The former King Of Woolworths has spent the last few years recording faintly sinister, authoritarian electronica for cult label Ghost Box. This is music from a world where the cold war never ended and every pond or electricity pylon is a death trap waiting to happen.
‘Mind How You Go Now’ gets the album off to a krautrockin’ start, while ‘Osprey’ and ‘Seasons’ are lovely, melancholic pieces that sound like they’ve slipped through time from 1967. It’s nostalgic, sure, but there’s a sly sense of humour that stops it from being just a Radiophonic Workshop pastiche. Gorgeous and eerily resonant.
