Newlyn’s sound on Tapes and Ghosts is an earthy flavor of ambient, at times resembling the Eno-y vintage of floaty music, as on “Surfacing“, where pianos meet string pads on the edge of discordance. “Sunset” follows suit, with a gentle guitar lightly overtaken by shimmering synths once daylight gives way to the spectral. And on "Year," a muffled spirit-speech accompanies Newlyn’s sheets of overlapping strings and melodic snatches. Heartfelt and wistful, like wandering far from home. MDonaldson (8sided.blog)
