what your ears say & what the cover looks like

what we say

I kept hearing about this LP for ages so expectations were high, especially as Ian Hawgood, Brad Deschamps & their respective labels Home Normal & Polar Seas Recordings are ambient heavy hitters, so I'm happy to report it lives up all my heightened horizontal expections. Your Sunday soundtrack is here.

what the release notes say

Rosales follow-up their debut for the Archives label 'Still, Tomorrow' with 'Woven Songs'. Written between 2019 and 2020 (prior to their debut album) this collaboration between Ian Hawgood and Brad Deschamps is a joint release on Home Normal and Polar Seas Recordings, featuring stunning artwork by Laura Kay Keeling. 

This new long-form work was sourced from guitar and synth loops and processed by Space Echo, cassette and reel-to-reel for decayed textures. The result is music that develops carefully, only to slowly fragment in the whir of the analog machines, all culminating in the dynamic penultimate piece 'matter'. 'Woven Songs' is available on limited LP and digital.
