The long wait is finally over, Nest / Retold is officially out today. Pre-orders shipped yesterday and it's now possible to buy both MP3 and FLAC versions of the album via the release page. The album has already received a lot of high praise and I'm really grateful to everyone who's taken the time to review it, blog about it and tweet about it.
Press for Retold:
* Boomkat album of the week // "a masterpiece within its field"
* Norman Records album of the week // "beautifully stormy, grand & strangely bleak"
* Fluid Radio album of the week // "the album is superb and comes highly recommended"
* Tokafi // "[Roberts and Totland] have actually managed to increase the magic of the past"
* Textura // "A web-like drift of rich instrumental sound"

throughout the years, wandering between luring sounds of type, miasmah, hefty, erased and others, i think i finally found what i was searching for..
ok it might sound a bit exaggerated, but i just wanted to share my enthusiasm with SERE001, and what a debut it is, i was hoping that first Nest would get well deserved attention
in anyway, keep the talent flow mr. Huw, we need it :)

Sorry I haven't ordered this, Huw. My life's been somewhat crazy over the past few months. I'll be buying Nest and pre-ordering the Olan Mill album next week, when I get paid.

I haven't commented on this one yet. I found Nest on Last.fm while browsing my free recommendations a couple years ago. There was not much information about them there; only a small collection of tracks. Later I would discover that this was a stripped-down version of the current Retold release up for listening for the longest time and I used to listen all of the time to that album from its page, which I had bookmarked. I was so affected by the moods created by pieces such as the phenomenal Kyoto... even at a lower quality version. It did not matter. The pieces were unbelievably infectious and it quickly became a favourite over that year. Then not so long ago, to my wonderful surprise, the album was re-released with a couple more tracks and a revision and I bought it the day of release in digital format from Boomkat. I had to have it. Now I had the higher quality sounds in my head and I could hear immediately that this is something I must have on my bookshelf to refer to for many years to come. I've recently ordered the CD and I know it will have a special place on our shelf for many winters. This is coming from a person who is extremely picky about ordering compact discs these days. Congratulations on a most infectious work of immense depth and longing which I cannot describe in mortal words. Beautiful and timeless.

Thank you Jason and everyone else I haven't thanked personally for your kind words on this release. It means a lot to Otto and myself that it's been so well received. Hopefully we'll have more music to share with you soon!
