minusthefire Mike once again outdoes himself. His embrace of his Patreon community throughout the process of making this record has been so lovely to be a part of. Many of us genuinely feel like we’re an actual part of this brilliant album, and it’s been a joy to watch it come together. The final product is absolutely crushing. Support this man and his music! Favorite track: R U The Future??.

emptyfish I can already tell this is special from first listen, and I mean special even in the context of Vennart’s incredible catalog. These songs are just soaring, epic, deep… all the words. What a great way to welcome February!

Songs and words all written and performed by Mike Vennart except for the drums which are all played by Joe Lazarus. Piano on ‘Whereupon…’ and Rhodes on ‘Casino’ by Gambler aka Richard A Ingram.
Drums recorded by Tom Peters at The Arch Studios in Southport.
Mixed By Tom Peters at Trap Door Studios in Liverpool.
Mastered by actual Frank Arkwright at Abbey Road Studios.
All art, layout, coordination and animation and all vibes by Jessica Wild, without whom there would be nothing probably. Remember the old nothing days?

Thank you all family and all friends. Thank you all cats, and even some dogs. Thank you residents of my street for not calling the law on me when I was doing all the guitars all loud for like a week.

Made, as ever, for he who never bloody listens anyway.

This record would not have been possible without the very real support of my Patreon community.

Listening to this in 2022 and it still Bangs as hard as when it came out! Criminally overlooked. ‘Capra’ is also one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. Dylan Evans

Three epic oceanic tracks (and appropriate album art to match) that both suggest Amplifier and distinguish Sel's work outside of the band. So. Many. Guitars. Particularly excellent drumming as well. For the newly initiated, whether you start with an Amplifier album or a Sel solo release, you're going to get immersive, high quality (both production and performance) jams that can bring the subtlety every bit as much as the brute force. Bon voyage. Anthony Childs
