Pale Ground

Andrew V Phillips and Jon Buckland – ‘Pale Ground’
Recorded over the course of a week of merciless night in an isolated cabin in Finland, Pale Ground sees Andrew Phillips and Jon Buckland expanding upon the ideas that permeated their previous recording – Winter’s City – whilst simultaneously stripping back their earlier sonic density, leaving a sparse yet increasingly focused sound. Set for release on the Winter Solstice of 2015, Pale Ground is slow, haunting washes of melodic and abstract piano with guitar, layers of processed strings, percussion, synths and evolving phrases of chimes, conjuring an ambiance which moves toward the darker end of the experimental/ neo-classical/electronic music spectrum.
