With IN HER REFLECTION the Australian-born artist steps into a new chapter. Formerly releasing music under the moniker Barking, the Berlin-based producer now presents his most personal work to date under his full name, marking both an artistic and emotional shift. It’s his first release on our long-running Dresden-based label Uncanny Valley, which is venturing into uncharted territory with this release.

The album signals a clear move away from the analogue-synthesis foundations of his earlier output towards a more fragmentary, collage-like approach. Samples drawn from obscure jazz and Greek folk records intertwine with everyday field recordings, framed by jungle rhythms and ambient drift but also post punk-informed basslines, wave and jazz structures. The result is music that feels intimate yet open-ended, rooted in club culture while quietly pulling away from it.

Written over the past one to two years, IN HER REFLECTION mirrors a period of profound change in Psaltis’ life. Navigating the isolation and uncertainty of living in Berlin, the process was shaped by his wife’s pregnancy and the birth of his first daughter, experiences that brought new forms of connection, grounding and belonging. These themes surface most clearly on the title track, which also marks the first appearance of Psaltis’ own vocals, reflecting on transformation, vulnerability and closeness.

✍️ Written and produced by Gareth Psaltis in the little room. Guitar on Track 1 from Billy K.

🎨 The eight tracks form a coherently sounding album that is best visualised by the unique artwork by our very own Carl-Johannes Schulze aka @carl_suspect

🔥 Don’t call it a comeback, but we are back soon with a new release by our new friend Gareth Psaltis aka @barking______

Balancing introspection with rhythmic precision, IN HER REFLECTION is not a reinvention but a refinement, an album that embraces subtlety, memory and emotional resonance and positions Gareth Psaltis firmly within Uncanny Valley’s distinctive catalogue.

Berlin and Bruneck with Melanie and Zoe.

I’ve been quiet lately as Zoe joined the party 11 months ago.

But I have a new album coming very soon via @uncannyvalley.de - and probably some live shows to support it.

I have a new remix of Sentient’s ‘Field of Vision’ out on XCPT.
To add my spin, I used field recordings of crickets I made in Sydney’s Northern Beaches - where I grew up - when I was visiting a couple of Christmases ago. They are so loud and musical that I’ve always wanted to work with the sound.
I also added some modular synth drones and arpeggios, effected samples of Alna speaking, and bass guitar - processed heavily through the Lyra-8 and other pedals. Big thanks to Philip and Philipp for lending the bass and Lyra.
Hope you enjoy my slightly psychedelic, nostalgic take on Sentient’s track.
