The fear of landing on water, by Fossil Hunting Collective

The fear of landing on water

by Fossil Hunting Collective

supported by

Sihou A magnificent album consisting of insinuating and fragile atmospheres unobtrusively penetrating into the very depths of the soul and enveloping consciousness. Slender compositions about internal states and a long immersion in oneself.
I would like to listen to this album over and over again and come back to it again!

Do not miss the delicate and grandiose collaboration of Bred and Jamie: ambientologist.bandcamp.com/album/fluorochrome

Ambientologist Ever complex, and ever challenging, FHC delivers yet another question of comfort. What feel like inviting tones have a way of transforming themselves into something far more anxious, more uncertain, but ultimately more rewarding.

The manipulated speech samples only serve to amplify the ambiguity and thought-provoking nature of the music. Affective guitar tones provide a welcoming base, while the occasional interjection prompt the listener to dig a little deeper.

released October 20, 2019

Mastered by Ian Hawgood at Mokoshi
Album artwork by the fabulous Richelle Forsey: www.richelleforsey.com

All tracks and instruments performed, recorded and mixed by Jones.
Field recordings gathered, created and recorded from various locations across Ontario.

'After releasing the epic and glacial EP 'Ghost Stories For The Hard Of Hearing' (link below),
Aural Tethers is proud to release AT001 with the brand new, full length from Fossil Hunting Collective 'The Fear Of Landing On Water'.

This seven track release boasts a sharp sonar for evocative and elegant ambient terrain. Patient waves of effects and dissonance calms the shores that shelter inflections of post rock sensibilities.
FHC is no new comer to the world of experimental or ambient music, also one half of the dark ambient drone outfit (ph)authers. It's audible early on that FHC is a master at crafting shape shifting worlds within each track.
Inviting yourself into a realm of glimmering melancholic guitar tones, reverberated pads and lucid delay tails. Snippets of field recordings and found sound are splayed out through TFOLOW, wistfully embedded spoken word segments guide you along through the long halls of the fossil hunting collective's authentic brand of spacial terrain'.

A wonderful musical collection that shows the unity of the whole world and the support of Ukraine during the long war, which will undoubtedly end with the victory of Ukraine. And now the terrible numbers... Only according to official data as of today #russiaisaterroriststate killed 510 children in Ukraine, injured another 1141 children, kidnapped 19546 children. There are many more unofficial victims. And russia remains a member of the UN... desynkro303

There is nothing for you here. Go home to where you are loved. Here, there is ash And only the ghosts Of your dreams, The pain of a world transfixed by hate And our humanity dissolving In the acid of our tears. nmcr01

Impressive work by Zaké, yet again. The album has a personal, almost intimate core, brought by the addition of field recordings, opening a window into the artist's mind. Mathieu M.
