Description
2022, 12″ LP, Unseen Records. 45rpm.
Moiety is a great example of what makes Helios so special as an artist. The ambient hero wrote at the time of its original release that he had made it “as a gift”, explaining “it is my thanks to you for the support I’ve received over the years.” That was 2012, and it’s taken another decade for the producer to make what was a limited edition freebie more widely available, a decision that’s more than understandable. Having made ambient greatness since 2004, there’s plenty in the Keith Kenniff back catalogue that we would recommended exploring, but this outing is easily up there with the most beautiful and emotive. Focusing on refrain-based tracks, it’s a staggering example of how gradual developments of notes and tonality can be truly transportive. So sit back, close your eyes, and allow these eight pieces to take you where they want. – Juno
