Within these distant time capsules, atmospheric synth-stretches take on a whole other meaning; their soothing drones and tones drift in both light and dark shadows.
Stunningly surreal
Wide open spaces of ethereal yet tangible soundscapes surround us on Above The Sky, Simon Huxtable’s seven-piece collection, operating under his Inhmost alias. Within these distant time capsules, atmospheric synth-stretches take on a whole other meaning; their soothing drones and tones drift in both light and dark shadows, giving us a sense of hope and curiosity as each piece feels like its own soundtrack. A story that calms the senses, inviting found-sounds and organic elements are balanced in a whirlwind of delicate shapes and forms. Seemingly intertwined, the album unfolds textured sonic threads that carefully float in front of our eyes, blinding us with its magical and nostalgic flutter. Ultimately, Above The Sky should be explored from start to finish in one fell swoop, as its gravitational pull is far too great to absorb in smaller segments. Stunningly surreal.
Above The Sky is available on Auxiliary. [Bandcamp]
