"A hangover square soundtrack to drifts around the Soho Stonecircle, rainfall drone & ambient grime noir for Saturday mornings sat in damp cafes and Saturday afternoons sat in dreary pubs RIYL the Factory novels, old grime whitelabels, orange street light glow soaked dead ends, NEL G.F. Newman paperbacks, pagan rituals and out of body experiences in 90s Soho record shops & the ambient emptiness of Anworth or London zone 5 train station waiting rooms, waiting rooms while outside the window rainfall widens the cracks in the concrete of this aging land, a world of stone... after dark"
