Matt from The Leaf Library has done fantastic stuff with us recently — with Sea Level, our recent covers comp, and on the forthcoming Miu Mau cassette — but their upcoming album is fucking fantastic and will still be up there with your year’s favourites come December. Treat yourself to a good time.

Ultra-minimal sine wave zoning, here. Strong Éliane Radigue vibes. It’s great.
always embarrassed when it comes to promoting my own stuff. dunno. anyway, delighted upon Mr Soliday's words and very pleased to be back to long-form pieces. i'd be happy if you'd listen. love.

Might need to try and squeeze a bit more on the hype sticker.
I was lucky enough to hear songs from this album last year & I've sat on the memory of that experience like a smug goose entrusted with the job of incubating an egg which, when hatched, will reveal some sort of prodigal goose – Our Lord Geese-us – that will forever change the discourse around geese*

Excellent news! Guess they'll be needing a local band to open...
Life Without Buildings will reunite to perform their 2001 album Any Other City in full this November to mark fifty years since Rough Trade opened its first record store; tickets on sale from 16 January!
