Here Their Dreams LP
“Matt Davis is the still centre of the hypnotic world that is Bombazine Black, playing deceptively simple guitar riffs that build in layers and ripple dreamily outwards, meeting in loving intersection with here a vibraphone, there a cello, sometimes a harmonium or a glockenspiel. Out of the barest, purest elements and melodies, the band builds up, wave by imperceptible wave, dreamy sonic landscapes that are transportational in the very best musical sense. It is completely tight -- Davis knows precisely what he is orchestrating around him -- and yet the effect, for the listener, is to enter a vast kind of looseness, an aural trance in which images unspool like movies inside our heads, and the chaos of the outside world recedes."
Luke Davies, author ‘Candy’, ‘Isabelle the Navigator’, ‘God of Speed’.
"The manner in which Davis and his cohorts weave their clean yet warm and resonant instruments in and around each other is something to be savoured.â€
Wireless Bollinger
