{"product_id":"slow-meadow-by-the-ash-tree-upstream-dream-grey","title":"Slow Meadow- By the Ash Tree \/ Upstream Dream - Grey","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis vinyl edition includes two EPs, one on each side: \"By the Ash Tree\"and \"Upstream Dream\", originally recorded and released in 2020 and2021 respectively. To connect these compositions, Matt Kidd (SlowMeadow) composed new segues\/crossfades from song to song, allowingthe pieces to be experienced in one cohesive and harmonious flow.From Marc Weidenbaum's \"Disquiet\" review: \"Slow Meadow's newalbum, 'By the Ash Tree', opens with cascades of delays and proceedsthrough three tracks of reflective piano\". The title track of \"By the AshTree\" is one of Slow Meadow's most popular and enduringcompositions.\"Upstream Dream\" was composed around the time of 2019's HappyOccident. Soft electronics, bearing otherworldly tones and, at times, asense of playful mischief, subtly shift expectations and bring discoveryand wonder at every turn. It bookends a period of creative output thatintroduced Kidd's vision of calming and meditative ambient music. Witha foundation of piano, string orchestration, and an ever-evolvingelectronic palette, Slow Meadow traverses the borders of neoclassicaland minimalist electronics and delivers a deeply personal andtransportive experience that speaks directly to the ebbs and flows andmundanity and marvels of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrelude\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e By the Ash Tree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Quintana (Solo Piano)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Boy in a Water Globe (Solo Piano)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Outro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tragedy of the Commons (Alternate Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Adorned in Ribbons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Light Without Flame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tethered to the Earth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Tiny Ripple That Becomes A Giant Wave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Upstream Dream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e  ","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53091888267600,"sku":"6.62E+11","price":5.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/2762\/2480\/files\/4358526-3204337.jpg?v=1780311551","url":"https:\/\/noirrecordsuk.com\/products\/slow-meadow-by-the-ash-tree-upstream-dream-grey","provider":"Noir Records Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
