The work of UK
duo Snowpoet
has been soothing
my soul since 2015.
Blending ambient
soundscapes with poetic
narratives and harmonies,
the music is a combination
of ambient mixed
with classical and a sprinkle
of folkloric mysticism
for good measure.
After releasing their
debut album
in 2016 and
a solo EP
from producer Chris Hyson
late last year
(on his birthday;
I always like when
artists do that),
the duo returned
for the full-length
Thought You Knew.
The ten song album
is a walk through
winter, an umbrella
in a storm, a crackling
fireplace. Something
to warm you up
when it's cold, and chill
you out when it's hot.
Hopefully they'll make
it across the pond
to Chicago soon enough.
