Gerrit Truly a hidden gem of an album. I'm surprised it hasn't found more attention and support. I love this album for all its great songs, beautiful melodies, vocals, and lyrics. I hope it's not a one-time release. As one of my top Bandcamp favorites, highly, highly recommended! Favorite track: White Pages White Ink.

Alexander S. Kunz What a beautiful and unique combination of analog synths and soothing voice. Beautiful with a sometimes edgy tinge, and sweet melancholy. Favorite track: White Pages White Ink.

Chris Thomson A wonderful collection of well crafted songs. Silky vocals sit well with the warm analogue synths. A beautiful album with a dreamy and cinematic quality. Favorite track: IMSI Catcher.

Callum MacDonald It says something about a great artist when life pulls the palette away from their brush that they are able turn to another medium and maintain the same ridiculously high standard.

So welcome all Find your place We'll be gazing Low, where things fall Under space It will be amazing We pledge to you No surprise Neither fickle wonders No, this is all Shade your eyes Hide inside penumbra

The gentle murmur smoothing out your shoulder A sudden laugh, a snort to flip your mood A comic shudder, when the air turns colder Humming, hissing, cooing, stirring up the blood Words of wisdom and profound reflection Phrases ably made to lift your soul Even paragraphs of pure affection Rambling sentences to make us whole Sweet and honeyed when I want your shiver Soft and sighing when I need your skin Never harsh or with a sneer delivered Often moulding round the shape you're in

IMSI Catcher 04:22
I'm a watcher, eye flick, finger glide Seeing is believing, it's my living now I'm a watcher, focus in, look away Dreaming is achieving, it's my MO now She's a catcher, count click, calculate Hearing and retrieving, it's her rhythm now She's a catcher, zoom in, steady gaze Scheming is perceiving, it's her MO now Blink twice, mind shut, spell bidden and hypnotised Thumbs dance, why not, hag-ridden and monetised Look for matches, patterns where they congregate Lying and deceiving, it's the rhythm now Making masses, gone beyond the opiate Leading and receiving, it’s the MO now She logs glance, she checks looks, she times the beat and buys the heart, He left clicks, he lip-licks, brain playing a second part She counts the blinks, and muscle ticks, the self-bubble of suicide He won't think, judgement sinks, her method is genocide Blink twice, mind shut, spell bidden and hypnotised Thumbs dance, why not, hag-ridden and monetised

Retrograde 04:02
Roam the plastic spangled ocean Crew your liner sleekly laid Dare the current, damn the detail Set your bearing to display Reach the hurly burly delta Anchor her in deepest shade Step down to the jungle steamer Now against the water wade Feel the tender jungle stretching Arms to fold you in its glade Ground the steamer, fell the timber Paddle now with what you've made Stepping now on slickened pebble Climbing up the canyon's grade Stooping now to sip and savour Dewdrops on a grassy blade Shuck your pack begin to slither Moss embracing to persuade Nothing else for you to ponder Now at last it's retrograde

That long summer, under endless blue skies You were naked, on the hillside, blazing a trail Every hard-won acre, gave rise to creation Landscape and plant shape were bent to your will Finding shelter under blue skies Finding shelter next to moist earth Finding shelter, touching leaf mould Under blue skies, finding shelter in place

Moon triggered a new dream My history was unseen My mystery was unheard My misery was unshared I woke up to creation Sparks for my imagination White pages to write on White ink to keep the lights on This sun looks like a new sun The day's always a fine one The mood's good and it drives me The wind blows and revives me The sky is open and streaming Smiles everywhere beaming White pages to write on White ink to keep the lights on Moon triggered a new dream My history was unseen That face shows me no dark mind The words I'm hearing are all kind Your lips offer me so much This touch feels like a new touch My street's mapped on a new chart I'm stepping up with a young heart White pages to write on White ink to keep the light on The morning's a new dawn a new dawn a new dawn This sun is a new sun a new sun a new sun This day is a spring day a spring day a spring day The moon is a good one a good one a good one
