Double LP version. Dark Sky represent progression. The London duo have never settled for a specific sound nor dwelled in a single niche too long. What's striking about all their releases is their passionate love for all kinds of electronic music, not exclusively dancefloor related. This is no different with Othona, the second album from Dark Sky on Monkeytown. Across nine tracks, Matt Benyayer and Tom Edwards manage to reinvent themselves once more by merging contemporary techno, classic electronica, and their roots in British bass music into a touching and thrilling whole. With releases on Black Acre, 50Weapons, Tectonic, and Mister Saturday Night, Dark Sky have proved their versatility. There's the vibrant deep house of In Brackets (2013), the colorful two-step and breakbeat excursions on Black Rainbows (ACRE 033EP, 2012) and the vocal-laden melancholia of imagin (MONKEY 048CD/LP, 2014). Othona picks up on the sound of their 2014 debut and tweaks it just in the right spots. Matt and Tom left vocals off altogether and left the intriguing melodies, shape-shifting rhythms, and heavy bass do all the dramatic work. A large part of Othona is the result of Dark Sky's touring experience. Years of putting together their live sets encouraged them to focus on hardware instruments and samplers, preferring a more hands-on approach to computer screens. The album is also heavily inspired by photos and field recordings they took of isolated structures within different landscapes. One particular location which caught their attention was Bradwell-on-Sea in Essex, which is based on an ancient Roman fort called Othona. Othona is always challenging and never takes the easy route, but it's tracks constantly reveal the purest form of beauty. The title track opens the album and gently introduces it's musical range with emotive pads, elaborate beat programming, and subtle club signifiers, which steadily develops into the epic mid-tempo trance of "Domes". The slightly nostalgic synth melodies and cute bleeps of "Badd" bring to mind classic Aphex, which is never a bad thing, while "The Walker" channels ubiquitous melancholy into a standout moment of euphoria. Dark Sky are never short of emotional elements, but they know very well where to put them. Just listen to closing track "Field Tower", giving the kick drum it's final overwhelming appearance - no doubt that this is going to be a highlight in their new live set.

Good looking, sturdy & great value
Color: Gravel Black
This looks great on top of our Black Quartz sink (which is top mounted so fits well). Very sturdy and easy to clean. I recommend this.

The ceramic feel
Color: Gravel Black, Color: Gravel Black
This item has a sturdy feel to it. The texture and weight is giving a ceramic feel. This piece has an elegant matte finish, screams modern solids. The pump is a bit meh but works well. All together a very fine piece of decor. Recommend with high marks.

Simple, Durable, and Efficient
Color: Gravel Black
I needed a soap holder for my kitchen sink and I was looking for something modern and small. The Shinowa Soap Dispenser with Sponge seemed good.
It's small but holds a lot of soap. The black color is nice. The pump dispenses soap well. It has a compartment for a sponge, as well, though I never used it.
The bottom has rubber feet to stop it from sliding o — bigger or more grippy pads would make it more stable, though not everyone would have that much space on their sink.
The pump works well and doesn’t need a lot of pressure. The wide opening makes it easy to fill and clean.
One thing I didn't like personally — the holder doesn’t have a way to drain water. Sometimes I need to take out the water that collects in it. But it’s not a big problem.
Overall, the Shinowa Dish Soap Dispenser is good. It keeps my kitchen tidy and makes it easier to use. It’s a good product that I would recommend to others.

Bathroom
Color: Gravel Black
