'Microvictories' offers a glimpse into the restlessly creative head of London-based musician Michael Anthony Wright.
To say that this album defies categorisation is to put it mildly – from the blissful summer-sky guitars and almost-pop of Conveyor Belt (On The Way In), to the dense percussive meltdown of Flams via the murky and hypnotic atmospherics of The First Education (September 1985) and on to the frenzied bass and pulsating electronics of Welcome (A Piss In The River), Brassica leads you through a richly diverse sonic landscape.

Though drawing from a wide range of genres, Microvictories retains a deeply immersive focus of style and texture that is gleeful in the surprises it offers up. Featuring a plethora of instruments and musical approaches – both electronic and analogue – alongside often astonishing production, this debut collection of ‘small electronic pop songs’ from Brassica demands repeated listens
