Using keyboards, electronic tones, minimal drums and cello sounds to create this ‘slow build’ of an instrumental, ‘Stickers On Keys’ makes me feel like I’m sinking underwater in slow-motion. Perhaps sounding more like score than song, no one matches Rebelski in his ability to paint a scene with sound.

“Rebelski combines the mystical fairytale rock of Mercury Rev, the sweeping, maudlin electronica of Four Tet and Damon Gough’s ear for winsome pop melodies. Bloody goodski, whatever his name is.” - NME
‘…tender, low key and twinkling. 4/5‘ - Uncut
