Take a seat for the third Insights mix, aimed at bringing the artist profile to the fore, diving into the sounds that both influence and comprise their own.

In a time of lean-back playlist listening, it's important to give due attention and credit to the composers, musicians and producers that make up our vast musical world. This series hopes to not only showcase music favoured by the artist, but also help connect the dots between their sound and that of the musical network that surrounds them.

No better can you hear the depth of Still Harbours' emotive influence in these pieces. We start with the calm and hypnotic selections from Brad (anthéne), before sliding into Jones' (Fossil Hunting Collective) more inquisitive and emotive picks. If there were any way to get to know the duo's inner workings, it'd be this.

2020 plays out to the sound of "Ghost Sounds" by Polaroid Notes, who returns to the British label Whitelabrecs following 2017’s ‘Unsung Memories’.

"Ghost Sounds" treads the cinematic lines of atmospheric piano and electronic ambient music, with unsettling undercurrents which occasionally creep into view. It has been in production since November 2019 as the sound of Polaroid Notes was pushed to develop a wider variety. The recording methods, effects and techniques were painstakingly adapted through experimentation and some truly spooky moments were captured. From here, "Ghost Sounds" became an obvious working title for the album.

The basic approach behind Polaroid Notes album is an attempt to deal with our weird and uncertain times in politics, health, social separation, isolation and cocooning. "Ghost Sounds" tries to capture this strange atmosphere - somewhere between deep despair, silent hope and the wish to wake up from restless and unfullfillable dreams.

The album artwork features photographs by Polaroid Notes shot during heavy snowfall in the first few winter days of 2020 in the Black Forest.

Tracklist:
1. Remember How It Is To Float / 2. We Burn Like Stars / 3. Ghost Sounds / 4. Mute Signals / 5. Beyond The Dark / 6. Silent Dreams / 7. Stellar / 8. When The Moon Dies Again / 9. Night Tunes / 10. Drifting Slowly Towards Infinity / 11. And Morning Comes
