Following her 2020 “mini album” \u003cem\u003eThis Is Not A Democracy\u003c\/em\u003e, Kester was lauded for her stirring blend of chamber pop and psychedelia for her debut album \u003cem\u003eHoneycomb Shades\u003c\/em\u003e (2023) which was named Dutch album of the year by newspapers NRC and de Volkskrant and nominated for the best Dutch album by 3voor12.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, Kester returns with second album \u003cem\u003eDark Sky Reserve\u003c\/em\u003e via Memphis Industries; a soundtrack to all the thoughts that bubble to the surface once the silence sinks in. \u003cem\u003eDark Sky Reserve\u003c\/em\u003e is Kester’s most artistically focused record to date, combining a rich, layered humanity in the music with minimalist lyricism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the help of producer Ali Chant and a variety of other collaborators including Adrian Utley (Portishead) and Rozi Plain, Kester balances scenes of idyllic bliss from the “magical and strange” ‘Talybont-on-Usk’ with existential questions on ‘Departure’. Written in the nights of recording sessions in Bristol, \u003cem\u003eDark Sky Reserve\u003c\/em\u003e is the result of Kester writing from a place of newfound clarity: “I could see myself for who I am.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Memphis Industries","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56048598614399,"sku":"MI0819LPX","price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0286\/2825\/4773\/files\/Robin-Kester-Dark-Sky-Reserve.webp?v=1757777514","url":"https:\/\/vinilo.co.uk\/products\/robin-kester-dark-sky-reserve","provider":"Vinilo Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
