8th track off of "1979", released on digital, vinyl, and handheld projector on Friends of Friends Records.

I figured I'd use this track as an opportunity to talk about some of the production on "1979". As some of you have been asking, I bounced all of the songs on the album straight to cassette tape. I bought an old Marantz portable tape deck on eBay and the songs went straight out of the computer onto the deck, fully mixed. The tape recorder is kinda fucked up and has a really pronounced pitch warble that I love. It gives everything a very distinct character. Throughout the years I've become less careful with my mixes. I don't think I would've ever done this when I was first making music and was obsessed with clarity or whatever, but now that I've been doing it a while I'm much more into interesting mixes... Mixes with character. 

This song in particular almost didn't make it onto the record. It's the only song with a beat on the album, and I wasn't sure that it fit because of it. But after playing the album to a few friends some of them said that it was their favorite, and that it provided a nice contrast to the rest of the songs. It's hard to gauge these things while working on the music sometimes as you're too close to it. But I'm glad I was convinced. Ambient music is just music after all.

PS: The SoundCloud player really does some heinous shit to the tape noise in this one. Listen to a real copy if you can sometime.

...........

One breath spanning a thousand years
Took the eremite's boat
To raise his cell upon the rock

To where star-spread crossings mirror tracks
Woven to a moorland shrine

And where the stars change places with the falling snow:
A net of light to sail his Earth by.

"A hunter went into the woods to hunt on a spring night, but as he was out somewhat too early, he built a small fire to keep himself warm. Suddenly, a terrible noise sounded through the forest. The hunter could however not see one living thing around him. The noise continued all throughout the night, until dawn. When the hunter decided to head home, he saw some game, and aimed his gun. He pressed the trigger, but see! The trigger was as if bolted down."

Dustcraft - Fathoms

Penguin Cafe's critically acclaimed second studio album, released 17th February 2014. 
The Red Book is the culmination of two years work that has seen Penguin Cafe investigate whole new areas of sound and vibrancy, making full use of the eclectic collection of musicians and characters, marking an ambitious extension from their debut ‘A Matter of Life’ (2011).

The catalyst for the new recording came about when Jeffes worked on a project with the International Space Orchestra and NASA Ames in 2012, out of which came the pieces Aurora and 1420, which have since been beamed into space as part of NASA’s Kepler project. These touchstones marked a satellitic beginning for a new album, a collection of songs that return to earth to undertake a rich, cross-continental, musical journey.
