Moka was asking about this record. I worked on it. I love the record so much I basically gave them a standing offer to sit in at a gig whenever they wanted. I'm not at all into modern dream-pop or this style of production usually, but something about the stateliness and simplicity of this guy's songs destroys me. It's on Orchid Tapes which means it's pwyc on Bandcamp and 500 copies pressed (and it sold out quick).

oh hey, did not know that my dude beau (fantastic engineer who mixed my first LP) played on this.

Oh, so that's why there's so little information about the release! They're fantastic, I just checked and the album is on Spotify so I'll be giving it a spin later this night. Their music reminds me of Atlas Sound at certain points so it's definitely the sort of modern 'dream pop' that's up my alley.

Swung from the Branches (2010) was gorgeous, although they could have trimmed many of the ambiance of the first half and I find it odd that one of my favorite tracks by them, 'Flashing lights have ended now', only appears as a bonus track.

The new one seems like it's only 8 tracks long so it should definitely be more concise than the past album. Will report back.

Already took a first listen and I'm loving it. My favorite song was Altars because I'm a sucker for women voices in dream pop, makes me wish he added a female singer as a permanent band member. March 2011, Shadow Song and the title track are great. Nice work on those ones Owen! Specially in Shadow Song, love the string crescendos throughout the track.

Thx. My favourite part is the Maurice Deebank-y solo on Into The Fields, gets me every time.

Ha, I hadn't even listened to that one. I had Spotify on shuffle by accident and it sent Fields and V079 to the bottom. Is that you as well? I thought Hildebrand was using some synths at first.

Nope it's all Warren
