Shane Parish: Autechre Guitar

In 2026, Parish released Autechre Guitar on Palilalia Records, a collection of solo acoustic finger-style arrangements of songs by the English electronic duo Autechre. “Autechre Guitar is elegant and crystalline, a set of fascinating miniatures composed of unexpected links and gaps. It’s as confounding and crafted as an Escher staircase.” (WIRE MAGAZINE/Derek Walmsley) “Ultimately, Autechre Guitar works on multiple levels. It’s a celebration of Autechre’s music, shining a spotlight on the durability and flexibility of their songwriting. At the same time, it’s an invitation to listen deep inside the music, to take part as active listeners in the process of translation and interpretation. And while it hardly needs to be said, it’s an invitation to simply get lost in Shane’s astonishingly fleet playing, which takes these songs of unfathomable difficulty and makes them seem practically effortless.” (Philip Sherburne) “After a few listens, the intricacy of the numerous patterns becomes clearer, with time signatures and tempos working together to create a tapestry of beautifully accomplished acoustic playing. Super clean, incredibly precise and simply a pleasure to listen to, Autechre Guitar is a stunner” (KLOFmag / Glenn Kimpton).
