"Keep It Close To Me” appears on Yoncalla, the debut album by Yumi Zouma.

Where Yumi Zouma’s previous EPs were created in isolation, capturing the nuances of each member’s life half a world away, Yoncalla was given a singular voice. “Yumi Zouma has always been an exercise in refining ideas and collaborating,” reflects guitarist Charlie Ryder, “but this was the first time we weren’t limited or protected by distance. With Yoncalla, the process was different, and it can be scary to present raw ideas to your friends ‐ but it’s also incredible to see songs evolve through the sparks of inspiration that bounce between people in the same room.” That intimacy is apparent on Yoncalla ‐ an album about being close to people, rather than miles apart. Yumi Zouma’s effortless waves of harmony have been redefined and the creative process laid bare to expose an act more unguarded and interconnected than ever before. 

To capture the concepts on Yoncalla, New Zealand visual artist Henrietta Harris was tapped to create the cover art, illustrating the band together on a front cover for the first time.

"It's just incredible" – Mary Anne Hobbs, BBC 6 Music
“Strangely upbeat nocturnes" – The Wire

‘Spells’ merges programmed piano pieces with live instruments, combining the controllable technical world and the often unpredictable aspects of live improvisation. In some ways it continues where his underground debut ‘Gravity’ left off, though a lot of weight is lifted, making room for a lighter and more energetic listen. Friend and fellow Erased Tapes artist Nils Frahm mixed and mastered both albums. Ben is not a master pianist like his dear friend, but his sound collages are so meticulously designed that after hearing the result an impressed Nils declared: “from now on, if anyone asks – this is a real piano”. 

His intricate, humanised programming – enhanced by drummer Achim Färber, cellist Anton Peisakhov and harpist Lara Somogyi, and a considerate selection of echoes, delays and compressors – has been used to create a hybrid sound that intends to deceive, question and challenge existing listening habits. Utilising the contrast between reduction and decoration, ‘Spells’ can be seen as a quest to find out how much or how little composition is required to constitute a song. Why the ear can and should be deceived about the authenticity of instruments. What significance these instruments have within this process, and why the personal perception of balance and sound exclude ultimate truths. 

Linking the two albums are the four movements of ‘Nocturne’, an ever-developing conversation that on occasion flirts with the grandeur of compressed rock drums. The first single, ‘Golden Times 1’, received a world premiere by BBC 6 Music’s Mary Anne Hobbs, proclaiming it as "incredible." An alternative version of ‘Sleepers Beat Theme’ – composed for the soundtrack to a short film about the Trans-Siberian Express – opened Jon Hopkins’ Late Night Tales album from 2015, who noted “I thought it was such a calming and sensitive piece that sounded to me like the beginning of something...the warmth and depth of the sound entrances me every time”. 

Though ‘Spells’ and ‘Gravity’ are his first albums recorded under his own name, as acclaimed electronic producer HECQ he’s released nine albums since 2003, exploring everything from ambient to breakcore. He has simultaneously established himself as a trusted composer and sound designer, working for a wide array of clients including Amnesty International and Marvel Comics; composing for feature films, games, art installations and convention opening titles.

After embracing this demanding line of work, in 2010 Ben felt the need to explore his roots and early education, which inspired these albums under his own name. Born in 1981 as the third child of opera singer Deirdre Boysen and actor Claus Boysen, his classical music training on piano and guitar began when he was seven years old; the works of Bruckner, Wagner and Bach laid an important foundation. Rediscovering this music shared with his parents – united with the sounds of Autechre, Cristian Vogel and Jiri.Ceiver to Pink Floyd and Godspeed You! Black Emperor – brought back an understanding of why he wanted to write music in the first place.

“Finding my views understood, reflected and welcomed by Erased Tapes was an encouraging experience, crowned by the offer to release ‘Spells’ and re-issue ‘Gravity’ with them. Through many caring conversations with Robert I felt that there’s no better home for the existing ideas and no better cradle for new ones.”  – Ben Lukas Boysen

The single, ‘Lied’ / ‘Decorate My Bones’
A Houndstooth release – 29th April 2016

For those already aware of the work of Snow Ghosts it will come as little surprise that their new single ‘Lied’ creeps into your ears and finds a dark corner from where it slowly spreads into your consciousness and refuses to budge. Shot through with the gothic drama that has been a hallmark of their work since their debut EP, this first instalment of a new approach from the band marks another staging post in the band’s transition from studio project to fully fledged, fully instrumentalised outfit.

For those new to Snow Ghosts, their music may be familiar to you without your knowledge. Having recently soundtracked the trailer to ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ and featured on a multitude of television shows including, most recently, ABC’s celebrated ‘How To Get Away With Murder’, Snow Ghosts are a band that are, quite literally, more present than you may imagine in the public mind. 

Their last track ‘Undertow’ for the Houndstooth compilation ‘Tessellations’ received acclaim from no less a supporter than NPR, handpicked by their staff for a 'Songs we Love' premiere, comparing them to the ‘British and fatalist’ sounds of New order.

The 2016 Snow Ghosts now combine the original core of Snow Ghosts; producer / instrumentalist Ross Tones, aka Throwing Snow, and singer / songwriter Hannah Cartwright, aka Augustus Ghost, with guitarist and violinist Oliver Knowles, sometime member of renowned math rock groups Meet Me In St Louis and Exes for studio work. With Alistair, Ross’ brother, stepping in on drums for live shows, Snow Ghosts continue to develop and enhance their approach.

From their inception, Snow Ghosts’ music existed in a meeting point between the dynamics of dance, rock and traditional songcraft, Ross and Hannah’s childhood and formative musical experiences being a massive influence on the way that their sound developed. For Ross, a childhood in the Dales of the North East soundtracked by the eclecticism of John Peel augmented by a move to the soundsystem culture capital that is Bristol created a love of music outside of genre, as a mover of mood, feeling and innovation. For Hannah, a childhood in Abu Dhabi, blending her parent’s late 60’s western rock with the sound of the muezzin from the nearby mosque, delivered a similarly diverse soundscape to a young ear. 

With the addition of Oliver for second album, ‘A Wrecking’, (a man with a soft spot for both the soundscapes of Mogwai and Godspeed and the full on attack of the Sub Pop and Dischord rosters), another layer of musical input was added.

The culmination of these influences and abilities is a music that transcends the labels that are so often attached to contemporary music. Whilst Drowned in Sound were undoubtedly onto something when they talked of electronica ‘assimilated into the worlds of ambient and folk music’ on ‘A Wrecking’, Snow Ghosts’ latest recordings have moved the goalposts once more, utilising all the talents at their disposal to create music that can incorporate the high drama and pure (original) gothic of ‘Lied’ and the plaintive, naked beauty of ‘Decorate My Bones’ in under ten minutes.

‘Lied’ / ‘Decorate My Bones’ is released by Houndstooth on 29th April.
