Adrian Utley  +++ at Strange Brew
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Sell out warning! Quicksilver avant-rap crew Cold Light coax a rare solo set from Portishead visionary Adrian Utley. He’s sitting stately atop an ear-watering gathering of experimental sounds from ethereal dreamer Bethany Ley, Eldon’s cosmic dread-cyphers, sultry astral-bass from Birthmark, Civilistjävel’s droning synth oblivions. Truancy = foolish."
