Downpour by Keys for Eclipse
After nearly two months of silence and passing through these hard times, we are going furthaer with our fifth release signed by Keys for Eclipse. Downpour is a calm and detailed ambient album with sweeping, emotional movements, rich with subtle field recordings, gentle textures, ethereal melodies and atmospheres that as a whole make it a truly emotionally challenging listening experience. Written during the latter half of 2019, the album takes direct inspiration from the ambience of rain and the comfort which it can bring to the listener. Downpour combines a constant flow of rain with field recordings, synthesizers and piano to create a calming yet mysterious backdrop for introspective late night thinking.
Hailing from Aberdeen, Scotland, Keys for Eclipse is the musical project of Jacob Anthony. Combining elements of ambient and drone to create dream-like soundscapes for the listener. Taking influence from ambient cornerstones such as Brian Eno and Aphex Twin as well as Akira Yamaoka's work on the Silent Hill franchise (which gave inspiration to the KfE name) Downpour is the 4th solo effort from the artist, released in collaboration with Élan Vital.
