He is “a tirelessly inventive recording artist” (PopMatters) with a prolific career of over 20 years. His work - impressionistic, architectural and emotionally vulnerable - has been described as “unlike any other” (The Quietus), displaying “A greater vision of how music can evoke feelings both grandiose and devastatingly intimate.” (Vice/Noisey). He recently released his new solo album of ballads, Raven, I Know That You Can Give Me Anything.
