LOS ANGELES—Darkside guitarist Dave Harrington and ambient musician Tim Mislock announced Tuesday the upcoming release of their new album, Isle Of Palms. This marks the duo’s second collaboration, following their 2019 LP Hollywood Visit. The new record was reportedly recorded over a single, uninterrupted afternoon. Sources close to the project confirmed that the primary inspiration for Isle Of Palms was the act of falling asleep.
The Sound Of Silence, But With More Synthesizers
Harrington and Mislock described the recording process as highly intuitive. “We just sort of let the sounds happen,” said Harrington, a self-proclaimed “professional vibe curator.” He continued, “Sometimes, a sound would happen, and we’d think, ‘Yes, that’s exactly what a mild headache feels like.'” The album features extended tracks designed for deep contemplation, or possibly a brief, restorative nap. Many songs reportedly clock in at over twenty minutes. This length is ideal for achieving REM sleep. The duo hopes Isle Of Palms will become a staple for insomniacs. They also anticipate its use in yoga studios. It is perfect for poses that require stillness.
‘Help On The Wave’ Crashes Gently Into Your Eardrums
The lead single, “Help On The Wave,” exemplifies the album’s minimalist approach. Its nearly 18-minute runtime features subtle shifts in texture. Listeners might hear the gentle hum of a refrigerator. They might also detect the distant whine of a mosquito. Mislock, who also holds the title of “Chief Relaxation Officer,” explained the single’s concept. “It’s about the feeling of being almost awake, but not quite,” he stated. “Like when you’re dreaming you’re falling. But instead of falling, you’re just floating. Slowly. Forever.” Hear “Help On The Wave” and decide for yourself if it’s music or a public service announcement. The full Isle Of Palms album will be available on all major streaming platforms. It is scheduled for release in two weeks. Learn more about ambient music at Wikipedia.
At press time, Harrington and Mislock were reportedly already deep into recording their next album, tentatively titled The Sound Of A Single Drop Of Water Falling In An Empty Room.
