Following on from The Sky Looks Different Here, one of our top 10 albums of the year 2018, Paper Dollhouse initiate the first movements of the forthcoming Coney Island Ice Cream Techno series with Empty Rave.

Recorded in North London and following The Sky Looks Different Here and All The Colours Align sequence, Empty Rave features eight tracks of mind-bending serotonin reduced rave trax stripped of the smiley facsimile and transported to the outer reaches of the city. The sounds divert between chewy synth web's calling to mind the most frosty outer reaches of Legowelt and Hieroglyphic Being whilst continuing to tread down the towpath of more club focused sounds as found on the Chain Reaction style Sparrow. Inspired by a meeting with fellow Finders Keepers label mate Suzanne Ciani, Pudding Rain came to life while Empty Rave and Lumin carry the weight of the world across the end of the weekend blues, the falling dusk slowly swallowing whole the atmosphere of a post-daytime party laid bare.
