Following on from 2017's heralded Killing Ghosts (HOMEN 091CD), as well his most recent collaboration with Stijn Hüwels as Silent Vigils, Fieldem (HOMEN 111CD, 2018), James Murray presents the long-player Falling Backwards. With a focus on childhood memories and the literal act of letting go, Falling Backwards is his most personal release to date. With its warbled tones and fractured melodies, it makes you feel as if you are in the midst of experience a pure science fiction; happily, and playfully lost in some other world. Falling Backwards is an album of incredible strength and hope, of personal tribulation and yet also triumph. It is a natural arc to the work of Killing Ghosts as it breaks the barrier of things hidden and withdrawn, and shouts from the rooftops with its forceful awakening as the album evolves. It is an electronic masterpiece, yet you would be hard-pressed to use the term "ambient" here as it does not attempt to hide in the shadows.
