Hole Dweller – Flies The Coop (2019)

November 10, 2021

One of the most revered dungeon synth releases of recent times and with good reason. There is something magical about these lo-fi recordings; a wonderful sense of adventure as it were, along with heaps of character. This has recently been re-recorded, so I’m interested to see why, as this release isn’t that old, nor can I find any fault with it.

I’ve been putting this off since Feb 2020 (lol) but the recent rerecording of some Hole Dweller stuff had me going back to this. Truly one of the better dungeon synth artists of recent times, and Flies The Coop is a wobbly, shaky analogue journey (or at least has been purposefully styled to sound like that). It’s a journey I recommend you take, if you are a fan of synthesizer music.
