On a musical quest for balancing professional skill with impulse and feeling, Jacob Funch investigates dark depths within something very smooth, meditative and sunny. He seems to possess the rare ability of striking minor chords with a smile on his face. An almost disturbing calm bliss permeates his symphonic ambience, leaving a door open for the listener to dress up as a drunken captain looking for magic wands and mushrooms. In his lo-fi bedroom study, Funch uses cheap synths to create gothic pop structures, resulting in some of this music sounding like Robert Smith composing 'Disintegration' for a Nintendo game. With an almost naive balearic playfulness, romantic themes circle round like birds in Himalayas of sound - suddenly battling with knights in dark medieval valleys, only to return to the sky with wings fully loaded of jazzy pineapples.
