“A hugely involving, weirdly moving experience: over the course of its 43 minutes, it feels variously blissful, soothing, profoundly creepy, uplifting and cathartic.”
The Guardian – Album of the Week ****
“Radically beautiful music.”
Uncut 8/10
“A record that’s serene on the surface but with a dark undertow.”
MOJO ****
“Wholly absorbing. That you are compelled to stay listening is proof of this record’s eerie power.”

Love Streams, Tim Hecker’s latest album, is out now.
Love Streams was recorded throughout 2014 and 2015 at Greenhouse Studios in Reykjavik, Iceland – where parts of both previous albums Virgins andRavedeath, 1972 were tracked – with Hecker reuniting with the same crew of collaborators from Virgins (Ben Frost, Kara-Lis Coverdale, Grímur Helgason) and bolstered by the Icelandic Choir Ensemble, whose vocal arrangements were scored by Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson.
