about

This EP is a slight departure from our traditional sound. As we developed as a band, our live shows gradually shifted from less jazz-oriented music in favor of more soundscapes, cinematic moments, and a reliance on complex textures with reverb, delay, and modulation. Ambient 1: Blossom is our attempt at capturing those moments in a consistent format. This effort can be categorized into the pure ambient genre, though with slightly more tension and melodic content than typically found.
Over the course of a few recording sessions in Summer 2018, we composed and recorded a total of eleven tracks. We chose four of those to be released on this EP, along with one other from a separate session that was written by our vibraphonist, Michael. The tracks were recorded live and feature a lot of improvisations that happened in the moment. Over the course of Fall and Winter of that year Alex worked on the tracks, fine tuning the mixes, adding effects, and adding a few overdubs in spots. The project sat at 95% completion for nearly two years while we went back and forth on the mixes every couple of months. The end result is a product that we’re all extremely proud of and we hope it takes listeners on a fulfilling meditative journey.
