Master of the understatement, it-s a collection that has - in one form or other - been in process for many a year. On the album-s instrumental side, numbers like -Blackbird-, -Stains- and its title track quickly start pushing that club nature to the fore. Each in their own right forceful, dynamic & purposeful, their darker ethers and storm-approaching drums summon fantastical, not to mention dystopian imagery.

-Fusions- and the album-s spear-tip single -The Other Side- (of which DJ Mag said, in their 8/10 review, -bristled with provocation, emotion and front-) usher male voices onto the album. On the female vocal side meanwhile, MARiANNA strikes early with the brilliantly wrought and drama-seized -Infinite Loudness-. It is however the evocatively Nordic tones of Ylona that casts the most prominent of silhouettes across -We-ve Been Here Before-. Bringing voice and song to no less than 5 of its 13-strong contingent, she displays absolute range and flexibility. Whether its the quiet storm of -Each Other-, the 80s synthpop channelling -Machines Have Hearts-, neo-ballads like -Forever For A While- or the full-throated uplift of -Frozen Butterflies- & -Sand On My Skin-, her muse-like effect is always striking.

Each a portrait, together a gallery, Lowland has reconciled and arranged its works of audio art into a long-player that has both individual track distinction and lava-like flow. Galactic in scope and feel, -We-ve Been Here Before- is a late-summer/early autumn must-have for music lovers ready to leave the album status quo and ennui behind.
