“a polished body of work, draped in modern electronics and textured synths.” - XLR8R

“an undulating piece of digital abstraction, forever in evolution but remarkably succinct … worth comparing to Jon Hopkins or James Holden” - Clash

“an impeccably layered slice of modern electronic music … It's intelligent. It's original. It's excellent.” - PopMatters

Following on from the ‘Rivals’ EP, ‘Control Yourself’ is a heady mix of analog synthesisers, live drums and expansive soundscapes creating a multi textured, layered journey through ambient, house, post rock and techno.

‘Control Yourself’ is an evolvement in concept, bringing together influence from Boards of Canada, Caribou, Tortoise, Four Tet, LCD Soundsystem and Aphex Twin. Speaking on the essence of the new project, Peter Ibbetson adds: “Control Yourself is a reaction to the idea of restricting yourself in creating music, forcing yourself to break away from your creative habits, and open your ears and head to new possibilities.”

Peter Ibbetson has cut his teeth already touring regularly as part of the live outfits for George Fitzgerald and Makeness, so it’s no surprise to see his original work emerging fully formed and thriving. With more live shows on the horizon 2019 looks promising.
