In the Sun, the heat-soaked album from Bomb The Bass, is a slow-burning night-time record to tantalize the senses. Never ones to stand still, Tim Simenon and Paul Conboy hone their sound to nine dreamy, hypnotic songs that retain their urban edge, with strong rhythmic input from drummer Christian Eigner. "Time Falls Apart" and the single "Wandering Star" are prime examples; the former's woozy mood complemented by urgent brass stabs, the latter featuring a powerful and affirming vocal. The album's pulse beats strongly in "All Alone," where held background textures collide with quick percussion to give nervous energy, and the gritty, backs-to-the-wall approach of "We Are All Lost." "Where Better," meanwhile, charms with a warm-hearted and catchy chorus loop, the widescreen production especially rewarding on headphones. With In the Sun, Simenon and Conboy open another new door in the Bomb The Bass story, the equal of anything they've produced so far.

Electronic band project Ghost Capsules can trace their beginnings back to a Bomb The Bass gig in Vienna. Here it was that Tim Simenon, touring the Back to Light album, met his support band that featured drummer Roman Lugmayr and keyboard player Georg Lichtenauer. The three hit it off -- so much so that Tim relocated from Amsterdam to the Austrian capital. Here the missing piece for the Ghost Capsules jigsaw was found in singer Laura Gomez, who Tim had booked to play at one of his club nights. Proof positive that there's no business as sociable as the music business.
