Daniel Avery's most ambitious and accomplished studio album to date, 'Ultra Truth', is out now on Phantasy + Mute.

'Ultra Truth' offers a very different listening experience to any of Avery’s previous records. It inhabits its own world of sound, a construct built in Avery’s Thames side studio with collaborative help from a host of friends: the production touch of Ghost Culture and Manni Dee, the vocals of HAAi, Jonnine Standish (HTRK), AK Paul and the voices of Marie Davidson, Kelly Lee Owens, Sherelle and James Massiah.

Taken from the album "Photisms", released on Kaer'Uiks

»C Mantle opens the floodgates on Photisms. / … shedding light; especially in the dark, on the exciting new Photisms with Kaer’Uiks. / It’s a whirlwind of creative and mechanical activity that flexes and deforms along the way. / We’re still baffled at C Mantle’s scope of audio work and utterly enjoying this one inside and out!«
(Pietro Da Sacco / Igloo Magazine)
