Amazing mini-album of machine errors and indie passion from this idiosyncratic Canberran genius, including a sensitive but twisted Peter Broderick cover.

I came across Tangents through listening to Ollie Browns cutting edge electronic explorations as part of Icarus and doing some further digging. I was blown away by this album, it's pure smoothness all the way through.

Sweeping, ambitious and orchestral post-rock and jazz. I really enjoy how prominent the drums are in many of the tracks, and that even though the songs are long they never feel meandering. For some reason the synth parts remind me of The Doors. I like that.

An introspective record that fuses post-rock, shoegaze and ambient synth patches into a seamless array of shimmering soundscapes.
