The surrealist ambience of K.Leimer’s “Noise Coiled Sleep” is a sweeping study of meditative tranquillity, employing bizarre sonic textures with the assuredness of someone who has spent decades perfecting their craft.

On the reverse Like A Villain's arrangement for FTS001 is more emotional offering, highlighting distinctive feelings from pleasure to fear. Beginning in calmness and serenity, the track develops into a swirling vortex of noise and confusion drowning out the original pristine melodies.

FTS001 is out 10 November via First Terrace Records.
