Shall the Days Float Through Our Eyes frames a vision: two fleeting immersions into a wider sonic universe — brief plunges, yet deeply felt.

At once a bold gesture and a new departure, the record expands Lindholm’s continuous exploration, probing fresh territory while remaining anchored in his work with density, resonance, and space.

This 7-inch brings together two fragments, contrasting in temperament yet converging on these core elements. Lissitzky unfolds with the tension of an abstract construction, its lines of force sharp and architectural. Skelton lingers more slowly, steeped in grain and melancholy, unfolding as an intimate, fragile state. One is sensory, the other sentimental. Together, they condense an experience both raw and interior, and invite the listener to dive back in.

Captured live in a former industrial space, the double bass, prepared and extended through desynchronised loopers, was diffused across the building on multiple speakers, resonating through its walls and balconies. The architecture became part of the music itself, shaping a sound disarticulated, tactile, and visual — sensed as much in the body as in the ear.

Released in an ultra-limited edition on Skew Note and digital, this record stands as a self-contained miniature and a prelude. It offers an experience both direct and meditative, at the crossroads of architecture, time, and feeling — where sound becomes space and emotion.

A distilled expression, streaming into Lindholm’s wider trajectory, drifting forward toward releases still to come — letting the days float through our eyes.
