Remarkably focused and mature, it's eclectic mixture of real strings, treated piano and all manner of electronic keyboards create a surprisingly coherent and comfortable musical vision. Home/Hidden continues Charlie's association with Sean O'Hagan and Dominic Murcott of the High Llamas (string arrangements and vibraphone respectively) and also features the talents of Andy Ramsay of Stereolab on drums, Jo Apps on vocals and Gabriel from Metronomy playing bass guitar.
After two acclaimed EPs, one of which led David Bowie to comment, "it's a beautiful glockenspiel and string-led instrumental that gently comes and goes in under three minutes. Delightful," Charlie is now ready to unfurl his musical banner and let the world know that it's okay to love melody, it's okay to relax, to fall in love, to feel good about yourself.
Like a soft collision between Aphex Twin at his most melodic, Nick Drake at his string-soaked finest, or some hybrid of Steve Reich and Syd Barrett scoring a Tim Burton movie, the music of Charlie March has a lingering, delicate beauty that will be around for a long time.
It can be a grim world full of terror and horror but although sometimes hidden, there is always a place deep within that you can call home and where the golden light of love shines on.
