Treadwater Fury comes in a lathe cut record edition of just 40 copies. This album is a  hauntologically tinged and soundtrack-centric paean to family and small town England from British musician, Poppy H.

Leaning heavily into folk, ambient and modern classical, and retaining the same long production model, he used a smartphone to capture improv, compositions, and field recordings, and then mixed and mastered the album on the same device.

As explained by the artist himself...

"The album is, to a large degree, about family and the east end of London where I'm from. I feel guilt about having distanced myself from the people and places of my childhood. My mum was one of three sisters, their dad died when she was 17 (everyone called him Poppy - hence my pseudonym) - and I was very close to their mum/my nan who herself died relatively young. So, the record is about losing the first of my uncles on my mums side, and how it compelled me to evoke an imagined image of post-war London (when they were born) - and with it a darkness, melancholy but also a bittersweet nostalgia."

'Poppy H is a musician and producer from east London, now residing in the far east of England where he uses any spare moment to experiment with a variety of acoustic and electronic instruments, and field recordings. He makes and releases music like each day is his last.’

Tament is an exploration of sound as both memory and possibility-an attempt to blur the boundary between the concrete and the imagined, the heard and the felt. This album is born out of an ongoing curiosity: what kind of dialogue can exist between the raw, unfiltered audio of the everyday and the abstract sonic worlds we construct through synthesis and production?

At its core, Tament weaves together field recordings, modular synthesizers, and software-generated textures. The ambient recordings are drawn directly from the soundscapes that surround me: the footsteps echoing through familiar streets, fragments of passing conversations, distant traffic, the subtle rhythms of urban life. These are the sounds that often fade into the background, yet they form the soundtrack of my existence. By capturing them, manipulating them, and placing them in new contexts, I aimed to reframe the ordinary-to open a space where the habitual becomes mysterious, and the familiar is rendered strange.

This project is not about documentation or representation. Rather, it’s about translation. I wanted to create an alternate version of the spaces I move through-a kind of dream logic of place, where reality is stretched and reassembled into something more ambiguous, immersive, and open-ended. In doing so, Tament becomes a liminal zone, a place between places.

Just as important as the sound itself was the intention behind its structure-or rather, the lack of imposed structure. I deliberately avoided giving the tracks a fixed narrative or emotional direction. There are no clear themes or guiding concepts here. The music offers a frame, not a story. It is a space left intentionally undefined, allowing each listener to encounter it without expectation, to inhabit it on their own terms. In that sense, Tament is less an album and more a set of sonic invitations.

It is about listening closely, noticing what usually slips past us, and discovering new meaning in repetition, texture, and silence - Glinca
