Lake Turner returns to collaborate with his childhood friend & multi-disciplinary producer WEM. Having previously written music together for a BBC Natural History documentary, HBO's You Me Her & produced Ivor-Novello winning artist Scott Matthews & Charlie Cunningham, this is their first realisation of a record together. 

Beautifully melancholic & contemplative, Shelter On A Hill Pt, 1. is a beatless record which straddles the worlds of the electronic lush-calm akin to LFO / Mark Pritchard & the delay/ reverb drenched halo-chamber strings of Stars Of The Lid. Evocative field recordings sit under synthesis on opener Emerald Pool, which slowly unfolds into a manipulated, 'smiling through the tears', swirling transcendence. These are landscaped themes, the music conceived in a small lockdown bedroom in London, but crystallising the feeling of being far away in open fields and farms of where they grew up in Worcestershire. This is a memory trace of a rural sound ecology, the tape wobble & white noise across neoclassical synthscapes becoming a portal back to a world they left behind.
