The flowering of Swiss narcissus meets OPAL and GALAXIE 500, in a soft psychedelic haze. Percussive clicks, vinyl pops and reverbed guitar notes form the backdrop of “The Cinematographer As Painter”. A slowly building hymn to filmmaking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe second vinyl opens with the deconstructed dub-pop of “Her Own Refrain”. Traditional elements being removed, leaving a ghost of a song whose chorus suddenly switches into sharp focus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“In Sacred Groves Of Hawthorn” features clear folk influences with its alternative tuning and pastoral feel.
