Beautiful quiet music, like sitting in the shade of a tree on on a slow, hot afternoon.

Pre-order now available: https://handstitched.bandcamp.com/album/upward-eyes-kindred

Handstitched* is thrilled to announce the next installment of the split-artist series, Ian Hawgood and Fields We Found feature alongside each other for an outing of outstanding musical composure and tranquility. 

Ian's music needs little introduction, with many releases and collaborations under his belt on numerous well-known labels - to say he's prolific is pretty close to the mark. Ian also curates the wonderful Home Normal label, here in the UK. "upward eyes" is seriene, slow-moving and hauntingly subtle, prolonged space fills the moments we frequently overlook and leaves time for reflection during a quiet time spent in an open space. We are honoured to have his debut EP "upward eyes" featuring on Handstitched*. 

Fields We Found has just released his outstanding album "Distance" on the lovely Seil Records, which has been on constant rotation here at Handstitched* over the past month - and the new EP "kindred" is equally as moving, graceful and bewitching. The equilibrium and expression within "kindred" is harmonious - and at the same time, quietly sonorous.

Fields We Found and Ian Hawgood are both welcomed to Handstitched* with many thanks and admiration for their respective musical works as part of the split-artist series, it's great to have them visiting Handstitched* for this special release.

Limited to 50 copies. Released on mini CD-r and sage green cassette with hand-made packaging, tape O-cards and unique designs for each CD package. [HS45/45T]. 

Released August 12.

Seabuckthorn - Hand In The Upward Sky

In February of 2022, as Storm Eunice worked its way across the UK, two people, namely Greig Baird and his partner Susie Baird set out for a rare weekend away on the North Coast of Devon. The weather was rough, but life affirming. The North Devon coast spectacular and dramatic; made more so by the waning storm.

This collection is a set of sonified memories; moments in a particular location at a particular time. A creative recalling. A set of sound postcards if you will.

For Susie. As always, thank you. I love you.

Special thank you to Uma Baird.

Thank you to Brad Deschamps and Polar Seas Recordings.

Also a big thank you to James Bernard.

The moment when a margin is created in me.
I want to feel these senses forever. »
