New Wes Willenbring Single Released
Hidden Shoal Recordings is proud to announce the release of the first single taken from the eagerly awaited sophomore album by American ambient craftsman Wes Willenbring.
‘Oh, Most’ sees Willenbring develop on the gorgeous palette of tones explored on his debut album Somewhere Someone Else. The track is submerged in icy washes of guitar, under which piano and bass meet in a rhythmic valium struggle. As with Willenbring’s best work ‘Oh, Most’ is all about time in both its broadest and most discrete sense. There is a deliberation present in its composition that makes for a level of engagement far beyond any easy notion of ambient music.
“Absolutely gorgeous. Dreamy dark meandering melancholia for fans of Stars Of The Lid, Eluvium, Dead Texan, Tim Hecker, Godspeed and other purveyors of darkly dramatic, abstract moody minimalism” – Aquarius Records on Somewhere Someone Else
‘Oh, Most’ is taken from the upcoming Wes Willenbring eight-song opus Close, But Not Too Close. The track is available for free download from the Hidden Shoal Store until the official CD release of Close, But Not Too Close on November 12th, 2009. Fans will be able to get an early taste of the album when it is digitally pre-released on October 20th.
