about

Leaaves returns with a new tape of pieces composed back in January of this year while stranded in Helsinki by an unforgiving winter freeze. “We are beginning to look…” follows the trajectory of the brief and brilliant Finnish winter day – the early morning listlessness of pre-dawn darkness, the slow onset of daylight, the sunset’s endless half-life, the return to blackout – through a series of experiments in sampling and signal processing. The result is a travelogue of stasis, where bursts of melody intervene in all-encompassing texture, where moments of color briefly overwhelm the tranquil familiarity of cold.

Recorded January 8th and 9th in Helsinki and Reykjavik

Mastered by Adam Badi Donoval
