Bleep

With a honey-sweet melancholy voice and simple almost trance-like lyrics, Uphill Racer aka Oliver Lichtl's strengths as a composer and vocalist shine through in this 11 track album with M=Maximal. "Nautious" is a captured moment in time, brimming with lush orchestrations, found sound, a decadent guitar warble and Lichtl's boyish crooning. "Happy Xoxo" stands out with chant inspiring lyrics, energising organ and an indie-pop swell.
