darwin An excellent album - thanks! This reminds me of Black Tremor's first album, which was also great. Keep up the great work. Favorite track: Impending Bloom.

FDJ (Desert Psychlist) Was not sure what to expect when pushing play on this but was more than pleased to discover an album possessing a perfect balance of atmospheric heaviness and languid liquidity. This would make a great movie soundtrack! Favorite track: Fog Works.

Pumpkin Thierry Beneath the enigmatic cover photo hides an enigmatic music that mixes the darkness of doom, the groove of jazz and the hypnotism of post-rock. A beautiful and highly captivating instrumental project. Favorite track: A new-found Calm.

about

Did you ever feel the irresistible need to wander out into the dark streets of a warm city night and simply let the atmosphere overtake you? To keep walking underneath dimly lit street lamps that omit a warm, yellow tint of buzzing light? To explore previously unknown and hidden alleys in a place that you thought you knew so well? To ponder about endless possibilities that in the end all lead back to this very moment?

Well then, welcome to BLACK AIR – IMPENDING BLOOM.

Embrace the warm cloak of Jazz, Doom and Atmospheric Rock, that will surely guide you through this beckoning night.

IMPENDING BLOOM was recorded in a live studio setup in only three days. Just four people who share the same passion for music, getting together in a single room and creating the music they love.
