Animal Companionship

This is a vinyl LP pressing. Owen Ashworth has always delved into the human condition in his albums, and his latest work, Animal Companionship, is no different. Despite the name, it's deeply human. After the end of his electronic pop project Casiotone for the Painfully Alone in 2010 due to issues, Ashworth started Advance Base, releasing A Shut - In's Prayer in 2012 and Nephew In The Wild in 2015, along with numerous tapes and 7' EPs. The new album features spacious arrangements that showcase Ashworth's meditative songwriting. Blissful drones and rich synthesizer textures wrap around soft electric piano arpeggiations and sparse drum programming, creating a hypnotic backdrop for his lyrical stories. Animal Companionship is not just progress for Advance Base; it's the peak of Ashworth's two - decade - long musical journey. It's a gentle and endearing record that only Ashworth could craft.
