Multi-instrumentalist and producer Matthew Nowhere has just released the widescreen beauty of the album 'Crystal Heights': an ethereal collection of eighties-influenced shimmering synth pop that unfurls with a statuesque grace. it is incredible that this is a debut album. Opening track 'Transmission' is an atmospheric melange of sounds and a vocoded voice: a fittingly mysterious alien entry to the album with a heart beat pulse.

Multi-instrumentalist and producer Matthew Nowhere returns with another ethereal slice of eighties-influenced shimmering synth pop with the track 'Transforming', featuring another much loved outfit, Lunar Twin. It comes ahead of the announcement of an album 'Crystal Heights' set for 23 May 2025. The DNA of the track undeniably contains traces of eighties icons like Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Depeche Mode and even a hint of Kraftwerk, but this is not a pastiche or carbon copy: 'Transforming' has its own unique glitter and pose that is utterly enchanting and completely immersive.
