Northern Latitudes was inspired by two field recordings made by Chris Watson for a CD called ‘The Sea Ice Border’. It comprises of two recordings: 89 24 N Below and 89 24 N Above. Both feature in the mix at the beginning and end. The music in between was chosen based on the feel of those sounds.

Diamond Mine is the work or maybe I should say the pleasure of King Creosote & Jon Hopkins. It is the most beautiful album I’ve heard in a long long time, the use of field recordings take you inside the solitude of the singer for a deeply moving experience. Album of the week without a doubt, listen in full below!

King Creosote and Jon Hopkins are to release a collaborative album through Domino Records on 28th March titled Diamond Mine. You can get your first taster here.
