Having taken a run through the back catalogue I merely suggest having a pile of clean handkerchiefs to hand to wipe away tears prior to opening up the music.

A little late to the latest release, A Place To Stay (available on bandcamp), which came out earlier this month – apologies.

A song which resonates of gently played strings of acoustic guitar, breaking vocal, both, brushed with the soft keys and hushed vocal of Sara Teixeira creating its own tear streak that catches all those it touches.

The latest track to surface MOV0032A opens with a glitchy bass and prestissimo steel with electronica and snare merging in to the sound prior to the electronica taking over the shape of the song and resulting in a just over three minutes of drifting ambiance.

The début EP (available on bandcamp) Beer, Dog Shit & Chanel N°5 is a beguiling five track release of hazy slowly revolving retrospective synth and vocal in to which the listener is drawn by the silky web of sounds.

The closing track is Hell/Smell.

The curling folds of extended loops circle the room akin to immersive and infinite revolutions as acoustic and plugged in instrumentation paint the winding rope core, providing the listener with a roughly eighteen minute four track EP (available on bandcamp) in which to loose their sense of direction and time in the psychedelic effects.

Best heard in totality The Length Of A Line is an almost continual thread of ideas rather than chapters dividing a book, however a section that stands as a highlight – the second track – Tease Me – serves as my pick of the release.
