After releasing his
sophomore album,
In Distance,
We're Losing,
last August,
Toronto-based
ambient composer
Alaskan Tapes
kick started 2018
with a string
of split singles.
With four
under his belt
(eight songs total),
as well as
he has already
provided plenty
for this calendar year
and it's only
halfway over.

Rather than
sit back,
Alaskan Tapes
has progressed
even further with
his newest LP,
You Were Always
an Island.
At ten songs,
the neoclassical release
is a meditative journey.

The full-length
is a piano-driven
dreamscape that takes
to the outdoors,
where melancholic isolation
sways with elements
of relaxed seclusion.
Press play
and dream
a little easier,
drift a little lighter,
and soak every
moment of the day.
