Emergence Collective- Swimming in the Early Hours
Operating in the liminal space between classical music, jazz and folk, and melding these genres with seamless grace, Emergence Collective, the Sheffield group of musicians creating beautiful, improvised soundscapes, release 'Swimming in the early hours' - the collective's first studio record which comes via Redundant Span Records. 'Swimming in the early hours' sees Emergence Collective continue to develop their unique sound, gently lit with moments of serene softness and quietly hypnotic grooves. The group had one day in the studio to record the album, going in with no plans, preparation or expectation - they simply picked a key to play in and waited for the music to unfurl, with all members helping to steer the sound. For a record that is so heavily planted in the idea of exploring music in real time, 'Swimming in the early hours' possesses a remarkable degree of poise and coherence which is being met with critical acclaim. "Emergence Collective stir things to life with a beautifully subtle yet hypnotic performance" - The Guardian - "The album unfurls in beautiful patterns, filled with a degree of subtlety, tenderness, restraint and a cohesion that belies it's improvisational foundation... it's remarkable" - Loud and Quiet - "Dislodged from time, fragments of older and folkier traditions seep into contemporary ones in their compositions with seamless grace, ornate patterns ambling through the reverberant space they're enclosed in." - The Quietus
