THINK LIKE A KEY MUSIC

A long way from misty-eyed nostalgia — this is Tim Goulding in full exploratory mode.

Best known for his work with Dr. Strangely Strange, Goulding here delivers something boldly different: a deeply personal album of folk, electronics, and global textures, recorded in isolation on Ireland's Beara Peninsula. Urgent, atmospheric, and often hypnotic, Midnight Fry moves effortlessly from the driving "On The Fly" to the expansive eight-minute journey of "O-Mané," with the quietly devastating "Father's Song" providing its emotional core. Hard to categorize then and even harder now.

One of the great overlooked solo albums of its era — finally back and long overdue.
