Hey there everyone! I hope you’re all having a grand ol’ time wandering around catching Pokemon – I know am – and, if by some miracle you’ve missed the phenomenon that is Pokemon Go: how on earth did you manage it?

There’s something so unusual about the composition and layering that Spectoral uses in his music. Opening number ‘Roots n’ Wings’ is slow, piano-driven to begin with before a slight tribal beat comes to the forefront and the synth becomes a driver for the track.
