Noonday Dream

Singer-Songwriter · 2018 · 12 tracks

Noonday Dream

A sprawling, liquid masterpiece of ambient folk. Drenched in reverb and heat-haze, it trades traditional song structures for immersive, coastal soundscapes.

June 1, 2018 · Island Records

A serene yet slightly unsettling drift through sun-drenched, solitary landscapes.

Moments Worth Listening For

The way the electric guitar whines like a soaring bird over the dusty, rhythmic pulse of Nica Libres at Dusk.

The transition from the sparse, haunting interlude of All Down the Mines into the driving, low-thrumming energy of The Defeat.

The seven-minute slow-burn of A Boat to an Island on the Wall where the soundscape gradually dissolves into a wash of feedback and ocean-like noise.
