Pthhhh

Beautiful chamber strings, ranging from fragile hints and suggestions to pulsating Hitchcockian chase-scenes.

Bleeding Heart Narrative
(Tartaruga, Cold Spring)

A mini-orchestra of strings, drums, electronics, noise, voices and assorted bits and pieces. Emotive recollections of a faded seaside resort.

Daniel Merrill

Jecklin

Dreamy caustic improv with double bass, percussion, and more thrown in. Like the soundtrack to a lost Brothers Quay jazz film.

Hurra caine Landcrash
(split femur, noground-r, first person, cytherea.)

Rural twilight clicks and hums - disorientating, strange and at the same time oddly familiar.

Brassica
(Tartaruga)

Warm, electro-acoustic sketches and dense sonic landscapre. Half-remembered daydreams and echoes of blissful (almost)pop.

Coldstream
(Tower Amp Recordings)

Melting glacial drones - the sounds of a deserted underwater city. Brooding soundscapes to sink into.

Grapefruits
Citric yellow fruit.
