🌙 4AM Silence – Core Lo-Fi for Quiet Minds

4AM Silence captures that fragile moment when the world is asleep and thoughts finally slow down. 🌌✨ Built around hushed drums, warm vinyl textures, soft keys, and distant atmospheres, this release leans into a deeply calming, reflective lo-fi core sound.

Produced by Lo-Fi OldBoy and Nexus, the album feels intimate and unhurried—perfect for late-night listening, reading, studying, or simply sitting with your thoughts as the city fades into silence. 🕯️🌙 Each track breathes, leaving space for emotion, memory, and rest.

Pre-order 'Riderstorm' and listen to the first single "Dance the Spell Off": https://muteforest.bandcamp.com/album/riderstorm

Kael Smith's new album, 'Riderstorm.' You may know Smith under his moniker, Mute Forest. Over a year ago, Smith began recording a new album at the well-respected studio Russian Recording in Indiana. It was quite the endeavor, involving a ton of help financially, emotionally, and talent-wise to bring 'Riderstorm' to fruition.

Thankfully, Smith asked us to help with the release of this very personal album, and preparing it for vinyl, CD and digital.  Many of you may not know, but tragedy befell Smith (aka Mombi) in 2017 when his father died from alcohol abuse. Smith mentions, “There was a very long stretch after my dad died that I didn’t play music, my love for it was gone. This has been the most difficult record of my life to make... or at least to get started." 

Around the time we listened to the demo recordings for 'Riderstorm' here at LTS headquarters the news of Mark Hollis' passing had just arrived. Sadden by this, we’d been doing a deep dive into some of the early post-rock groups that made us fall in love with Hollis’ music, like Talk Talk and Bark Psychosis. Pressing play on Smith’s new album as cliché as this might sound, it felt right at home with quietly triumphant nature of these early pioneers.  We know now from talking with Smith that this was unintentional, but there is a strong vibe within ‘Riderstorm’ that recalls this era. It rides between the patient strumming and the more spontaneous bombastic movements, paired with Smith’s bare-all vocals and his keen sense to let the music breath through long instrumental passages.

'Riderstorm' (out April 3rd, 2020) is available to pre-order in two physical formats and digitally. The CD arrives in a Japanese-style gatefold jacket featuring full color artwork by Berlin-based visual artist, Gundula Blumi. The album was also pressed to 150gm vinyl using the lacquer cut method by the high quality plant Gottagroove in Ohio, USA. The vinyl comes housed in a beautifully textured, 350g reverse print jacket, with an interior anti-static black poly-sleeve, and lyrics and credits insert. The CD edition is limited to 100, while the vinyl edition is limited to 150 editions.

Dance the Spell Off

Mute Forest - Dance the Spell Off (from Riderstorm)

The title DeeDee is a clue to the approach behind it’s creation and the whole track is a larger hint for what’s in store on the EP. D and E are the pitches around which the track is built, but these notes are also taken from an earlier release and this is the theme of the track and the EP. It is all made from bits and pieces of Leah’s previous releases that have been reconstituted and repurposed to create new music (A copyright lawyers nightmare). The single also has birds as a theme at it’s heart which is evident from the video for DeeDee which breaks up flocks and murmurations of birds into patterns which mesmerise and at times resemble Rorschach tests.

DeeDee is out on 11th Feb with the full EP 'Bird Rib' out on 19th March.
