levitating for as long as possible for maximum effect before gradually fading into the void. There is real beauty in its simplicity.

his wonderfully soft edged, disarming vocals telling a well articulated tale of distance friendships, their difficulties and the joy of those reunions

a trip down memory lane or maybe just a first time listen to classic twentieth century chamber folk and ensemble aided crooning

Loops come, go, repeat and retreat, but don’t be deterred by the word loop, the LP is a masterclass in the repetitive arts.

Well ignore what I just said about her progressive tendencies, this is gloriously classic harp music - pure and simple.

The LP is a wonderfully calming/contemplative/palliative (delete as required) exercise in minimal ambient piano.

the soundscapes are rich in atmospheric guitar work, pedal steel swathes and elevating electronic support

From ambient jazz soundscapes to spiritual swingers, modal meditation to library cinematic numbers it's all there rubbing shoulders.

She too succeeds admirably, peering into the undergrowth at ecosytemic minutiae with her attention to sonic detail

On this recording Mehr perpetuates Warners sonic deviance by using his borderline instrumental abuse as his main sound source.

The LP is a walk on the ambient side of Americana, the first half being more recognisably structured acoustic folk musings

relying on her naturally minimal & more measured compositional approach, which gives the viewer time to reflect on the gravity of the times

They have an enviably consistent line in swampy Americana, often with a toad licked edged that defies easy categorisation

blissful spiritual jazz, anchored by a deeply soulful, almost horizontal grooviness and soaked in new age radiance for good measure.

It's a powerful, stirring composition & an adventurous slice of neoclassical music which sets a high bar & uncompromising tone for her label

You couldn't really wish for a more onomatopoeic ambient track, truly this track is the faded memory of summer

replaced by dreamy synth pads that drift through the speakers like a warm breeze on a summer day.
