    A hushed collection that floats through the subconscious like a tender dream.

    Everything feels like it is pulsating away within an amniotic sac – in a good way – as instruments wander across the songs, as though orchestrating themselves.

    While this record sounds bleak on the surface, there's a strange sense of comfort in these songs; they acknowledge the sad state of the world even while attempting to transcend its darkness and uncertainty.

    At first the music seems hermetically sealed; only with repeated listens - and an emphatic twist of the knob - do the subtle splendours burst out of the aural chrysalis containing them and take flight. [Jun 2020, p.34]

    There are fleeting, faraway echoes of John Martyn at his wooziest, but Mills has crafted something very personal and individual.

    Quiet and powerful. A record that demands your full attention and is willing to show u why if u didn't you'd be foolish
