February Montaine has been played over 10 times on NTS, first on 12 November 2019. February Montaine's music has been featured on 16 episodes.

February Montaine was a DIY artist from the Midlands, England who was active between the period of 1985 and 1991.

Fantasy Fiction Records came across these recordings through Sam Potter (previously of Late of The Pier) who has been working with February’s step-daughter Suzy, to document Montaine's unique take on the world.

What was left by February varies from well archived stems to scraps of ideas recorded straight to tape. In the last year these have been carefully digitised, and when possible mixing these most cherished possessions he left behind.

His work paints the picture of a reclusive and sensitive artist using music as a lens to observe and interact with the world around him. The music is functional and eclectic, using a broad palette of styles to enhance and change his moods.
