BatWhaleDragon is a lovely, atmospheric electronic project that impressed with the album Zoa Constrictor earlier this year. Now, BatWhaleDragon – the project of Kevin Focke – has another album out, the excellent Fount Everspring. Spanning 23 minutes and seven tracks, Fount Everspring is chock full of atmospheric goodness. “Landing At Arbory Harbour” is among the highlights, a track that builds gorgeously from quaint piano-laden pleasantries to buzzing synth-pop with infectious rhythms. It’s fondly reminiscent of Yellow Magic Orchestra, so it’s no surprise the track was inspired by Japanese synth-pop. Beyond this track, the album is full of quality efforts, with “The Meandering Mellow” and “High Spirits” among them.
