Best known as a member of the excellent The Engineers Mark Peters combines post-rock, shoegaze and ambient music to beautiful effect.

His latest EP, The Magic Hour features reimagined versions of songs from last year’s Red Sunset Dreams and two new tracks, veering from ambient Americana to psychedelic electronics. Check Richard Norris’s amazing rework of Sundowning featuring Dot Allison’s vocals.

We asked Mark to set our Monday straight with an hour of the good stuff. “I set out to mirror the different stylistic elements on my latest e.p, ‘The Magic Hour’ It didn’t quite work out that way but I like it!”
