about

Claus Poulsen & Stuart Chalmers present this utterly mesmerising collection of self-styled 'fifth world' compositions on their second album together - "Fictions in the age of reason".

It brings luscious, expansive aural vistas to the fore that envelop and consume you. With a powerful emotional pull that is sometimes quite overwhelming, whilst simultaneously delicate, this fifth world is truly one to get lost in, and you may find yourself listening on repeat in order to retain that high of the first listen.

Whilst there are nods to the likes of John Hassel and Brian Eno's work within, as well as a sense of nostalgic melancholy at times reminiscent of Boards Of Canada's best material, ultimately this really is it's own singular beast and should be taken as such.

I'm very humbled to be able to release such a stunning album and cannot recommend it highly enough.

REVIEWS:
--------------
"The dynamic duo here present 'Fictions in the age of reason', a sweeping and expansive stab destined to make ripples with its Brian Eno-nodding evocative sensibilities." NORMAN RECORDS
www.normanrecords.com/records/179748-claus-poulsen-stuart-chalmers-fictions-in-the-age-of

"what I am served here is quite a surprise; a pleasant surprise at that. They call this 'fifth world' music, which is, of course, a bunch
towards Brian Eno and Jon Hassell's 'fourth world' music..." FRANS DE WAARD, VITAL WEEKLY 1215
