THIS is the second beautiful CD from C D, Chris Duncan, the Glasgow one-man band, artist, composer and Royal Conservatoire of Scotland classical graduate with a penchant for Grangemouth's Cocteau Twins.

Last time, he wrote his debut in his bedroom, ending up with a Mercury nomination for Architect. For Midnight Sun, he's still working from home, a cocoon for ambient creativity away from the world's woes that sees him make the equivalent leap of Pet Sounds to Smile, albeit without the endless indecision of Beach Boy Brian Wilson.

Duncan has moved on from gorgeous pop tunes to gorgeous "soundscapes", songs of dreamy drift rather than conventional hooks. The mood is sometimes blissful, sometimes melancholic, often spiritual, offering a place for calming reflection and romantic escape, out of step with itchy, irritable, sour Brexit Britain.

This man may be an island, a perfectionist musical sculptor adding layer upon layer of harmony in his lair, but although he runs the risk of detachment, gradually he bathes you in his midnight sunshine.
