Kennebec is the critically acclaimed musical outlet of Eric Phillips, a composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist living in Portland, Oregon. Drawing from an eclectic array of influences to create his own unique style of cinematic electronic music, he is set to release his sophomore album ‘Without Star or Compass’ on the 28th October via Night Times Stories, the sister label to LateNightTales. 

Releasing his debut album ‘Departure’ at the beginning of the pandemic in early 2020, ‘Without Star or Compass’ was written and recorded during a phase in Phillips’ life which allowed him to re-examine his motivations. “The first primary influence for this record is that, more so than ‘Departure’, I wanted to write this record for my friends and others rather than for myself. Maybe it's also a product of maturing, but I wanted the music to communicate more clearly to others, and be less of an exercise of some kind for myself.” 

From the subtle electronica of ‘Leaving The Canyons’ featuring the distinctive vocals of Future Islands frontman Samuel T. Herring, the expanding electronic beats of ‘Tall Tales’ featuring Hemlock Ernst (the rap moniker of Samuel T. Herring) and US singer Sudan Archives, to the effortlessly cast rhythms of ‘The Great Divide’ featuring Yazz Ahmed on horns, Phillips set out to make an album which was more direct with sparser arrangements and distinct melodies, while still maintaining the eclectic and creative nature of his debut. “I think if I were a writer, my words would be all setting and very little narrative. I'm really trying to evoke a sense of place and motion and journey and environment but the facts of the story are left vague.” 

On working with Herring, Phillips adds, “I think our styles just resonated well with one another, and we clicked naturally. We sent some ideas back and forth remotely and then he flew out to Portland and we recorded all the vocals in three days together. It was so fun and inspiring - and really deepened my appreciation for his craft. He's such a nice guy and a total genius. Sam's lyrics really hit a beautiful balance between that sense of magic and folklore in the natural world that I'm after, while really bringing his own sense of narrative. He's really amazing at constructing lyrical concepts in a way that I think compliments my own strengths (and weaknesses).” 

Throughout ‘Without Star or Compass’, Phillips masterfully creates an evocative sense of place and motion in a cinematic way, in part due to his love of soundtrack music, a heavy influence on the album. ‘Castalay's Fountain’ was inspired by classic JRPG music such as ‘Zelda’, ‘Chrono Trigger’ and ‘Final Fantasy’, while instrumental tracks ‘Friendship song’, ‘The Great Divide’ and ‘Calyptra’ are rich in cinematic grandeur.  

In addition to the Kennebec project, Phillips has composed the music for numerous feature films, documentaries, podcasts and games. In 2020, alongside Mark Orton (of Tin Hat Trio) and John Hancock, Phillips co-composed the soundtrack to 'Wind of Change', a podcast created by New York Times Journalist Patrick Radden Keefe and produced by Spotify, recorded the Moscow Bowtie Orchestra for the feature-length film ‘12 Mighty Orphans’ starring Luke Wilson, Robert Duvall and Martin Sheen and scored Northfork Studios documentary ‘Chehalis: A Watershed Moment.'
 
Running since 2013, 'Night Time Stories’, the sister label to LateNightTales, is a platform for original artist material, hosting artists connected by a common thread of authenticity.

Hong Kong-born, Brighton-based producer Flavia Aliverti aka Foreign Skin is an audio-visual dreamboat. Manipulating the vocals of talented friends over warm synths, her sample-based ambient adventures never fail to capture our attention. With inspiration taken from the likes of Bonobo, Bjork and Purity Ring, music comes to Fla in sudden surges of creativity that often manifests itself in ethereal remixes for artists like Fickle Friends and Sun Glitters. Self-produced soaring, hypnotic visuals accompany her performance and make for a completely enchanting live show. Fresh from supporting Tei Shi, and ahead of her set tonight at Don Julio’s La Cantina Primavera, ease your mind with Foreign Skin’s Slumber Session.

James Blake - I Only Know (What I Know Now)

can't you hear the canned laughter?
can't you hear the waves?
people coming to their senses
everyday
mock your thoughts
give up your plot
your plans are losing weight
the crows are circling
they know somethings up
something’s up
something’s up
something’s up

The sophomore release from Maribou State & Pedestrian’s new imprint comes in the form of a digital only remix EP; brand new interpretations of the sonic cycle, ‘Circadian Rhythms’. Stepping up to the remix duties of co-founder Pedestrian’s debut release on Dama Dama, is three forward-thinking artists, handpicked by the Dama family. 

Musical prodigy Bastien Keb takes hold of ‘Torn Blue’, showing his talents as a multi-instrumentalist; he adds complex vocal layers, resonating trumpets, fluttering flutes and an overall psychedelic wonkiness that ties the whole busy palette into a concise and colourful soundscape. 

Newcomer Andrew Anderton A.K.A Olsen, moulds the haziness of ‘Deep In Daylight’ into a luscious shuffle that ebbs and flows, accompanied by the warming and textural vocals, perfect for the summer afternoons. 

The last track see’s South-London based, Ross From Friends take the already shadowy and dark ‘JNT’, cultivating it into a lo-fi thumper, perfectly tailored for the early hours.
