ghosttropics Currently my favourite thing to listen to on headphones while walking around in that crisp autumn/almost winter weather. I just wish it was three times as long but I am also happy to just listen to it three times in a row instead.

AST156: Hayden Moon - Death Of A Miner's Cottage c20

Following his warmly-received debut, A Creek Cut Through Me, earlier in 2023 Newcastle’s Hayden Moon returns to Altered States Tapes for a subtle, yet impactful follow-up EP.

More concise even than 'Creek, Death Of A Miner's Cottage sees Moon refine his palette into works of intricate ambience. At face value, less immediately 'organic' than 'Creek, but no less emotionally resonant. There are some subtle elements of rhythm present at times in DOAMC not found in his earlier pieces, but they don’t detract from the immersive setting created overall.  At times it feels like Moon captures (or, at the very least, alludes to) something bigger than himself, a feeling I rarely find in a lot of contemp ambients.

Across these four tracks, Moon is able to assemble a dense ecosystem of sound, but it is done so deftly that you don’t immediately realise its depth until you’re standing at its peak.

What a ridiculous amount of depth to be contained within under 20 minutes. I'm almost grateful we only get Gi in small doses because I'm going to need a while to wrap my head around even this (but also, i'll happily take more, asap) ghosttropics

Such a stunningly beautiful debut album, which I discovered by accident. It was a near-instant purchase after listening to the first track! Impossible to pick a favourite as they reveal more upon each listen! Amongst the gorgeous cello melodies and airs, there's a strong sense of presence, process & physicality which is intimate yet grounding. A very meditative and peaceful aural experience. Thank you!
