Temple of Spring

by Black Brunswicker

Full of golden warmth, a perfect balance to a grey rainy morning. Favorite track: Morning through my window.

TheSlowMusicMovement Nudging the folk & warm springtime melodicism above the distant early morning electronic haze the new LP from Black Brunswicker is a lovely fingerpicked, feelgood ambient folk soundtrack, ideal for all sorts of intimate moments & pastoral escapism.

Chris Richards Lockdown restrictions are easing here in the UK. Days are warmer, and new foliage is just starting to appear. What a perfect time to release Temple of Spring. Warm, granular, guitar-based ambient with a touch of nostalgia. This is music for reflective walks in nature or simply sitting watching the world wake again after a long winter. I really like the direction Black Brunswicker is taking with this album. Favorite track: Morning through my window.

about

Temple of Spring is a divergence from past releases as it draws back on ambience and textures in favor of acoustic fingerpicking and warm melodies. It’s music that celebrates the return of the sun after a cold dark northern winter spent locked up.

The tracks in this release are the results of a series of experimentations with tunings, capos/partial capos, and fingerpicking patterns.

we're all beside a wooded creek, laying on this silken mossy chord, listening as leaves tumble down in succession. the pond nearby catches each leaf and we sync our thoughts using the chain of ripples in the water. thanks a lot for this one. recommended for relaxation or when it just gets to be too much out there Ews Nsj
