Oppressed by the Line’s Kiku reviewed by Leonard’s Lair
In the first review of the new Oppressed by the Line, Leonard’s Lair had some kind words to say about the disc.
Fresh from last year’s well-received ‘Soft Focus’ album, Oppressed By The Line (or Jon Thompson to give him his real name) has wasted little time in releasing the follow-up as well as managing his own Drifting Falling label. For his latest venture, Thompson used an excursion to Japan as the inspiration for the songs. ‘Kiku’ is the result and it’s a nocturnal delight expressed via the medium of shoegaze and electronica.
