“Visual beauty, tactility and mesmeric kinetics are just as important to his creations as the sounds their movements facilitate” - Electronic Sound“He’s a bit of a genius I think. Based up in the highlands, maker of machines, music and art” - Mary Anne Hobbs, BBC 6 Music‘Under This Hunger Moon We Fell’ is the new album from the uniquely talented, multi-instrumental artificer Lomond Campbell, the third and final instalment of his experiments using tape loops at the heart of his music making process.The album ranges from soft, delicate atmospheric musings such as ‘Bastard Wing’ and ‘Leave Only Love Behind’ to the dark electronics of ‘And They Are Afraid Of Her’ and ‘Phonon For No One’, which Campbell describes as “akin to a massive machine starting up, like a huge sinister power mobilising.”During its gloomier moments, ‘Under This Hunger Moon We Fell’ buries tonally ambiguous ambience underneath hazy, distorted textures created via the gradual degradation of the tape. It creates a dream-like backdrop with a moody undertone created by deep basslines and hulking percussive elements, blended with orchestral sounds that add an air of humanity.

Stunningly imagined and brought to life this is truly soulful, heavenly music grounded in the landscape. Another belter from Lomond!
