Nov 2008

This is a release on Type Records, the label I co-founded with John Xela. John was responsible for its musical output; I contributed in the first few years on design and running the label. The catalogue is archived here for posterity.

'Caesura' is his 'proper' follow-up to the acclaimed 'Eingya', and sees Keith return to the instrumental sound he knows so well. In fact in many ways 'Caesura' is a more electronic work than its predecessors, blending layer upon layer of synthesizer and adding his assured drumming to come up with the perfect meeting of indie-pop and ambient music. Accompanied by more gorgeous artwork from Matthew Woodson, 'Caesura' is a glowing record for the winter months, and a glimmer of hope to keep the seasons at bay.

Made at Type.
