Ten songs of folk origin, inspired by cheap joyful pop music and the writings of John Cage, assembled in a seaside town, with real and imagined instruments.

"'The first time I listened through it made me think of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, cutting across someone's brain and seeing all these bits of thoughts, pictures and sounds flicker through and pass. It's original, inventive, very pretty, beautiful, but innovative and strange as well."
- Eva Popov

'"...this is something that feels to me uniquely local. But it is also amazing, gentle music, ‘gently’ experimental but with a universal appeal. Its intimate without having that intentionally lo-fi shoddiness that sucks life out of so much so-called freak-folk that I think I might otherwise get into. Instead there is a careful devotion to the sound of each song.'
- Faux Pas

'"...Nick's solo recordings are electronic natural sounding things, like an underwater robot (old 50's robot, with lots of whurring dials and extensions) playing banjo, restrained inward looking dance tracks.'
- Seagull

'"...It's like a hot air ballon ride. like a hot air balloon with a zoo in it?...Sounds like a choose your own adventure!'
- Hazel Brown
