London's A Grave With No Name has released his second album of the year - this one's an instrumental collection called Pocketknife.
Alexander Shields (the talented musician behind AGWNN) released Wooden Mask in August, but apparently had more left in the chamber.
The new LP is 30 minutes of "ambient compostiion" and is described as a "companion piece and epilogue to its stripped-to-the-bone predecessor." It's inspired by The Charlatan, a short story by William Cody Watson, and edited down to tape from a mammoth arsenal of home improvisations.
Pocketknife is being self-released as a limited edition cassette. It's available to buy/stream below.
