Following the debut by Stuart Carter's (Theme, Splintered, Heroin) solo endeavour in 2007 arrives this second album, 'A Circle of Skin', which continues his exploration of the twilight zone with a combination of light and dark shading, crepuscular atmospherics, contemporary psychedelic fug, immersive strums and that feeling of abandonment one attains as they sink back into a disorientating chasm of their own making. Initially issued as a very limited edition 12" lathe-cut on Stuart's own Idioblast imprint in 2024, this CD has long been due. "'A Circle of Skin' is music to give solace during the dark autumn evenings. Creating images and patterns of comfort to deflect from the hallucinogenic disorientations of reality. As ever with these things, there are always demons and spirits lurking within the shadows, showing us with a sharpened realisation to be mindful, as things can always get worse. These are the murky undercurrents of a world that keeps us alive and moving forward. The sounds present are at once both organic and synthesised, improvised and yet organised, soothing and unsettling, dark yet uplifting, cosmic and spaced but at the same time earthy and grounded... sometimes, contradictions are good."
