Album Notes & Community Reviews

Commissioned to reinterpret original electronic compositions by 1970s library music pioneer Delia Derbyshire, Hannah Peel crafts a brilliant, highly rhythmic homage. 'Fir Wave' utilizes vintage synthesizers and modern IDM programming to bridge early electronic experimentation with contemporary ambient techno, resulting in a lush, deeply textured, and Mercury Prize-nominated project. The record stands as a seamless conversation across decades of analog synthesis.
