*Limited edition of 100 copies* Finally! The crucial 2021 album by Middlesbrough's Oli Heffernan gets the double vinyl treatment it always deserved. Originally released as a cassette on Cruel Nature Records and gone way too fast, Autodidact II is one of the great documents of UK experimental music from this decade - a sprawling, fog-drenched journey through psychogeography, North Yorkshire folklore and sonic territories that shift under your feet.

Recorded during three separate sessions in July and August 2021 - including remote improvisations with Christian Alderson from Unit Ama/Archipelago - this is Heffernan at his most restless and searching. 15 tracks. Over an hour of music. Spatial drones that recall Spaceman 3 at their most narcotic. Acoustic jazz interludes. Psych-damaged explorations that sound like Sunn O))) having a backyard scrap with Grails!bSix Organs devotees, Alice Coltrane worshippers, acid-damaged Faust lovers - this one is for you. Essential listening for anyone following the ever-expanding Ivan The Tolerable universe. Heffernan is one of those lifers who makes music simply because he has to. Restless mind. Impatient spirit. CREATIVE MUSIC the way we need it!
