beguiling & flowing nocturnal soundscapes, lyrically & conceptually inspired by london’s hinterlands & hidden corners.
the underworld man has collaborated with acclaimed producer & former eno cohort leo abrahams for this deliberately more spontaneous & organic debut, working his deeply personal & considered songs around ambient textures, found sounds & beautifully effected melodic phrases. the deluxe edition contains 4 bonus tracks plus the hour-long original film ‘edgeland’, a conceptual piece shot in & around london’s ‘edglelands’ by karl hyde & director kieran evans. "a fascinating affair, stepping away from the duo’s dancefloor electronica into jazzily ambient terrain, bending songs around effects laden guitar parts & treated vocals" - telegraph "there’s a level of depth here which showcases hyde’s musical maturity & sensibility" 4/5 - music ohm.
