I've
posted about Davis before and if there are future releases, I'm sure I'll post about Davis again. His latest release,
Beacon Hill, builds on the practices of the prior release,
Rime, combining ambient soundscapes, a touch of noise and something entirely unique.
"Ambient" is a bit of a misnomer in this scenario because it's not music that falls entirely to the background. The presence of these compositions are active and
felt - particularly "Broken" and "Blackout Lullaby", as they are giving undeniably active and optimistic vibes.
Much of the EP does have a foreboding and dark vibe but not in an oppressive or punishing ways. These songs can lean into something unseen and creepy but that tension itself is engaging.
The cover art is apt - a bright light amongst the incredibly dark surroundings.
