False Walls releases a solo album from Glasgow-born and London-based guitarist Kevin Daniel Cahill. Consisting of two long tracks, the album traces a steady progression as it moves through different environments — initially ambient and isolationist in tone, the work ultimately reaches a form of transcendence. Rooted in Kevin’s guitar-playing, though not immediately identifiable as such due to the deployment of tape loops and effects, the album foregrounds feeling and atmosphere, and its duration and gradual development benefits close listening. 

The CD packaging includes work by visual artist Brian McHenry and writer Simon Longman across a 6-panel gatefold sleeve, 8 page CD booklet and CD sleeve. Brian and Simon’s work was developed in response to Kevin’s album, and similarly evokes connections with people, place, landscape and memory.

“The long [33 minute] first piece is astonishing, a mostly timeless drift with an almost non-existent pulse underpinning it, an ebb and flow of echo and sustain. … Trails of notes spiral and fade across an emptiness that is full of overtones and expiring sound. … simply stunning.” - International Times 

“Timeless tonal landscapes create an environment ripe for deep listening on this solo album from Glasgow guitarist Kevin Daniel Cahill. … The two long pieces – ‘Caoineadh’ and ‘Impossible Worlds’ – are equally beautiful, though the title track deserves singling out for Cahill’s ability to chart a drawn-out path that’s both melancholy and transcendent.” - Electronic Sound
