Rob Bryant With roots in industrial, post-punk and electro, Paul's work has evolved into a completely cohesive and addictive style on this album. Slick production with just the right amount of ethereal vocals makes it an experience you can come back to again and again. Highly recommended! Favorite track: Enrichment.

about

Here we have the 5th work put out by Australian, Adelaide based artist Paul Handley. It has been the intention to present a new release each year or so and these songs were written between March and December 2019. While perhaps only a minor digression from previous albums, the characteristic, beat driven electronica, is a touch more laid back this time. It is distinguished by an increased presence of choral female voices (albeit, a self-confessed ‘Clannad’ moment or two). Despite being instrumental, lacking the immediacy of lyrics, the thoughts and emotions perceived within are all related to a personal exploration and liberation, …of reflecting and releasing.

It may require a few listens to become familiar with the intrinsic form of this unconventional take of ethereal, downtempo. While listening, I suggest you fasten your attention to the deep bass rhythms found woven within the ensemble of processed drums (with their sporadic bursts of industrial mania), and allow the gentler synth melodies and polarising sonic tempests to swirl and play out around you.
