EN / THE DECLINING WINTER is what happened since Hood decided to take an extended sabbatical after their brilliant Outside Closer LP. Temporarily freed from the pressures and expectations of the Hood environment, Richard Adams has breathed an audible sigh of relief into this new project. Ranging from epic claustrophobia to rustic folk-dub explorations, with spectral atmospheres anchored to pastoral roots, The Declining Winter deliver hypnotic melancholia via abstract hip hop, shoegaze, dub and post rock explorations. ••• FIELDHEAD is Paul Elam (a resident of Leeds, UK). He produces ambient/electronic music that delights in tape hiss, geography, bleak landscapes and decaying analogue loops. Frozen laptop-generated soundscapes that produce a warmth beyond their contents via the twin violins veering off at different baroque angles in the most slow-burningly lovely way possible. He's here to present his lovely album on Home Assembly Music.
