"This new album greets song form with the usual fearlessly original force that Molitor throws at her work. It flits joyfully from eardrum bashing electronica to delicate piano, gravelly cello or sweet accordion guided by her mesmeric vocals" - The Wire
New solo CD by composer and sound artist Claudia Molitor stretches the boundaries of song with field recordings, experimental electronics and poetry.

Molitor creates every sound on the album – vocals, cello, accordion, distorted electronics, piano, field recordings
Each of the 14 tracks has a distinct sound world
Influences range from techno and jazz to Ivor Cutler and Nico
Field recordings include sounds of the Thames recorded during walks with her daughter
Composer uses her smartphone or minimalist equipment to capture field recordings
Tracks include texts by Graham Mackenzie (writer and Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival director) and poet Brian Patten
Both German and English texts
