Release notes

With an indroduction by Second Thought, Jack Anderton sent us one of the finest ambient album of this year. Electronic and acoustic, field recordings and voices... it's like a soundtrack album for a trip.

About The Missing Couple (by Jack Anderton) : "Inspired by an idea of a couple's honeymoon that for unknown reasons never takes place, The Missing Couple is a journey through the jilted landscape they would have visited- part real- part their imaginations. This area of coastline in England, with nearby woods and pathways, is brought to life with synths, field recordings and occasional acoustic guitar melodies to make a heady mix of nostalgic, beautiful, sometimes sad music that aims to be part dreamscape/part landscape, dwelling on themes of solitude, immersion, and an implacable sense of regret."
