Beautiful album from Andrew Chalk’s partner and collaborator, Vikki Jackman, packaged in the usual jaw-dropping hand-made style from Faraway Press. This is another set of luminous, smeared/treated piano works evocative of various dream states, reveries and forgotten memories while building haunting compositions from a drift of notes, subtle field recordings and odd sonic stylings. This has a more ‘new age’ feel than her previous release, with a slow-motion take on Kosmiche keyboard drone that is supremely affecting alongside aspects of the quietest Haino/Mazzacane sides as well as the classic Mirror albums. Highly recommended.

Brand new edition of this stunning solo album from Andrew Chalk's partner Vikki Jackman, a reissue of the ultra-limited LP that came out a few years ago and instantly disappeared into the deep pockets of Japanese collectors. Jackman's delicate piano playing has appeared on previous Mirror and Andrew Chalk releases but given the space of a whole disc to spread out on, she has created a beautiful, melancholic, deeply personal piano album, combining single notes that fall like baubles of rain with clusters of music box melodies and the kind of endlessly deep drones that feel as if they are drawn straight out of the past. Absolutely beautiful and up there with Goldfall, Nights and Shadows From The Album Skies as one of the best releases to come out of this particular cabal. Highly recommended.
