Great when you hear a recommendation that hits the spot.
Funny thing is I’m sat playing it in the car, iPhone/Tidal, in a retail centre car park in Crewe whilst my wife is looking for shoes.
Trying not to look at anyone ‘funny’.
Really nice album.

Like this a lot. Right up my strasse.
Reminded of the new Penguin Cafe album - handfuls of night
Bought it on vinyl here
https://www.penguincafe.com/penguins...inyl-pre-order
So I was intrigued by this track so downloaded the album (Montage) into Audirvana. Mika Posen was one of the main violinists playing alongside Agnes Obel. She has contributed to a number of artists and plays both violin and viola but the album I downloaded Montage has a lot of electronica loops and ambient soundscapes.
It casts a dreamy soundstage with huge ambient sound and beautifully arranged pieces. Some of the music is haunting and mediative and there are echoes not surprisingly of Agnes Obel.
All I can say is it is 30 minutes of stunningly good music that will get inside your head. Not heard it on vinyl yet but it is on the way
