Kochan Touching, lovely ambiance. I am used to having my minimalist guitar drone in lo-fi mode, but this one is recorded flawlessly.

Alberto Gustaffson Shannon did a beautiful thing, truly soothing and comforting. Built around exploring the sonic frontiers, Room at Sea demonstrates how little an artist needs to create so much.
Favorite track: Ink Wells.

The Serial Chiller Dreamgaze straight out of heaven, soundtracks for dreams of liminal spaces. Musee Mecanique is my top pick. Endless humming for eternal slumber.

Favorite track: Musee Mecanique.

about

Ephemeral Arts is pleased to partner with Shannon Ferguson on his first solo release "Rooms At Sea" released today on limited edition 10" sea green vinyl.

Known for his celebrated guitar work with New York City's indie rock band Longwave, whose career launched in the early 2000s with several releases on RCA Records and multiple world tours, Ferguson has also scored for film (Pillhead), television, and a wide array of multimedia projects.

Rooms at Sea was recorded at Ferguson's own Breathing Canyon studio in Lagunitas, California, during the first half of 2020. Primarily using a baritone guitar, a Casio sk-1 (the classic '80's "toy" sampling keyboard), and an analog delay pedal that Ferguson designed and built himself.

"Selkies" is the lead track from Shannon Ferguson's record Rooms At Sea, out this Spring on the Ephemeral Arts label.

An atmospheric abstraction that recalls the liquid guitar melodies that featured prominently as his aural signature (and would not be out of place in his Longwave work), “Selkies” comes wrapped in baritone guitars, distant home-made delays, illusory synths, and with a propulsive, driving backing rhythm that places it firmly between ambience and anthem. An instrumental that defiantly moves out of the sphere of “rock music.”

I : Golden Head
by Sol Ether

supported by 8 fans who also own “Rooms At Sea”

A solid debut from a promising band, Golden Head is one hell of a first statement. My favourite pick would be Morrigan, the track truly highlights everything Sol Ether has to offer. Deeply mystical work that resonates on a subconscious level, appealing to instincts and fears rather than betting on shock value. And those vocals - it’s pure primal rage Mr Shredder
