about

Description: 'Torpor' is the first Champion Version release from English drifters Good Weather For An Airstrike, a collective who are able to flirt with experimentation and sprawling compositions in ways that a lot of other bands really can't get away with. The sound across these tracks is beautifully modern, forward-thinking and often daring, drifting from low fidelity electronic textures at one moment to awe inspiring atmospherics the next. The opener 'EIO (With Inachus)' warrants the magnificence of its finale by building up gracefully and steadily via a glorious drum fused ambient piano dialogue. Just a staggering arrangement. The following tracks find the scale slowly increasing while the intricate detail of the band's innermost performances never diminishes. There's a deep feeling of sensitivity and intimacy to these songs, something that’s certainly associated with a group who never shy away from making grand gestures. 'Torpor' is a truly fascinating sound document. Mind blowing.

Love Retained
by Ian Hawgood

supported by 7 fans who also own “Torpor”

Even if he says otherwise, Ian Hawgood is super prolific and incredibly talented in not only his own releases, but in collaborations and with the heart & soul put into the labels he's run over the years. Saying all that, this is a more recent favorite release of Ian's: peaceful, deceivingly simple (yet not!) piano works that is personal, elegant and graceful in its warmth and presentation. Plus it's for a wonderful cause. Get it!! Joe Borreson

Trace of Light
by Chronovalve

supported by 7 fans who also own “Torpor”

This album so perfectly captures the soothing and inspirational nature of melancholy beauty that I am quickly transported to a place east of the sun and west of the moon, filled with endless magic and wonder. I am able to find serenity so easily, I find myself asking, as Keats wrote, "Was it a vision, or a waking dream? / Fled is that music: Do I wake or sleep?" Scott
