Album Review: Oliver Tank - Slow Motion Music

The title is sort of right. There is a feeling, a drama, in Oliver Tank's mostly machine-made music that drips its emotion into you. There's depth to his little synthesised worlds, songs which can sometimes be almost hymnal and longing, such as the little insistent waves of Home, or can be askance and dreamier like Her's heartbeat echoes and wordless singing. You Never Know is just a pop song of subtlety in its quiet spirals that stay with you. Across its sometimes delicate components there is an absolute craft and care.
