Kevin McCormick - Passing Clouds (2024) [Hi-Res]

After a 40-year hiatus since his last album, Kevin McCormick has returned to recording with this new album Passing Clouds which builds on his retrospective works Light Patterns and Sticklebacks, both of which were released in recent years through the Smiling C label. The artist's daily obsession with writing music and exploring sound reignited his inspiration and this album, he says, reflects his love of sky watching and peaceful places. Across several sessions, he used electric and acoustic guitars, bass and simple analogue equipment like valve reverb, tremolo and tape delay while a violin bow adds drones and ambient textures through a tape looper. The result is some superbly heartwarming Balearic sounds.
