Pete Twentythree awesome electronica. AOTICP got me through a bad patch and this feels like it could do the same. i advise you to check out the Joe Muggs interview with Dids because until this week I didnâ€™t know his awesome history!

dampsquib Each of the tracks on this album is wholly engaging; The Great North Wood was quite marvellous, Komorabi is equally so. An extraordinary depth of emotion, these are brilliant soundscapes.
Favorite track: Wonderdusk 2.

about

Gagarinâ€™s latest album is named after the Japanese word Komorebi which refers to how sunlight is seen and felt through leaves and branches, and the record takes that as a loose theme through itâ€™s ten tracks evoking light and shade and the combining of both.
Gagarin is the solo project of veteran experimentalist Graham â€˜ Didsâ€™ Dowdall who has spent several decades operating around the outer fringes of rock, dance, electronic and improvised musics. Currently a member of avant legends Pere Ubu he has worked with Nico, John Cale, Ludus and many more in his long career. 2023 saw him commissioned to create a soundscape for and event on Box Hill in Surrey and also a soundtrack for a film about Nico - tracks developed from these are on the new album.
His last album The Great North Wood was played on BBC Radio 3, 6 Music, resonance FM, NDR in Germany, RCV France, RTE Ireland, RUM Portugal, Boiler Room and received coverage and reviews in the Wire, Quietus, Electronic Sound, Rockerilla, Impose, Bandcamp Daily, 6am, Freq, Big Shot and many more.

During the final days of writing my thesis I listened to this album on repeat for hours at a time. It was like being suspended in one eternal moment while all that changed around me were the ripples and eddies of a slowly meandering river. catharina_bee

Building a New Town

Here we have a bit of instrumental folktronica, the brainchild of Gordon Chapman-Fox. Various keyboards mix with crisp acoustic guitar, creating a semblance of wistful nostalgia. The music is delicate and languid, sometimes bordering on supernatural. My only complaint is that itâ€™s an EP, I could stand a lot more of this in one sitting. Nickie Harte Kelly
