Cracking picture on this postcard sleeve, I’m quite taken with peeling paint and really adore oriental characters. Not sure what to say about the music, but it’s really lovely, taking the form of one long piece made up of amorphous shifting analogue drones, backward masked notes and glitches with dreamy chimes and isolatory ponderous guitar notes floating past in the slipstream, a very evocative piece indeed recorded in Liverpool’s Chinatown. Now that solves the mystery of where the picture was taken!

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

No stranger to hibernate, Wil Bolton is an artist and composer based
in Liverpool, UK. His debut CD release ‘Time Lapse’ uses guitars,
chime bars and vintage keyboards to create warm and emotive melodies,
fragmented and submerged among beds of droning ambient textures and
environmental sounds.

'Silver' is a single long-form track based around a field recording
made in Liverpool's Chinatown at Chinese New Year, blended with
enveloping analogue synthesizer drones and processed zither.
