Label
Secretly Canadian
UK Release date

  1. 8.0 |   No Ripcord

    Your appreciation for Forget the Mantra will depend on whether you can stomach another neo-psychedelic lab work. The timing may not be right, but this is certainly cream of the crop material

  2. 8.0 |   Bowlegs

    By mixing borrowed ideas, Hartley has created a unique and highly personal piece of work. This album must be heard. But go to bed first

  3. 7.0 |   Under The Radar

    Stitched together from pieces of found sounds, aging cassettes, Gregorian chants, multi-layered chouses, Afro-rhythm sections, handclaps, and (most certainly) a few things that go bump in the night

  4. 7.0 |   Pitchfork

    Ponderous lapses aside, Nightlands' psychic terrain is still a nice place to visit, even if you wouldn't want to spend the whole night there
