Northerner – 1976
Hibernate Records have caught my attention of late with superb releases from the likes of Ian Hawgood, Chihei Hatakeyama and most recently Porzellan.
Now on the horizon comes a splendid release titled ‘1976‘ from the talented producer Northerner…
Northerner’s savoir faire is clear for all to see within this release and captures a melodious atmosphere that resinates slightly with previous Pillowdiver releases. The approach to each arrangement has a soothing organic feel, creating an atmospheric tone, leaving the listener in a state of complete tranquality as gentle layers of glassy harmonics, wrapped in gorgeous micro guitar structures resonate througout the journey. ‘1976‘ comes highly recommended and is a superb addition to the label’s impressive catalogue. 8/10
