Press
“[Let Me Tell You Something] is a six-track album with compositions by Timothy Cape, Gregory Emfietzis, Lucy Landymore, Angus Lee, and Jasmin Kent Rodgman. […] Even though the composers have not met each other, their compositions bear a similar character; they are quiet, minimalist, serene. […] Recordings might not be the easiest format […], but […] the compositions are, despite moments of being lost in abstraction, strong enough to keep me listening and to make me listen again. And they leave an appetite wanting to see more of [Hui] live in action.“
