Simon "Psymon" Ring I am completely spellbound by this album. It's like drifting in and out of sleep and subconsciously hearing snippets of the world as it carries on regardless around you. I'm looking forward to listening to my vinyl copy when it arrives and I will certainly be exploring previous recordings. Favorite track: NV Drowning.

silence et liberté Piano and guitar meet wonderful subtle electronic arrangements. An introverted, meditative and melancholic electroacoustic journey. Even though countless records of this genre have seen the light of day in recent years, this release stands out and fascinates from beginning to end. Finally a fantastic artwork and a high quality pressing. What a charming album. Favorite track: Carousels.

rikm A near perfect blending of melodic ambience, abstract loops, and field recordings, all brought together in a deep mix of sounds and sensations, atmospheres and environments.

Very impressive.

about

Caught In The Wake Forever is the solo project of Scottish multi-instrumentalist & songwriter Fraser McGowan.
Treading a path of quiet lo-fi, ambient, folk & modern classical music, Caught In The Wake Forever has had releases on a variety of highly regarded labels such as Archives, Dronarivm, Fluid Audio & Hibernate Recordings.
From the delicate torch songs of 2011's debut album 'Against A Simple Wooden Cross' to the nocturnal drones of 2016's 'Under Blankets', each recording has dealt with matters of emotional strain and release.
Caught In The Wake Forever's newest offering 'Waypoints' is the first full length album to step away from this formula. Whilst previous albums drew on deeply personal subject matter to guide the writing process, Waypoints navigates unknown territories using improvisation as its starting point. Recording began with two intense day-long sessions of modular synthesizer and acoustic piano. The resulting hours of improvised material were then gradually shaped over a 4-year period, McGowan relying on his musicianship and intuition to structure the compositions.

These exploratory pieces retain the abstract textures and sketch-like arrangements from which they were sculpted, finding form with the contemplative melancholy and delicate melodic warmth that characterises Caught In The Wake Forever's music. Seven instrumental works that sound like distant radio signals interspersed with fragments of lonely lo-fi piano, broadcast from an unknown, isolated location.
