about

In 1997 staff at Europa Pools in Birkenhead were at the centre of a major police investigation following the unexplained death of Kelly O'Connor. Kelly attended a regional swimming gala earlier that day and was found dead in the changing area the following morning. Although the coroner's report stated it appeared that Kelly had died from drowning, the location of the body and a lack of eyewitness and forensic evidence at the time of death resulted in the coroner's office returning an open verdict.

"It starts off airy and light, albeit quite maudlin, before getting noisy and squawky, distorted squabbles over undanceable steady beats. It then alternates between elegiac and muted, before finally coming to a close with a chilling interpretation of Kylie Minogue's 'Better The Devil You Know'. The reverb on this rework sounds like a tape being chewed up and played over the horrible tannoy of an indoor swimming pool. Nightmarish indeed."

- Bandcloud #247

"The beginning and end to this record sound like very weird vaporwave, and the middle portion of the album really goes out there. I enjoyed this record a lot and found it listening to it to be very much like the experience of listening to an instrumental soundtrack... this is an album meant to be listened to all the way through. I also have to add that it’s a very strange album to listen to before 7AM. Recommended for any fan of experimental music."

- I Heart Noise
