Electronic virtuoso Will Wiesenfeld (of Baths fame) is back with another release under the Geotic moniker (which we have featured numerous times, for example here and here). Morning Shore is the first release under the Eon Isle header, with a series of three full-length releases planned. Each will utilise a single instrument, with Morning Shore using nothing but the guitar, Sunset Mountain (planned for Autumn ‘14) using only the voice, and Evening Sky (Winter ’14-15) purely piano.
It may not be wise to judge and album by it’s cover, but in this instance the lovely artwork is a good indictor of the lovely music within. The songs are a gentle brand of ambient music, filled with interesting quirks and nuances that give the soundscapes a sense of the natural world. The title is also indicative of the atmosphere, each song filled with a gentle optimism of a bright morning. The album captures that feeling of being on holiday in a sunnier clime, the relaxed, carefree nature you fall into as if it is your default setting.
You can buy the album over at Bandcamp, and be sure to check out the newly added Geotic back catalogue which is now available while you are there.
