After successful releases on Black Orpheus and Oscillate Tracks, UK rising talent and Super Hexagon boss, J.Wiltshire returns to MUSAR for his debut album ‘Resa’, a pure listening experience of ambient soundscapes and forward-thinking sci-fi cuts, the second release in MUSAR's new limited Cassette Tape series, that focusing on producers edgy sides.

'Resa' finds Wiltshire sharing 11 sci-fi and futuristic ambient gems, blends melancholic movements with rich layers of harmonics, resulting in a sequence of slowly unfurling tracks that sounds brilliant first time around, but also reveal more intricate details once you've listened a few times. Listening through from start to finish, where it comes on like a genuine soundtrack to a melancholic, space film, it's an evocative musical journey that stirs the senses and toys with your emotions.

Opener 'Barefoot Pilgrim' is a welcoming hazy warm-up atmospheric piece, together with 'Lumb' and 'In The Position' reflects on how Wiltshire maps human calm and tranquillity onto the softer parts of the natural world, a place where everything sounds calm and peaceful, in his own words: "I was using music composition for a creative release but mainly as a tool for calming anxiety."

There are also intense ambient moments and post-IDM dreamscapes inside, such as - 'Dismantlers' and 'Denied', It is in turns icy, futuristic, introspective and blindingly picturesque.'Other Fruits Resplit' is a particularly standout highlighted track of a sharp and catchy vocalchop melody, while 'Same Thing Twice' and 'No Longer Concerning' are gorgeously melancholic.
