Winter Rain by Broken Chip

Format
Digital
Release date
13 August 2021
Genre
Ambient, Drone, Electronic

Broken Chip drops a second instalment of time-suspending sounds on the lo fi spiritual imprint.

Winter Rain is a 3 part, live ambient improvisation that comes across as a devotional ambient masterpiece.

The EP captures the deep and tender emotions involved in the human experience. The track, Errors are Necessary, reveals a gentle wisdom and maturity that is reflected throughout this record.

There is a majesty of sound that also speaks of something larger and more eternal than the human experience. Be it the grand Blue Mountains that Broken Chip calls home, or something more ethereal, there is an unmistakable sacred tonality to this record.

Technically, Broken Chip is somewhat of a synths collector and synth enthusiast. His mastery of synthesis can be heard in this rolling, layered, constantly evolving synth tapestry.

We hope this record helps to create a sacred space in your life as it has for the lo fi spiritual Headquarters

Lo Fi Sunsets by The Horizontal Society

Format
Digital
Release date
13 June 2021
Genre
Ambient, Drone, Electronic

Lo Fi Sunsets marks The Horizontal Society’s fourth release on lo fi spiritual and their first release of 2021.

True to their sound, The Horizontal Society offers a palette of warm, tape-saturated tambura drones slowed down to an almost catatonic state. These drones are then woven with layers of nature field recordings to suspend the listener in a surreal, timeless earthly domain.

Murky, trance-inducing rhythms occasionally swell through the immersive haze of sound to guide the listener through the wall of sound. Again adding to the hypnotic suspension of time.

At other points, the use of ancient emotive motifs in voice and synthesised sound, direct the listener’s mood state to a more sentimental space.

The essence of the title and the inspiration behind this release is the setting sun, in particular, the stunning sunsets over the escarpment of the South Coast NSW, as featured on the front cover.

Lo Fi Sunsets brings the listener into a space that speaks of the nostalgia and beauty of the setting sun and is a testament to The Horizontal Society’s ability to capture nuance.

We hope you get to enjoy this release as a soundtrack to the sunset in your neighbourhood. Alternatively, we hope Lo Fi Sunsets helps you suspend time at any point in the day or night.

Lo Fi Sunsets is available from June 13, 2021, through all the usual streaming platforms and
from stores Beatport, iTunes and beyond.
