Koova - Explorer 183 (2023)

Expert knob twiddler, Koova, conjures up a torrent of atmospheric, emotional electronics for his first solo release in over 5 years. Using a vast array of vintage synthesisers and modular gear, he takes the listener on an immersive journey through the nooks and hollows of his native rural Essex - the inspiration and location behind "Explorer 183".

From the precisely-crafted rhythms of "Northward End" and "Shallow Bowells" to the sinister undertones of "Old Hides" and "The Tunway", this is a delightful departure from his usual style and shows a mature, focused direction for his sound.
