Luke Younger returns to PAN with an eight-track album of his most direct work to date. Composed alone at NO studio in the Essex countryside, to start an album with a piece called "Capital Crisis (New City Loop)" seems an intentional misnomer. Long, sustained periods in the rural studio setting see Younger working with an array of fragmented, disassociated sound sources to build upon 2015's Olympic Mess (PAN 063CD/LP). It shares a similarly inclined vision of the urban environment, but here Chemical Flowers makes reference to paradoxical notions of authenticity and creative practice by way of questioning the structures around us. Collages are assembled and dismantled, temporal and spatial boundaries fluctuate and movement is an overarching theme. Surrealist drowned world atmospheres sculpted far enough away from the source of inspiration leave plenty of room for ambiguity. The nocturnal nature of the recording process is self-evident, and pieces like "Leave Them All Behind" tap into a deep psychedelic undercurrent. Confused narratives, emotions and aleatory hallucinations ebb and flow throughout. "I Knew You Would Respond" evokes murky soundtrack terrain with eerie repetitive strings and ambient respite, disrupted periodically by brief bursts of granular noise. It's one of the records most unnerving moments, possibly as it's one of the most recognizably human. The album navigates dense passages with recurring signifiers. Hollow percussion, modulating delay and curious field recordings come and go, maintaining a perpetual state of flux where nothing stays the same for long. The drowned world theatricals return on the swamp-like "Lizard In Fear" whilst string rhythms creep in on the penultimate track to incite momentary electroacoustic harmony. Floating synthesis slowly washes over and the title track unfolds - five minutes of reverb-laced portamento, visions of decay, and Editions EG influenced world-building. Movement is key. Chemical Flowers features string parts arranged and recorded by JG Thirlwell (Foetus, Manorexia, Xordox). Additional cello played by Lucinda Chua and saxophone by Karl D'Silva. Features artwork by Johannes Schnatmann and Bill Kouligas. Mastered by Rashad Becker.

Cute but not totally practical
Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Navy
These are cute and decent quality but they are so short they aren’t practical if you live where there is snow. Deep snow just ends up in the boot. Great for cold but no snow or slightly wet and muddy days.

They’re good but they don’t last
Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Navy, Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Navy
Got them for my 5yo. They were not overly abused, but they got a big hold two-three months in. They’re unusable and I’m sad about the surprisingly poor quality for these boots.

A solid, wide shoe
Size: 10 Toddler, Color: Navy
We struggle with finding wide shoes for my kids and Stride Rite is one I usually find myself coming back to. The price point is high but they are a good shoe. They are durable and long lasting. They were very comfortable. My son wore these for months until he grew out of them and we are saving them for the next kid. Highly recommend.
