Amphis (reprise Four years of slow-burning success on from the rolling primal rhythms and joyous arpeggios of his 2010 debut ˜Holkham Drones™, Luke Abbott makes a bold return with his sublime second album offering ˜Wysing Forest™. Comprising a series of improvised live recordings compiled into one rapturous movement and hallmarked by the majestic elegiac pastorals of the two-part ˜Amphis™ theme, this is most definitely an album which is greater than the sum of its parts, designed to be listened to in one immersive go. Although only a pair of tracks  ˜Free Migration™ and ˜Highrise™  approach the idiosyncratic lumpen danceability of ˜Holkham Drones™, it is thanks to Luke™s perfectly judged elegant transitional dynamics that neither piece feels out of place amongst the album™s more mellow moments.
