A run-through of FLEETING ADVENTURE is similar to the first visit to Venice: viewed soberly, it can’t possibly be great, the voice in the back of your head assures you, but it’s intoxicating after all. It’s hard to explain why. After all, how can one explain why a banjo-playing Australian made the most humble record of the year – and thus one of the best?

Andrew Tuttle fingerpicks his way through circular structures reminiscent of more folky post-rock approaches and lays down rich new-age ambient pads underneath. They are joined by guests who, like him, work at the interface between acoustic music and electronics and sometimes drizzle even more bittersweet valerian over this mixture with steel guitar or violin.
It’s hard to find because it’s pleasing and made for sedating Spotify playlists. Only Tuttle seems to be completely wumpe. He doesn’t do it to please, but because he likes it. And that’s like Venice the first time: beautiful – no matter what the voice in the back of your head says about it.
