“I knew I wanted to push it forward. Make it more unusual. Vol. 1 was me making my mark - a statement. This time, I wanted to continue the vibe of the first release but push into different areas of song structure and explore new sonics and sounds. It’s got all the Ambient Soul attributes in there - the horns, the laid-back beats, the simple, wobbly guitars - but there’s even more esoteric electronics, wonky drum machines and retro broken sci-fi synths.”
If clattering Four Tet beats meshed with nursery rhymes, oddball electronic aliens having a dance with ‘Mood Safari’ period Air, the Boards of Canada stuck in a lift with Vangelis and maybe David Gilmour being forced to play on some trip-hop are your thing, you’ve come to the right download section.
Vol 2 is the second Metalabel release from Graeme Worsfold after the platform success of the first volume. It includes four instrumental tracks created from the collision of ambient and soul music recorded during the autumn and winter of 2024/25 in rural Maidenhead, Berkshire in the UK.
The second digital Drop of the Four Track series follows the formula of Vol. 1 by including four videos produced to support each piece. This is an initial run of 100 downloads. Demand dependant, a full vinyl Drop will follow.
