North Atlantic Drift :: Pillars (Polar Seas)

A heightened spiritual drive that will accompany your most reflective moments. This new album will easily appeal to fans of Bing & Ruth, Christian Fennesz, Pleq—and other mellow, evanescent and emotionally structured ambient journeys.

Loyal to Polar Seas, the Toronto-based duet North Atlantic Sea (Brad Deschamps & Mike Abercrombie) delivers a new delicate and profoundly soothing ambient minimal album for the most attentive listeners of beatless electronic art and adepts of meditative home listening. With a dense moving cloud of sounds this project confirms its exquisite ability to guide and orientate the listener in vast and evelopping dronescapes. The music is beautifully evocative, pleasantly sensorial, and spacious. Sinuous electronic scintillations converse with cotton-like bass sequences, permanent phrases and elastic drone textures. Nothing ominous or haunting here but a deep commitment into contemplative bliss. A heightened spiritual drive that will accompany your most reflective moments. This new album will easily appeal to fans of Bing & Ruth, Christian Fennesz, Pleq—and other mellow, evanescent and emotionally structured ambient journeys.

Pillars is available on Polar Seas.
