“You may know Bec from Twitter, YouTube, or from her streak of amazing and award-winning Edinburgh runs. Or you may have just caught wind from her dork-tastic fan base. She will flip-chart right into your heart and set off sillitary-grade puncussion grenades. She's much better than this flavor text, we assure you.”

“It’s been 10 years since Craig Dyer titled his creative project, The Underground Youth, and started releasing his lo-fi psychedelic recordings for free online. Following the prolific output of 2009’s ‘Morally Barren’ and ‘Voltage’ and 2010’s ‘Mademoiselle’ and ‘Sadovaya’, a loyal fan base quickly developed and never stopped growing.”

“Bong feel ever so omnipresent on ‘Thought and Existence’, continuing their revered ability to transform time through their sublime sonic textures. As all listeners of this rite will attest, the band’s stellar meditative and mystical drone, amplified by the essential and ritualistic hue of the drums, permits our imagination to be heightened. New realms of perception and existence open up, even if only for the duration of the rite; the power of this listening experience subverting the laws of time and space itself.”
