Bastian Benjamin's stunning remix is a richly structured reimagining of the original low-fi ambient piece, replete with hypnotic percussion and throbbing basslines.

Taken from last year's EP of album remixes, Diepenmaat Sallaerts deliver a slow burning and hypnotic take on the track At Dusk The Ocean Calls.

Natural Architecture moves the Frond sound into more rich and rhythmic territory than Frond's previous work. This piece still employs field recordings, home made textures and the idiosyncratic slow reveal, but really lets the synth do the talking. This tracks celebrates the inspiration that remote natural environments have on the human experience.

I was inspired to share this track from the album The Second Continent as it was used as the closing track in a short film called Fledgling that was released earlier this year. In terms of arrangement it's probably the cleanest track from the album and, for me personally, stands out as one of the most heartfelt. 

Watch out for a new album dropping later this year on Esc.Rec.

The Second Continent

My Empathy Creaks

The first single from my new Frond album is out today on Esc.Rec. Drifting Satellite is a bittersweet tale about saying goodbye to the world you know in order to discover the place where you belong.

Drifting Satellite (Promo edit)

The opening track from my new album Always There, Somewhere out now on Esc.Rec. 

The album charts a journey of personal discovery through friendship. It’s a record about finding answers in each other, rather than from only within ourselves.

Frond slows down time with his music. You could describe it as cinematic, as ambient or as modern composition, but like many contemporary artists working in these areas it’s music for deep listening - music to make space for. Memories and nostalgia are just as much source material as visions of the future. Using an ensemble of live instruments, field recordings and custom synths Frond effortlessly drifts from the abstract to the heartfelt and back again. 

For fans of Nils Frahm, Fennez, Grouper, Tim Hecker, Julianna Barwick, Simon Scott and Harold Budd.
