Safe In The Steep Cliffs' represents the tightest, most unique, most organic beats I've made in the last three years. This album has a new palette of sounds and samples from around the world, including more original recordings (guitar/violin/mandolin/banjo) and new guest artists including Japanese jazz musician Uyama Hiroto. It's ominous and overgrown, dense and ethereal. And epic. Always epic.

Just came out today. I know there are quite a few fans here so I thought I'd spread the news and get some talk going!
I've not had time for a proper sit-down listen yet, but I really do like what I've heard so far. His description of the album that I quoted above is spot on. There is a lot more variety here than in Soon It Will Be Cold Enough. It also feels more subdued, more subtle. Not sure yet if that's a good thing.
So far, the standout track for me is Old Devil. It has a bit of a twang to it, and reminds me in parts of music from the TV show Firefly. It's shiny!
