Dreaming

Expanses - Untitled 2

“The Mist” recalls a hypnotic, eerie landscape, a fog which slowly materialises over a lake in the deepest part of the woods. “Conundrum” sets the mise-en-scène with spectral voices that hover over organic pads and drones. “Snake snake” is the closest thing to hip-hop on the album, without compromising on a free structure where the rhythms are fractured and reconstructed, like a living entity, before giving way to the crystal-clear melodies and throbbing bass frequencies, over which the ethereal voice of Nimio oscillates in “Ego hunter”. Cascades of notes and phantasmagorical vocals reach their highest point with the ritual scenes of “Acuario de plantas”, putting an end to the record’s first half. “The Tides” opens the second half with a web of arpeggios and an emphatic rhythm section. “Gamelan” provides a few minutes of tense calm, preparing the listener for the fast-paced rhythm and the expansive textures of “The Inmost light”, before finishing with the ever-mutating “Coda”, featuring the contribution of the multitalented, brilliant Van Delay adding synth layers in a mesmerising conclusion.

"For my cover version I chose this track by Yeasayer. The original is a  beautifully sad yet upbeat breakup song, strident and bright with synth lines cascading around a heartfelt vocal. I wanted to make it sound far more broken and fragile, so I re-played it on the piano, pitched it down, then mangled it quite heavily so it came out sort of wobbly and knackered sounding. I wanted to leave it quite bare, just letting that amazing melody lead the way." - Jon Hopkins

EXCLUSIVE REMIX OF ANGELS DUST "SLOW TAPES" BY  DNTEL.

ANGELS DUST is vocalist FLAVIA and producer DAVID LAMPLEY, both originally hailing from San Diego, CA. Their bewitching, hypnotizing yet soulful debut summons the same heaviness and somber darkness of Portishead & Mazzy Star. Flavia's almost-whispered vocals are front and center, anchored by loose swinging beats that are as unnerving as they are catchy. Lampley (also known as Psychopop, one half of San Diego instrumental noise legends SKRAPEZ, as well as a frequent GONJASUFI collaborator) handles the gritty lo-fi production duties.

The mesmerizing and raw 6-song EP is scheduled for release June 22nd 2015 on HIT+RUN [HNR48]. Their eerie 17-minute album will be available digitally, on a limited-edition cassette, as well as red-marbled 10" vinyl (with one-of-a-kind jacket screenprinted by HIT+RUN).

Vocals : Flavia 
Remix: Dntel

ANGELS DUST "Slow Tapes (dntel Remix)"

KENNETH JAMES GIBSON, one of the most multifaceted artists in electronic music today, enlists for the fourth instalment in our POP AMBIENT artist album series - he's the mastermind behind the Adjunct Audio label and projects as diverse as [a]pendics.shuffle, Eight Frozen Modules, Reverse Commuter, neo-americana duo Bell Gardens (with Stars Of The Lid's Brian McBride) or noise pop band Furry Things. On THE EVENING FALLS, he deviates from his other, more beat-infused work and explores vast aural landscapes with an intricately woven tapestry of swelling string drones, shimmering pedal steel  and minimalist piano motives.

The first strictly ambient solo offering from this incredibly versatile composer and musician reveals a delicate sense for rich, ruminant textures and fine-grained synth buzz dispensing organic highs on tracks like opening movement TO SEE YOU DRIFT, the Polaroid-colored LONG GONE CANADIAN SUMMER, the meditative A CONVERSATION BETWEEN FRIENDS or terraforming blues LATERAL DECOMPOSITION. The iridescent quality of these recordings almost appears to be born out of an auditory illusion - with the arrangements seemingly evolving in time lapse and slow motion at the same time.

The natural, wholesome flow of the album certainly finds itself influenced by Gibson's recent move to a 6000 ft. mountain community called Idyllwild. While two of the tracks on THE EVENING FALLS were started in LA about two years ago, for them and others to get fully realized, he needed to transition away from inner city roaming: "my wife and I heard the calling of the mountains for a while - getting deeper into meditation and nature and a slower way of life. There've been beatless tracks on many of my albums, but this is the first full-scale ambient album I've done... I simply needed to find the right focus." The result is a masterful new addition to our growing series of Pop Ambient full-lengths, presenting the fully-formed vision of a veteran producer who never lost his taste for sonic adventure.

NE193: The Field

You've probably heard about it already but The Field released his fifth full length "The Follower" on April 1st and we're beyond happy that people love what they hear. We enlisted some of The Field's favorite producers of today to do the remix treatment to the highlight album closing track "Reflecting Lights". KAITLYN AURELIA SMITH infuses the ambient drift of the original with a brightly colored, heartwarming palette of sounds and voices, former Walls member  / Kompakt alumni, NOT WAVING switches to a more rugged methodology, recalling the distorted lo-fi techno and obscure tape industrial references on his current album "Animals" on Powell's Diagonal imprint. 

The Field - Reflecting Lights (Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith Mix)

A track from the album "Patterns of Juvenile Delinquency"
By Strangejuice featuring Bree Smith on ladyvoice

Setting Fire to Caravans

Im a nerd with butane in my body
i must reduce the medication
Threw out the baby with the vitamin B
I took a gas chamber vacation
Got a parking fine in a burnt out trailer
Now i lost the car with the cruise control
You cannot enter if you're not connected
You'll be sleeping on the couch that your Grandma stole
Climbed with the flag up the red flag pole
and i stole a whole line of handbags
Plastic vegetables in the carpool lane
I left the chimpanzee in my brain

Saving on grocery Coupons, Setting Fire to Caravans

Idiots complimenting bad pop songs
I'll hang myself last April
Load the meat into a free Cadillac
Pour the wax on the phony jack kerouac
I won't pay attention and I'll sleep on the pavement
I refuse to sign the agreement
Smoke the toxins in the hand sanitizer
Hide inside the lawn fertilizer
Made a ten foot banner and I gave the high fives
I raised the largest insect alive
Then danced with my salary in the sky
in an overcrowded morgue while the dead got high

Saving on Grocery Coupons Setting Fire To Caravans
The devil however is in my head but me im hiding in the cornbread
Sweet emotion thats in my head, I built a time machine in an old tool shed
Where the sheep was crying inside my head, running wild with the walkie talkie in my bed

Running Wild on the Bayou

Saving on Grocery Coupons Setting Fire To Caravans
The devil however is in my head but me im hiding in the cornbread
Sweet emotion thats in my head, I built a time machine in an old tool shed
Where the sheep was crying inside my head, running wild with the walkie talkie in my bed

Mint Julep is Keith & Hollie Kenniff. Our album Save Your Season is out now.

Formed in Boston, Massachusetts, in 2007, MINT JULEP is the husband-and-wife team of Keith and Hollie Kenniff. Subsequently relocating to Portland, Oregon, the duo cut a limited release album, Songs About Snow, in 2008 and the EP, Adorn, in 2010 – effectively a trial run for further recording in their home studio, the fruit of which is a sublime follow-up, Save Your Season, released by Village Green in 2011. The couple is currently writing and recording their next album, Broken Devotion, which is slated for release in mid 2013.

Hallmarked by Hollie’s seductive, dreamy vocals and a succession of memorably soaring choruses, all of it etched with Keith’s vivid, glinting keyboards, towering guitars and miscellaneous instrumental hooks, Mint Julep make lustrous modern pop music that is wistful and mellifluous yet simultaneously powerful, even epic – equal parts shoegazing romanticism and cool, Kraftwerkian polish. Their songs seem instantly familiar, like old musical friends, a ’classicism’ offset by the freshness and luminosity they exude as they usher you on a breathless ride through the sunlit uplands of electronic indie-rock.

Mint Julep was designed as a conscious departure from Keith’s previous, ambient-orientated projects. “When Hollie and I set out to do something, I wanted to find some way to incorporate her vocals into a slightly different style, rather than just write similar material to my solo work and lay her vocals over top”, he says. “I had the need to write something that had some distorted guitars, loud drums and was a little bolder than what I had previously done. We messed around with a track one night (which became ‘Stay’) and it was a fun process, so we just kept writing more songs so we could do a project together.”

Soon a working pattern emerged, with Keith composing music around Hollie’s lyrics or making tracks which Hollie would then add to. “It just developed after a lot of trial and error, and after a while the material started to plateau and began to sound like an album…”

A Pennsylvannian by birth, Keith Kenniff is an honors graduate of Boston’s esteemed Berklee College of Music, best known as the brains behind dulcet ambient/electronic practitioners Helios and the fingers on the ivories of post-classical piano minimalists Goldmund (the latter’s music once described by no less an authority than Ryuichi Sakamoto as “…so, so, so beautiful…”). A succession of albums under those aliases has made Kenniff the darling of discerning critics and his music has also been widely used in film, television and advertising, not least on the soundtrack to the 2012 documentary Bones Brigade, as well as composing for clients such as Apple, Facebook and Google.

Originally from Ohio, singer Hollie Kenniff maintains dual US/Canadian citizenship, having spent part of her life in Ontario. Aside from Mint Julep, she has collaborated on several additional musical endeavors in tandem with husband Keith, including a children’s music project, Meadows (inspired by the couple’s young son), whose debut longplayer was recently released, and an ambient diversion under their own names. An album of the latter, A Deep and Dreamless Sleep, is slated for release in 2013.

Track 2 from Robin Guthrie's new album 'Fortune' released on 26/11/12.

Circus Circus

I had a lot of fun working on this remix, mainly because Marc and Ken provided some great parts to work with. I messed around with chopping up the main riff so that it plays different versions out of each channel to give an interesting left/right effect, every so often hitting the same pattern on both channels and suddenly jumping to the middle as a result. Then it disintegrates and recombines in new form during the break before finally reaching the original riff on the main drop....I've been playing it out a lot, seems to do the job nicely in the clubs....all about the bassline as often is the way with my stuff!
