Portis Some of the best high end magic i've ever had the pleasure to listen to for the last 20 years. This teenager spun this gem from his bedroom at the time - with the gloriousness of tracks like Kill2, Screen Love, Megan's Present... still sends chills. When he delicately exclaims "i have ended my life" or "will you hold this for a while, it's my homesick pile". Oh my.

Bob•deathghost64 This is the first whole release from the artist I first heard as i cactus and grandma on epiphany radio. It saved my life. Sound is Light. Favorite track: Kill2.

sirosora 人間が経験でき得るすべての感情のなかで、最も美しい感情が、このアルバムには詰められている。

この奇跡を、17歳の少年が手書きで書き上げた。

彼の感情はいつでも切実であって、わたしに対して求めている。

それは愛の深さであって、彼は愛を訴えている。

Of all the emotions humans can experience, this album is packed with the most beautiful emotions.

A 17-year-old boy wrote this miracle in "handwriting".

His feelings are always urgent and demanding from me.

It is the depth of love, and he is clamoring for it. Favorite track: An Ape Is Loose.

about

Handwriting was released by Khonnor in 2004 on Type, while living in Saint Johnsbury, Vermont.

From Type: "This seventeen year old from Vermont, in his debut album has compiled something so personal and original that many would fail to achieve in a lifetime."

"Handwriting est beau à pleurer. Il est beau de mille manières, à pleurer de mille manières, et toutes ces manières sont propres à Khonnor, un gamin qui a lutté contre le vide et l’ennui, et qui, avec deux cailloux et un bâton, a réussi à assembler un disque riche, vivant, et personnel." - Johann Trümmel, weirdsound.net (Nov 2019)

"His touch is almost entirely unerring and this is an album of quite irresistable beauty." - David Stubbs, The Wire (Sept 2004)

"These hymns to introspection are worth, oh, at least a chapel of anyone's sonic cathedral." - NME (Jan 2005)

"He sounds utterly alone on "Handwriting," and he shows how magnificent solipsism can be." - New York Times (Jan 2005)

"Remarkable... the sound of undiluted heartache." - The Observer (Nov 2004)
