Operating somewhere in the space between electronic and organic, Louise Gaffney weaves an intricately layered sound made lush and warm through a string of analog machines. A vocalist and pianist primarily - but with a broad palate of synthesis, sampling and acoustic instrumentation, she paints sonic landscapes and glides through them on emotional gusts of melody.

'There’s a feeling that emerges when something is almost gone: an anticipatory loss, a pre-emptive missing. It’s a sensation Louise Gaffney captures across the five tracks on Not Even Here, her debut solo work. Delicate synth motifs crumble as the production is ‘taped and re-taped’... The EP balances DIY ambience with an undeniable pop nous, its heart worn firmly on its sleeve. The title track will linger in your mind for days, conjuring a nostalgia for something not quite tangible. The remaining cuts curl out like smoke, calling you back like a diary entry you don’t remember writing'
