Andrew Poppy - She Not Here / Box of Bowls (CDR)

The latest, leaked sounds from the Poppy camp sound very promising. Track two is a whirlwind of pure piano flourish, an real analogue bubblebath that carries on from one of my favourite moments from years ago - that piano cadenza at the end of The Impossible Net.

She Not Here is a new dimension to the composer's work - vocal driven, but more akin to ideas in previous albums like Alphabed and Under The Son than the pop art of Another Language. The vocals languish over organic sequences and a Schubert sample. How and when will these tracks be officially available? We wait with baited breath...
