The phrase "Deliberate Ambient Music" has been the driving mindset behind
Coupler since the onset. The electronic undertaking from Ryan Norris has grown and expanded to include a number of like-minded collaborators that create atmospheric moods that maintain an active presence, never background noise. You've seen me speak of the band before with their improvised score to
Our Heavenly Bodies and now I'm proud to announce that they'll be releasing their next full-length album on
yk records.
Gifts from the Ebb Tide is four compositions spanning 30 minutes in total, each with their own pulsing and driving force behind them. While not a direct comparison, the worlds of Eno and Kraftwerk are certainly applicable influences.
You can listen to the second composition on the record, "Invention 2: Pattern Recognition", in the embed above or
right over here. The album, packaged in beautiful gatefold jacket with Sea Blue vinyl, is
available for pre-order, with a release date of November 17th, 2017.
