Cheekbone EP Released
Hidden Shoal Recordings today announced the release of Yesterday, the wonderful debut EP by Japanese ambient electronica artist Cheekbone.
As if laced with some kind of electrical narcotic, Yesterday is at once luscious, disorientating and utterly enchanting. Cheekbone’s agile, amorphous brand of ambient electronica is constantly transforming, evoking the decay of light across space, agitated by human activity. It is music that constantly aches for a sense of nostalgic melancholy, pining for something that can only exist as memory and imagination. – Press Release Excerpt.
The EP is available in all good digital music stores including the HSR Store. A full press release is available for download and the EP can be previewed in full here.
