New single by Monochrome Motif Records-signed Cinematic Dreampop trio The Music Of Sound released on all digital platforms on Friday 13th December 2024.

The Music Of Sound - Cold Weather Man (Radio Edit)

The piano plays a prominent part throughout Rivers & Forests, the new work of evocative instrumentals by Drew Five - his first ever solo long-player and a counterpoint to his alt/art rock output. The themes of flowing rivers and deep waters, gigantic trees and expansive forests, dominate. In amongst these landscapes, the human constructs of language and time also resonate, illustrating in these captured fragments, an aching beauty and longing. This album takes you on a journey, along the river that Drew calls home, along many other rivers, to the Boreal Forest at nightime, to the constellations which silently speak of other possible worlds. The cinematic scope of this work would not be out of place in a dozen different movies of the imagination or perhaps a lucid dream. Listen deeply. Enjoy forever.

For fans of: A Winged Victory For The Sullen, Laurie Anderson, Olafur Arnalds, Gavin Bryars, Alice Coltrane, Ludovici Einaudi, Nils Frahm, Hildur Guðnadóttir, Eric Honore, Johann Johannsson, Joanna Newsom, Steve Reich, Max Richter, Sigur Ros, David Sylvian.

02 Love Needs No Words

The original Re is such a beautiful piece just the way it is. I was a little apprehensive attempting a rework of it, but found it irresistible. I had to do it. I feel I've created a delicate rework, as melancholic as the original with just a touch of what I love best; strings and soundscapes.
