about

We’ve got something a bit different from usual for our next release: Meeting of Waters by Josiah Steinbrick.

Back in 2017 the unassuming Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist and producer released his first collection of solo pieces and we’ve been listening to it compulsively since then. Given that its initial release was only in North America, both on cassette with Leaving records and in an extremely limited vinyl self-release via BANANA editions, we felt that this meticulously crafted, essential work righteously deserved to get a proper spin in Europe too!

The album is composed of what you could call nine sculptural environments, each a mixture of organic sketches and improvisations, recorded rapidly and more or less free of any processing. Each piece is based on up to five simple elements - electronic and/or (tonal) percussions - used to create subtle evolving patterns and harmonies. The sounds explore the wilderness of jazz in a concrete setting, devotional in nature, creating a timeless cartography.

The attention to detail and the depth of the production on this record is magnificent, making the listener's journey through these personal, cinematic landscapes all the more poignant.

Last day on earth, I can listen to it looped all day. It has such a poignancy to it, especially at the moment. I would put it up there with Brian Eno’s “ascent the ending”. Nigel Chapman

These organ drones are outstanding. Live in Berlin is like listening to some lost Tangerine Dream or Klaus Schulze recording from the early 70's. Thanks, Sarah! dami

Distortion Hue
by Byron Westbrook

supported by 7 fans who also own “Meeting of Waters”

This record is a dense, lush jungle of endlessly engrossing soundscapes that rewards deep listening just as richly as it excels as background mood music. Heavy, but not necessarily dark, Distortion Hue has appropriately soundtracked many moments of my life over the last year, providing a foil to the events of our time while offering a safe sonic buffer to contemplate them. Aside from being emotionally explorative, Westbrook’s work here is also technically astounding; truly a tour de force. John Jolley
