After a quiet stretch, Silent Season briefly emerges from hibernation to present Kumonomori, a new EP from Hidden Sequence — the duo of Paul Simmons and Stefano Ugliano. Longtime fans of the label, the pair crafted these tracks with Silent Season in mind, drawing deeply from the textures and moods that define the catalog.

Kumo no Mori (雲の森) — which translates from Japanese as Cloud Forest — is a contemplative journey through sky forests and ancient echoes, rooted in the organic pulse of deep ambient techno. Each track unfolds with a sense of patience and depth: from the drifting warmth of Bisaro Anima to the dappled light of Komorebi, through the reverberations of memory in Ancestral Echos, and finally into the misty stillness of Cloud Forest.

Originally tucked away while the label lay dormant, the release now sees light with spring’s arrival and the timing of Bandcamp Friday — a moment that felt right to share this work with the world. Kumonomori is a quiet offering from the den, a reminder of the timeless sounds that continue to shape Silent Season.

We hope you enjoy. 💚 🌲 ✨
