stephen olivier I heard Constellation on WFMU and immediately responded to the nihilistic synth euphoria. Gorgeous and playful all the way through.

mothretra [artist] Picked up these tunes after hearing "Trick Machine" on FMFTRL! Richard Evans has a mellow yet creative sound, which is pleasing to the ear. Keep up the great work! Favorite track: Brave New World.

about

Sentinel is an electro-pop collection of eight original songs that mix analogue synths and sequences with melodic hooks and drum machine rhythms. The album tells a story - of humanity at a tipping point and a world trapped in a climate crisis.

Recorded during the COVID lockdowns, Sentinel is developed from an acclaimed multimedia live show originally developed with support from Arts Council England and Creative UK.
