Imminent new material builds on a reputation for ground-breaking production - swathes of blissed-out analogue synthesizer and soulful, haunted voices levitate above a base of thick moog bass and vital live drumming. It’s a fresh sound; one that is both grandiose yet full of room for reflection.
Department M's debut mini-album was rolled out late in 2013 to universal plaudits from the likes of NME, Drowned In Sound, Loud and Quiet et al. After a period of hibernation Dept. M are now a creative duo after welcoming artist/collaborator and drummer Tommy Davidson into the fold. Those accustomed to Dept.M will be surprised by the warm and musical about-face of new material.
"a welcome re-introduction to an underrated songwriter"

"A lean and consistently engaging package...crystal-clear vision"

“There’s a palpable tension between the natural and the synthetic throughout but it’s an atmosphere Brinley controls to spellbinding effect.”
