** Housed in a reverse board jacket. Limited edition of 319 copies ** Oli Heffernan locked himself away and emerged with 10 chunks of lo-fi instrumental library-hop - the first solo Ivan The Tolerable album since Wild Nature back in 2019. No band. No collaborators. Just Heffernan alone with guitars, bass, synths, organs, drum machines, electric piano, mellotron and percussion. A restless mind doing what it does best.

Nocturnes is a sonic tapestry that weaves atmospheric library music with dusty hip-hop beats and the organic essence of field recordings. Intricate layers of samples, loops and live instrumentation combining elements of hip-hop, dub, jazz and electronic music - all while maintaining that unmistakable urban cinematic flair. This is music that breathes. Music that moves through shadows.

From "Confessionals" to "The Long Hills" - 10 tracks that defy easy categorization. Heffernan has spent years experimenting with various styles, instruments and production techniques, and here it all comes together in a format that allows each element space to exist. Written, recorded, mixed and mastered by the man himself. No compromise. Pure vision.
