Concept

Ghost Box Musics press release for From Out Here "hints at a Wyndham-esque science fiction story, where bucolic English scenery is being manipulated and maybe even artificially generated by bizarre multi-dimensional computer technology."[2]

Reception

Chicago Reader said From Out Here "exceeds all of my expectations—it's among the best work Brooks has ever done, and one of the finest albums of the year."[6] DJ Food called the album "[Cate Brooks'] best yet" and "my favourite though as it embodies everything I love about the [Ghost Box Music] label"[7] Pitchfork reviewed From Out Here with "[f]or a notionally darker work this album ends up being more enjoyable than some of [Cate Brooks'] prior records, mainly because the sense of exploration is heightened with each turn taken."[8]

The Quietus called From Out Here a "particularly satisfying and coherent listening experience" and "beautifully crafted voyage into electronic music's substrata."[9] Record Collector reviewed From Out Here with "Brooks, though, stands out by dint of a nimble melodic touch, compositional sophistication and a broader historical frame of references. This makes From Out Here both satisfying and hard to pin down."[10]
