yourdadsbff A truly unique and awesome listening experience.

The New Emphatic A brilliant album that’s filled to the brim with playfully examined sounds and melodies.
I’ve spent time with it both digitally and in its physical form on tape. There’s really two different experiences to have here that brought out different parts of the album for me.
Very much recommended to get yourself a physical copy! Favorite track: Elf Machine.

Greg Nieuws Great textures and landscapes to get lost in here. Favorite track: Mushroom.

Alp Superb album from first listen, you gotta dive in this soundscapes and better learn to swim quick, otherwise you will be washed away to the eternity.

about

Situated somewhere between shoegaze, ambient and left-field electronics, Bottletown, the artist's fourth album, evokes a varied landscape - an exploratory series of warm, expansive pastorals punctuated by angular, otherworldly spaces. Gauzy, saturated synth lines swell and unfold into equally-beautiful, glitched-out arrangements of audio detritus and soaring, ethereal vocals. At any given moment, the atmosphere might be cosy, unsettling or somehow both simultaneously.

Wow - what a release! Constantly evolving, parts have a towering presence, others feels almost oceanic. Ranges from downright scary to comforting. Brilliant! Daniel Townend

Mairidh Bron is beautiful, with waves of chanting and occasional blistering guitar feedback. Totally mesmerising and enveloping Stuart Haynes
