Got word of this chilled-out EP from the recently formed UK ambient act Warm Waves from Jheri over at Get Off the Coast. Each track is engrossed in ethereal guitar sounds reminiscent of the slow-tempo, more melodic Explosions in the Sky stuff. No doubt the stand-out track for me is the opener “Summer Daydream” which is a spot-on auditory depiction of the title. Shimmering, echo-laced guitar effortlessly floats around, tethered only by softly strummed chords every other measure, creating a picture perfect sonic description of all those naps at the park/beach/porch that you’ve no doubt have taken on those warm August afternoons.
For the time being, you can download the entire album from Warm Waves’s bandcamp page or, if you just want a sample, check out “Summer Daydream” below:
