Daniel Crossley writes recently in a Fluid Radio review, “It would seem that the label can do no wrong at the moment producing stunning releases time after time. This is clearly the case with Simon’s project, as each composition resonates a deep atmospheric feel, capturing a timeless soundscape of the highest order.
With it’s orchestral like environment of exploration and wonder, ‘Anthem‘ demonstrates Simon’s expertise within the realms of experimental soundscapes. You immediately sense his ability to allow each track time and space to breath without ever needing to ‘over do’ things, a technique commonplace throughout.
This is never more evident than in the stand out track ‘Misery‘; never overreaching, never trying too hard to overstate, flawlessly encapsulating an eerie gothic feel along the lines of Jacaszek’s creations. ‘Anthem’ delievers ghostly digital portraits with it’s low organ tones and treated sounds… an exceptional debut album from the talented artist that would be a great addition to any music connoisseur’s collection.” 9/10 —Fluid Radio Album of the Week
His EP Anthem is available for purchase right now on Hibernate Records in a limited edition of 100. For a modest £5.99 (incl. P&P) you can get your hands on a beautifully packaged 3” CD with 5 tracks of wonderful drones, field recordings and textures. You may also preview and purchase Anthem digitally on BandCamp.
