What does the future of peace and quiet look like? Is it possible for someone to find serenity in a world where population mushrooms and buildings continuously jockey for the best possible view? With Kael Smith’s (Mombi, Khale) Mute Forest this dichotomy is at the epicenter of his 'Infinity Pools EP' due April 7th via Lost Tribe Sound.

To coincide with visuals courtesy of Gregory Euclide (Bon Iver, Erased Tapes), Smith’s debut EP fuses acoustic sounds, mangled electronics and provocative lyrics across four meditative yet mesmerizing tracks.

Serving as a companion piece to his expansive and sonorous LP, 'Deforestation', due later this year, Smith’s 'Infinity Pools EP' was actually written as a reaction to that material but will be released first.“ 'Deforestation' will in a sense be a prequel to the EP,” explains Smith. “And for listeners who follow along, should provide an interesting reverse narrative,” he concludes.

“Crypt,” the EP’s opener, contains oscillating vinyl-sampled rhythms, chiming electric guitar and gently struck nylon guitar. Following that is the sparce and haunting “Volcanoes Flowing,” which traces a melancholy beat and slow, lovely piano crescendos to its heartbreaking conclusion.

Darker in tone, title track "Infinity Pools" has a commanding presence using ominous electronics and damaged samples of Le Creuset pots being struck. Heavily processed and featuring vocals from Smith’s longtime girlfriend Kelly O’Brien, the track unfurls into a hypnotic groove over the chilling words “You’ll feel like an ember trilling/out in space.”

Washing over the listener to conclude the EP, “Eat the Skin” originally started as an A Winged Victory for the Sullen remix of a song off of their recent LP, 'Atomos'. As the track progressed though, all of the layers performed by AWVFTS were eventually stripped leaving only acoustic guitar and Smith’s voice. “I like to pretend we wrote that song together, hopefully someday they will hear it” desires Smith. He uses the big, cavernous sound of acoustic guitar as base for unhurried, dulcet vocals and airy electronics. “I’ve always loved the big, acoustic sound of Seafood’s “Desert Stretched Before the Sun”“ explains Smith. “I really tried to emulate that deep resonate tone where the acoustic sounds like a tidal wave.”

"I've seen this moment before, can I go there again with you?"

Originally written as part of Hawk Moon Records' 2018 compilation album to raise funds for Young Dementia UK, Season of Gold is a nostalgic song that reminisces about the beauty of years gone by. This is also is the first new song released by Narrow Skies following their successful debut project Seasons, described by Insight music as "a beautifully presented album of atmospheric bliss".

Lyrics:

We walked that season of gold
I'd walk it again with you
Clouded moments, hazy pictures in my mind

I've seen this moment before
Can I go there again with you?
Reminisce, of where time stands still

And I, I might need, 
I might need to reimagine

And I, I might need,
I might need to reimagine (to reimagine)

We walked that season of gold
I'd walk it again with you
Clouded moments, hazy pictures in my mind

And as the season turns cold
I'd do it all again with you
Distant memories... or just a dream?

Season of Gold

"We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For the days of auld lang syne"

Auld Lang Syne is the fifth single from our 'Earth' project. And while the overall project is inspired by the human impact on the natural world, we felt that this song would be a fitting final release of the year.

Wishing you peace & love during the rest of 2020, and for the new year to come.

Lyrics:

Should old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear
For the days of auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For the days of auld lang syne

For auld lang syne, my dear
For the days of auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For the days of auld lang syne
