Album Notes & Community Reviews

Fiercely operating outside the traditional music industry, Martin Newell's DIY project distributed this charming, highly idiosyncratic album exclusively via homemade cassettes. 'In the Golden Autumn' masterfully balances jangly, 1960s-inspired British pop melodies with incredibly lo-fi, hiss-drenched bedroom recording techniques and rudimentary drum machines. The deeply nostalgic, fiercely independent record eventually became a hallowed cornerstone for the modern hypnagogic pop and indie-folk movements.
