It's been a decade since Carya Amara started Earthrid Records with the visceral electronic album 'Vestigial Digital'. It was followed by two retrospectives of music dating back as far as 1980, 'Extinction Frequency' and 'Tales of the Unattractive'. Since then there have been collaborative projects (released on Earthrid) and related musical ventures but no solo Carya Amara... but now here at last is 'The Late Carya Amara'.

Anyone who was perplexed by the diverse approaches of previous releases is unlikely to find this one any easier to decode - but the receptive listener will find this to be an immersive (if sometimes chilly) experience. Released in summer in the UK, the album's snowy themes are definitely unseasonal... but did you really want to wait any longer for 'The Late Carya Amara'?
