This EP, which is ultimately calming, contemplative, and spot-on in its sonic approach, is a prelude to an album that we’re pretty excited to hear will (also) be released on Wormhole World in February 2025.
On the edge of lucidity and dreaming
According to the liner notes, Mat Mills’ Irkya project night flowers EP “contains 3 tracks recorded at some point in the middle of night on the edge of lucidity and dreaming,” and dips and dives through post-shoegaze ambient swirling data fields that we have seriously fallen for. Mills also adds that, “The murky synths, mixed with guitars and nighttime field recordings aim to capture the fleeting emotions that emerge during the very late hours and the transcendence we can sometimes find in the nighttime gloom,” and we couldn’t agree more.
“Bathed in dreamlight” and the serene strands of “distant shoreline” give the impression that everything has turned transparent, while these three quite brief works convey a great deal of textured drone-scapes in a short period of time. As we search for a path within these minimal extracts, the lulling fizz-fuzz notes of “sub aura” glide through the air, bookending this triplet of subdued dream segments somewhere between the outer edges of atmospheric and instrumental.
This EP, which is ultimately calming, contemplative, and spot-on in its sonic approach, is a prelude to an album that we’re pretty excited to hear will (also) be released on Lancashire, UK-based Wormhole World in February 2025. Stay tuned.
