For today's exclusive track premiere, I am featuring a piece from the second volume of music by a UK trio called Quiet Places, consisting of Dennis White, Charlie May, and Dave Gardner. Their debut release, appropriately titled Volume 1, showed up on my radar back in 2020 [has it really been that long?] by way of Ryan Griffin's meticulously curated A Strangely Isolated Place imprint, the output of which I consistently and hungrily consume. As is foreshadowed with the title, we are now gifted with Volume 2 of this group's creations, featuring four long-players, each taking up an entire side on this gorgeous marbled 2x12" release [the piece you are hearing today is not on the album, and is a digital-only special bonus track]. As I described the first volume three years ago, the swirling atmospheres in a haze-inducing daydream,  the humming synth pads with the layers built upon each one, and the kaleidoscope of sampled snippets are back again in Volume 2 to snatch me back from this reality and drop me into times when Boards of Canada, Global Communication and The Future Sound of London soundtracked my days. On their latest for ASIP, the trio once again command the sonic artistry and deep knowledge of the stylistic snapshots that are stitching up my memories into a cohesive whole. This is a welcome escape from the bombardment of the "usual", a future flashback into the past of the present, a twist in the fabric of space where time becomes a loop.

i wrote ‘half dreaming’ last month when heavy rains came to southern california. 

this one-off single is a bit of a new hushed direction for me—using only tiny swells of my voice, osmose synth & field recordings. life feels extra fragile & precious lately and i hope listening (with headphones on) inspires you to take rest, and drift.

With all our sensitivity and love for Helge's family, we are pleased to present the latest full length album "Sensitiv" that the Norwegian artist, composer and musician (Mind over MIDI) entrusted us to publish shortly before his passing.

Through a mesmerizing exploration of sensitivity's profound realm, Tømmervåg delves deep into the intricate emotions and experiences that define sensitive individuals. This album gracefully intertwines ambient, emotional, and reflective compositions, offering solace and understanding to those deeply in tune with the world around them.

Thematically inspired by sensitivity and its unique attributes, "Sensitiv" urges listeners to embrace their sensitivity as a strength, rather than a vulnerability. Tømmervåg skillfully guides the audience on a profound introspective quest, inviting them to reflect on the unmistakable signs of sensitivity: emotional intensity, compassion, vulnerability to criticism, feelings of isolation, heightened awareness of external stimuli, overthinking, intuition, and the struggle with fatigue and overwhelm.

Using the universal language of melody, Helge Tømmervåg captures the very essence of sensitivity, creating an empathetic canvas for listeners to relate and find comfort in. This album serves as a poignant reminder that sensitivity is not a weakness but a unique gift that allows individuals to perceive the world in a profound and meaningful way.

Helge Tømmervåg's ability to translate the intricacies of sensitivity into a symphony of sound is an awe-inspiring artistic achievement that will leave listeners touched, introspective, and with a profound appreciation for the beauty of sensitivity in all its forms. 

This album was released with the consent and invaluable help of Helge's family.

Despite everything, we still want to congratulate Helge for this wonderful work. He's watching us from above, and we raise a toast in his honor.

Warmth - Anhelo

Good morning, and welcome to the quietest week of the year. Did you have a good holiday? Before I sign off for the year, I think I’ve got one more gem to share with you. Here's a wonderful label showcase and a reflection on this past year from a lovely independent Valencia-based imprint, Archives, curated and operated by Agustín Mena, aka Warmth. I’ve profiled plenty of its releases since its inception in 2015, and I must admit that Warmth’s Parallel (2018) has been on repeat more than others. If anything, it is only rivalled by Glow, which is his collaboration with Fionnlagh, recently released on December 8th, 2023 (you’ll hear a few tracks on this mix). In any case, enjoy the mix, and please support the featured artists! For full details and tracklisting, visit Headphone Commute's main site.
