My Long Accumulating Discontent is the fourth and certainly the strangest recording from Andrew Liles. This CD is in places more ‘melodic’ than Liles’ previous output and its 17 tracks cover a wide musical territory. Some songs are short and harmonious, other pieces are longer, subtle and contemplative with drifting delicate drones. In places the CD is truly bizarre and defies all conventions. The album doesn't fit easily into any definable bracket and we feel this oddity belongs in a class all of its own. Traditional English vernacular culture connoisseur Andrew King joins Andrew Liles for one track and Aaron Moore and Nick Mott of Volcano the Bear contribute to several other songs. My Long Accumulating Discontent is a distinct and peculiar excursion from the norm.

"The most important and pleasing aspect of Andrew Liles' latest full-length is that it doesn't depend on any one formula, nor does it ever venture into the realm of total and complete chaotic madness. At times the music is wonderfully melodic, featuring ballroom-like music circa 1930s or 1940s and, at other times, it is an admixture blossoming with strange digital reverberations and analogue distortion. Most notably, however, My Long Accumulating Discontent features intelligible vocal parts and nearly unedited instrumental passages. His music is ever-expanding and finding new modes of existence. There is no sense here in talking about drones or noise. Though the music can be a collage of random samples and instruments at times, this record also features a queer and convincing logic that stems from its almost antique sound. It's a shame that I missed this record in 2004, it deserves a great deal of attention as it is one of the most exciting records I've heard from the realm of all music subconscious and spectral." - Brainwashed [Lucas Schleicher]

"As noted before the influence of Nurse With Wound is never far away here in Liles' work, but I must also note that Liles develops his style more and more and it's in these special, small refinements that he builds quite a strong CD. Maybe the strongest so far. Some of his previous works were maybe a bit too uniform, dwelling too much on one idea, but here he takes his various ideas - ambient, musique concrete, electronic and surreal hörspiel - into account, and uses for each of the seventeen tracks elements from these ideas. Although I am not sure what the underpinning theme is here, I believe (so I am told) that it has to do with the current state of England - the violence, the pub closing early so everybody drinks too much - and that it was never any different. Liles uses Old English songs to make his point clear. Maybe for the non-native english man this is all hard to understand, and it is a damn fine album." - Vital Weekly [FdW]
