Debut Album - Canary
Press for Canary
“Canary gazes into the abyss... a world shaken by explosive events, the fragmentation of our collective consciousness, the rise of machine intelligence, the tragic loss of a child at birth, and the everyday reality of living without one's parents. Yet, amidst this turmoil, Reynolds consistently manages to find a heartbeat in his blend of electro-organic sounds." - Earmilk
"One of my favourite electronic music producers around” - Steve Lamacq, BBC 6Music
"The expansive electronic songs on “Canary” reflect both a sense of unease about the world’s future and finding hope to carry on" - Bandcamp editorial
“Self-help guidance with the neurons fired-up, the mind open, Canary counterpoints mistrust with wonderment, alarm with the rational and the optimistic. It has taken a while to arrive, but Reynolds debut expanded album of thoughts and ideas is a mature statement of quality.” - Monolith Cocktail
“An opus of beauty, intensely powerful and emotionally intense, adroitly composed and performed. It is evident that Sebastian Reynolds’s moment has come.” - Louder Than War
“A stunning piece of work, it’s about loss, grief and recovery, all feelings expertly and uniquely expressed courtesy of Sebastian’s mastery of electronics.” - Elizabeth Alker, Unclassified, BBC Radio 3
