Chris Hyson is proud to present “Chaps”, the first single from his forthcoming EP ‘Cuddle Kitchen Vol.1’ due to be released on 6th of Dec 2019 on Pixel Music. 

New addition to Chris' growing collection of self-produced solo instrumental music, “Cuddle Kitchen Vol.1” is settled into the world of groovy instinctive rhythms, an evolution from his emotional and reflective landscapes trademark. The EP takes a trip to an imaginary land full of colours and shapes. Unpredictable and full of surprises, the music keeps the listener fully present and engaged. 

This is Chris’ half conscious decision to show a different side to his musical personality, after successfully establishing himself as a musician, writer and producer with a superb melancholic and emotive palette, be it 
with his band Snowpoet, his own solo productions, the work he’s recently been doing in the world of film composition or his involvement in writing, playing and producing the next Jordan Rakei (Ninja Tune) album. 

First single “Chaps” elevates Chris’ work far beyond mere aesthetic exercise, cementing jazz, ambient sound design, and groove into an absorbing listening experience.

Chaps

I have synesthesia. I like your music if it paints beautiful pictures in my mind.

...like a beat you'd hear emanating from a basement club in the 80s
-Decoder

we are citizens of the farwest, land beyond lands, where the sun sets and oceans end. beyond furthest horizons, beyond space explorations, beyond reasonable means and reasons for being. we are dreamers on an open frequency, broadly casted, highly rated microwaves in a macrocosm of possibilities.
