Album Review
Your Imaginary Friend
Reviewed 2025-03-01
Cinematic atmospheric experimental, near new music (classical) with composed feel. UK artist, electronic, video game composer worked with Sigur Ros, Goldie, Massive Attack and Micachu among others. Very chill and lovely beautiful dreamy. High quality dare I say professional, musical stuff. From the splendid RVNG label.

All instrumental, FCC clean.

1)(2:42) mindful droning harmonizing string/organ like tones hypnotic 2)* (3:33) female near whispered words with cinematic strings and blippy trippy tones 3) (3:24) atmospheric but builds into insistent feel 4)* (5:42) begins again with ethereal tones, near choral, cinematic with voices, cello 5)* (7:22) warped tones with this noisier piece, with low drones and swirling synth 6) (3:38) very lovely looped with strings, brings to mind Harold Budd’s Avalon Sutra (high compliment) 7) (2:37) sawtooth wave version of strings, with higher tension and intense dramatic cinematic feel 8) (1:44) brief cello based with echo, tones flying about 9) (3:22) heavy on the minor toned melodic strings, very movie score’ish 10) (6:22) quiet, chill melodic organ like tones
