There’s something jarring and slightly robotic and I like that about them. iIs it lazy journalism to say Teutonic ? After all they are from Austria, they are informed by a lot of great post punk but Sentics stand out from the crowd of fey Indie poppers by being somewhat dark in tone – spacey Metronomic rhythms and I can see Markus doing a David Byrne like dance to the music in a vessel floating in space

This new Sumatran Black Album was written in the hours of darkness and in the wee small hours with abnormal sleep patterns, and at these hours the best work is often made, and what work it is
Deep sensations and images flood the mind. Nighthawks who work with zoom all day and barely see anyone. These are the strange days and emotions are fraught and we are RAW. Permit me to dream but I think we will see a huge return to clubs and live music and a third summer of Love. (this has been talked about a lot in the excellent faith fanzine, which as you know is the continuation of the BOYS OWN fanzine a HOUSE magazine Hopefully an end to business techno TM and with a real grassroots movement of collective conscientious party promoters with a sense of History regarding club culture and redressing that the origins are black, gay, inclusive and respectful of cultures. Peter is well aware of the origins of club culture as a fanatic and lover of all types of music he’s part of the second wave of acid house babies that were raised in the 80s and 90s we were both lucky to come from inclusive backgrounds and were lucky to experience mass gatherings and concerts, I’m going off on a tangent here but this album is about dislocation and drifting away from the self. I worry for the youth of today who are missing out on essential identity building and memory making experiences. I feel as though sometimes the only thing that keeps me going now is nostalgia and I feel that there will be a generation who feel lost. Amongst manifold loss

to conclude … Your Loving Presence is needed, however it is, be it a digital reproduction ( JOI Blade runner 2 ) zoom love story telling and reaching out to your family ( both Pete and I are away from our close families )
please buy his music it is from the heart and heartwrenching as I have said before his melodies are heart renderingly beautiful.
