: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: As light as a warm breeze on skin, Earthen SeaÆs latest album :,
: for Kranky æGrass and TreesÆ showcases Jacob LongÆs natural :
:' sensitivity for low-key, enchanting electronic sound craft. ':
,: :,
: Bobbing gently in the wake of 2017Æs æAn Act of loveÆ and æA :
:' Restless GazeÆ outings, Earthen SeaÆs æGrass and TreesÆ ':
,: channels a liminal mix of spatialized, organically warm-sounding :,
: tones that run into each with the quality of watercolours, as :
:' characterised in the sleeve art. But where previous Earthen Sea ':
,: outings were yoked to a regular pulses, thereÆs a finer push and :,
: pull of syncopated, latinate rhythms that works under the :
:' surface of æGrass and TreesÆ, lending the whole album a ':
,: delicious slink that pulls listeners right into its wavey :,
: motion. Fans of Gas, Strategy, Beatrice Dillon, or even those :
:' breezy Werkbund bits, need apply! ':
,: :,
: ôJacob Long's reductionist rhythmic ambient vessel, Earthen Sea, :
:' ebbs towards a more purely elemental state on his second ':
,: excursion for Kranky, Grass and Trees. He describes the creative :,
: process as one of "simplifying things as much as possible," :
:' designing uncluttered spaces traced in nothing but breath, ':
,: field recordings, and "sounds that could be played by hand but :,
: weren't." The results feel decentralized but dynamic, low-lit :
:' evocations of ambiguous nocturnal environments - dub techno ':
,: disassembled into stray pulses and spare parts. It's a music :,
: both interior and infinite, languorous yet transformative, made :
:' in the outer boroughs of a metropolis but attuned to its own ':
,: liminal wilderness. :,
: :
:' Long's vision is a grounding one, rooted in the physical body ':
,: but attuned to larger currents: "In response to living in a :,
: fairly hectic city, and at a very hectic time for the world at :
:' large, creating something more drawn back and restrained felt ':
,: appropriate." :,
