'Somewhere Nearby' is the first of three scheduled releases from Mac Dunlop and Off Record in 2021.

Here's what some reviewers and broadcasters have had to say about Somewhere nearby, and Mac's music in general:

"...experimental effects are interwoven with the piano's sustained sequences. Spontaneously, the flight of albatrosses or a flock of petrels using thermals to glide over the ocean for days came to this reviewer's mind as he listened."

 Ferdinand Dupuis-Panther

"It's the diversity here which makes this arguably Dunlop's most intriguing album to date."

Darren Rea
Classical Music Review

"It's like narrative without words"

 Sarah Gosling, 

BBC Radio 6

“I love it – so fragmented and just kind of dream like – snapshots of sounds and motifs going round like some kind of slightly unhinged music box.”

Elizabeth Alker, 

The Unclassified Show, BBC Radio 3

"Mac's compositional style is interpreted by some as 'transgressive' because it can drift between classical, jazz, ambient - even experimental improvisation. I would add that there is a romanticism too, a meditative convergence of minimalist rhythmic and melodic trajectories."

Dom Calpon,
saxophonist/arranger

Mac is based in Cornwall UK, where he composes and records at the Blauhaus Falmouth Studio.
