This collaboration between Paul Dixon and his friend and former violin tutor James Underwood is an absorbingly experimental, clever cross-genre collection from pop, folk, indie, trip hop to dark electronica and a lick of neoclassical. Featuring a selection of guest vocalists, the pick of the bunch is Deletia, featuring Mysie, the title inspired by the idea of the content of of an email chain that’s been removed, the term coming from Douglas Coupland novel Microserfs’, and hear relating to “bits of ourselves we can’t quite delete no matter how hard we try”. Other standouts include Origami with Rae Morris, It’s A Waste Man (with Aquilo), Spirographs with Kelly Lee Owens, Purpose with the deep spoken voice of Ghostpoet, and the title track itself. The album’s music was written during lockdown, and following on from two EPs, it was intended to capture an elsewhere from their surroundings, inspired by the Brian Eno idea of written loud music in quiet places and vice versa. “It was a dark time, but we did a lot of music about wanting to have a sense of wonder, about being warm and embrasive.'“ Out on Benvolio Music.
