Alex Albrecht has always had a nice line in warm, low gravity house & airy, unhurried electronica but he's outdone himself with the new LP. Found sounds & minimal instrumentation offer respite from the usual sample pack familiarity; ambient thermals are roused by padded kick drums & augmented by dream ritual percussion, until you're in an ambient house daydream, mentally miles from where you started.

Alex Albrecht returns to Analogue Attic Recordings for the label's inaugural release of 2024. An immersive exploration spanning house, downtempo, and ambient genres, Albrecht guides listeners through a ephemeral sonic journey. Characterised by trademark field recordings and enchanting piano motifs, "Allambie" also integrates new hardware and synth sounds to Alex's palette.
Featuring electro-acoustic ventures such as "Railbridge", warm pads breathing in and out, setting a dynamic tone, and then transitioning to the deeper sounds of "Green Shade". Sub-bass breaks and a more minor feel that adds complexity to the sonic landscape, "Allambie" takes you on a journey from the boundary of the forest to its more mysterious, overgrown center, a sonic narrative that captivates and intrigues.
