The eleventh album from the prolific Martin Jenkins under the Pye Corner Audio monicker, it sees a departure from Ghost Box – a label that many would have considered his spiritual home – shifting across to Sonic Cathedral. Following the eerie atmospheres of 2021’s Entangled Routes, Let’s Emerge! welcomes special guest guitarist Andy Bell of Ride for several tracks, with the overall sonic atmosphere reaching new heights of bucolic lushness.

From the first glimpse of the artwork to the first note of the music it’s a marked deviation from Pye Corner Audio’s more traditional shadowy sounds. Whereas his last outing for Ghost Box (2021’s ‘Entangled Routes’) was inspired by the underground fungal pathways through which plants communicate, this one is very much above ground, bathed in sunlight and acid-bright psychedelia.
