★★★★ Secret Garden PLANET MU. CD/DL/LP

Having both lost parents to cancer, Planet Mu head Mike Paradinas and Hannah Davidson weave a path through shared grief with music that has profoundly meditative and restorative qualities. It’s characterised early on by the mournful techno of Loss, but personal progress can be heard later on Hulo, where frenetic, chirruping beats and an effervescent melody hint at brighter times.
