Got a full listen in yesterday after you posted it. Its on my list for sure, bit of a mood piece but thats a good thing.
I really like it, I think it's a big step up from their last one. They played in Dublin and Cork recently and I'm raging I missed it, there were great reports afterwards.

sucker for these clay pipe music releases
Clay Pipe Music
Nightscapes recalls the feelings that are triggered and heightened by the dark hours. Recurring dreams, hypnagogic states, and half-sleep visions. The childhood sense of anticipation for the future that strikes in the middle of the night. The bittersweet feeling of waking up from a dream that has transported you back in time…
David Rothon is a musician from south London who has been involved in a variety of musical activities over the years, from garage bands to experimental spoken-word projects. These include a collaboration with Ian Masters (Pale Saints) as Sore & Steal and, more recently, Cloudier Skies with performer/chanteuse Claudia Barton, which was championed by Radio 3’sLate Junction.
David conjures up the hours between dusk and dawn by deploying a variety of instruments including pedal steel guitar, Mellotron, Omnichord, strings and cor anglais, as well as experimenting with unusual chord changes and voicings. Patching instruments through unexpected effects pedals, and running tracks out to cassette tape and back again, help bring an otherworldly ambience to the record. Parts of the album were semi-improvised, with melody lines developing from take to take, while field recordings and happy accidents led to serendipitous results.
Nightscapes takes you on a nocturnal journey – whether into your emotions and memories, or the sleeping world outside.

I think i heard that on Spotify a while back while looking for the original. It’s a pretty good cover, but not a patch on the real thing.
Wasn't that impressed with this
So how do know them previously, given this is their first release?
I heard the lead single off this album ages ago on bbc6 I think..and then looked at a couple of yokes on youtube iirc
probably my most listened to international record this year.
Great melodies and pop and all. I sorta know them and they are sound but like, its as solid a debut album as you are gonna get. When its great, its great. The hotpress review was fiasco.

Funny, I heard them for the first time on BBC6 and then looked at youtube also! That was a long time ago - the album was majorly delayed for some reason.
That first song was great..I just think the album is all a bit samey
