Created by “bedroom genius” James Chapman, the album is an other-worldly gem that’s by turns laidback and bewitching, yet commercial enough to appeal to mainstream pop culture.

Chapman's marvellous hooks and his infectious mantras make this terrific debut more resplendent with each listen.

Woozy pop songs such as You Don’t Know Her Name and Elouise are as light as Chapman gets, while the catchy current single, It Will Find You, and the fragile Don’t Fear are the two standout tracks. Eventually the insistent tick-tick of a programmed hi-hat cymbal proves distracting, but Chapman’s skill as a songwriter and arranger is undeniable.

The warm, hopeful, infectious sounds of We Can Create - the sort of sound that a loved up Kevin Shields might aspire to - might make a cult hero out of James Chapman yet.

Don't expect instant gratification through a single killer hook here. It's a disc in which to immerse yourself and, dare I say, one of which the founding fathers of basic electronic production would have been proud.

The album-- which includes both "To the Sky" and "Lost My Soul"-- contains no real duds, and almost any song on it would make a fine single.
