The title draws from wild poppy and herb-robert growing across derelict Victorian filter beds, symbolising a landscape where biodiversity and ecological recovery sit uneasily with urbanisation and redevelopment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe album grew from sounds and natural objects gathered on walks from late winter to summer, across Walthamstow Wetlands, Hackney Marshes and the waterways around the Olympic Park. At Stockholm’s EMS, Bolton processed these recordings through a historic Buchla 200 modular synthesiser.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBack in the studio, he merged them with improvised piano, shruti box, tuned percussion, copper lampshade and Bass VI, played with found twigs and glass.
