At the entrance, we are greeted by a watercolor depicting a seascape where our Robert is swimming, leaving his legs behind, “head” down, as if he wanted to leave that past of his aside to embark on a new journey.

Camberwell Now has a decidedly warmer and more melodic sound than This Heat; I find them also more homogeneous and melodic but not less original.
