about

A mix of the intimate and expansive, SALT is a collection of chamber and solo works which explore connections between human emotion and natural phenomena. In this eclectic record, ghostly bird-like calls and the low rumble of powerful rolling swells are juxtaposed with exquisite melody and patient stillness.

Complex, refined, inventive and incredibly accomplished album that shines a dark light on all the chaos we’re enduring in our nightmarish anthropocene. A future classic, imo. Fabio Viola

Promises
by Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders & The London Symphony Orchestra

supported by 7 fans who also own “Salt”

Magic in its purest form. I love Floating Points, I love Pharoah Sanders, I love The London Symphony Orchestra. It's a match made in heaven, and the result is absolutely gorgeous. I have loved this record since its release, and realized I don't own it for some reason. So its time to change that. 9.5/10 honestly could become a 10/10 on an indepth vinyl relisten. angrypizza98

Deer Heart
by Tilman Robinson

supported by 7 fans who also own “Salt”

A genre-defying fusion of experimental electronic and modern classical. Robinson's sense of musical dynamics are brilliant. These pieces are often extremely sparse, but he shades their simplicity with deft touches that add layers of complexity. I love albums that defy classification, yet feel entirely natural; albums that pull the unfamiliar into the light. This is a truly outstanding example of one of those albums. Michael Mueller
