‘The latest wonderful album from Chester’s Carl M Knott, after a series of superb releases for labels such as Mortality Tables, Waxing Crescent Records, and Subexotic Records, including the marvellous Kullu from earlier this year.
‘Wonky acoustic guitar, broken electronics, and a warm, otherworldly space; at once strange and experimental, yet melodic and somehow comforting. Intimate and evocative, deeply personal; at once bucolic and bang-up-to-date, like Kraftwerk dreaming about sheep.’

“We enjoy spending time in the woods with our young children, creating stories about the ‘eye tree’. This tree, with thousands of eyes, watches over us and cares for us like family. We make fox medicine and cherish these blissful moments. The music reflects these times, seen through the colors of an old, fuzzy reel — orange, red, and yellow with blurred edges, like an old photo scorched by the sun.
“I feel a deep spiritual connection to the countryside; the hands of Arcadia cradle me when I feel sad. Some of the album was created during times of sadness when I felt death was close and the lines between worlds were blurred. This feeling — that anything can happen and that life is delicate and can be taken away in a flash — permeates the music.
“The song titles are stories and memories of my family, filled with hazy pinks, yellows, reds, and oranges.”
