About Me

....'...an honest artist, unafraid to express his innermost feelings on life. His delicate compositions, at times, seem on the verge of collapse, but just like life itself there are flickers of hope peppered throughout...' (angry ape) '...A balance between substance and expression is maintained for the better part of an hour, and it's within this region where Last Days is truly impressive...' (silent ballet) '...In fact, there are times when you'd swear you were listening to something on Type or Kranky: 'Points Bridge' is up there with Helios as far as organic instrumental electronica goes...' (Boomkat) '...An album that rewards with repeat listenings, These Places Are Now Ruins is a beautiful achievement. Highly recommended...' (The Irish Times) '...These Places Are Now Ruins includes numerous lovely moments, such as the blurry string-drenched overture “Station,” which finds Richardson gravitating towards Eluvium territory...' (Textura) '...These songs might operate as a soundtrack counterpart to a cinematic rendered in the shadows of hollowed-out buildings, or to slow-motion moments reliving how and when it all started to go so wrong...' (CokeMachineGlow) '...At its most touching, this record serves as a reminder of the fragility of the human soul. At its bleakest, it somehow offers the unlikeliest of comfort and solace...' (Evilsponge) ! Last Days
