Shadow Ring frontman Graham Lambkin recorded most of the music on Aphorisms during the start of the winter time back in 2022. He did so across locations in post-pandemic New York and post-Brexit London and in doing so captures the sound of daily life and reworking it into haunting and intimate soundscapes. It is his first real album in some seven-odd years and serves as an extended "transatlantic meditation" that focuses on processing that move back to the UK after almost 20 years living stateside. It's fragile and hypnotic and beautiful and another great work from this modern maestro.
