A dreamy and exquisite pop album that shines with songwriting and arrangements that are simply breathtaking! A masterpiece that is different from The High Llamas, yet is unmistakably Sean O'Hagan! 'Raydam Calls, Raydam Calls' is Sean O'Hagan's second solo album. His first was released in 1990, aptly titled 'High Llamas'. It is clear that it is not easy to know what the future holds. In nearly 30 years, The High Llamas have delivered 10 to 12 exceptionally fun albums (if you count compilations and remix albums?) filled with their superb songwriting and attention to sound, but this time it is Sean's second solo album. Over the past decade, The High Llamas have released two albums. In the meantime, Sean has arranged and produced for artists such as Mount Kimbie, The Flyers, James Righton of Klaxons, and Hockney. The mix for "Raydam Calls, Raydam Calls" reflects the influence of this new generation, coexisting with his long-standing traditions. "Raydam Calls, Raydam Calls" also marks a reunion with Sean's vocal partner from his MicroDisney days, Kahal Koghlan. It's been 30 years since they first collaborated! Kahal's voice lends a dreamy brilliance to Sean's new musical concept.
