Awake but always dreaming

"Produced with Magnetic North sidekick Erland Cooper, Awake But Always Dreaming is a rich, detailed and beautifully rendered collection of songs that blend dramatics and atmospherics with elegant skill. Be it the manner in which the orchestral swoon of Octavia tingles and captivates or the sepia-toned outlines of the title track and Conversations, Peel plots a beguiling course throughout. She coaxes and teases ideas about how our minds deal with and measure perspectives".

"The empathetic Miss Peel has created a textural collection of pure pop, delicate chamber pieces and analogue electronics that should by rights position her as one of our foremost emergent female voices. She brings to mind anyone from Kate Bush to Little Boots at different points, her time with John Foxx and OMD also rubbing off on pieces such as strong opening single All That Matters. The production delivers vocals that ride high over crystal-clear instrumentation, while still sounding blushingly intimate".
