Seahawks - Time Enough for Love - VINYL LP

In the fall of 2022, legendary UK chill-out institution Seahawks - aka Jon Tye and Pete Fowler - landed in Los Angeles for the first time in their 15-year history, with plans to record a sweeping new age downtempo Inchexploration of visionary California.Inch Instead, they immediately fell ill with flu (Fowler collapsed next to a taco truck; 911 was called), and were bedridden for the better part of a week. Upon recovering, they resituated at the synthesizer sanctuary of Brian Foote (Peak Oil, Kranky, Leech), channeling their post-sickness psychedelia into one of the band's lushest and most elevated creations to date Time Enough For Love.Inspired by the Inchgroove and moodInch of Harry Nilsson demos, as wel as it's wider 70's wavelength - Rhodes, Wurlitzer, wood paneling - Tye and Fowler transposed their classic post-rave ambient exotica onto a warm and woozy Golden State palette. Buoyed by the liquid touch of English maestro Kenny Dickenson on keys, the results rank high among the duo's smoothest and most multi-sensory voyages. InchSail Across The MoonInch delivers on it's title, a simmering, phaser-smeared cruise through the beauty of the night. InchMessengersInch echoes the cosmic lounge of Air's Moon Safari, shuffling, weightless, and ethereal, while InchFalling DeepInch reaches for the stars, pure cascading bliss, the ecstatic moment writ large.The album skews steadily more astral as it progresses, drifting towards jazzy, galactic outer reaches. InchLike A Grain Of SandInch opens with a spoken sample by hte celebrated late American poet Rachel Sherwood (InchThe children watch, breathless / with the birds / They feel an emanation / from this shuddering placeInch), before taking flight on a Balearic trip through island house, PM Dawn gold dust, upright bass meditation, and kaleidoscopic light. A remix of the title track by Chicago trio Purelink closes the record in
