Harry set out to visit and explore the sights and sounds of the six nearest fen roads to his home, including Rippingale, Dunsby, Haconby, Morton, Dyke and Bourne. Many of these consisted of long, straight, narrow roads, often worn and dusty. Some were dead ends. Either side of the roads were flat landscape views, stretching many miles out into expanses of open nothingness.
Lamasz & Thme – Chiffons D'azur

Fragile nostalgia, immersive drone, and magnetic tape. Captivating hypnotic tracks featuring a distinctive lo-fi sound.

Flint is a grounding experience at the intersection of three vibrant inner worlds, where every layer is intentional, and every sound rife with personal meaning.

Deep, dark drone-filled layers give way to bright synth textures. Field recordings and various noises add atmosphere to the compositions.

Eric always knows how to make balanced, soft and magical soundscapes. This release evokes a serene and dreamy ambiance.
