Ocean Moon – Shimmering States

After thoroughly enjoying Exotic Gardens’ Afternoon Dubs, we had to take a deeper dive into label Pinchy & Friends’ back catalogue to get a fix of their dubbed-out, soundscape, ambient bliss.

We found ourselves faced with Shimmering States, a 12 inch EP by Ocean Moon. Ocean Moon is Jon Tye, a man with a 30+ year career including running LO RECORDINGS, and being a part of MLO, Seahawks, Cherry Garcia, and Brain Machine.

Shimmering States’ title track boasts a 16+ minute run time, throwing you deep into eternal infinity as lush electronic synth pads wash over you and breakbeats lightly scatter around in full stereo.

 
The b-side features two more wondrous journeys through sound baths, with Hidden Treasures taking on a more downtempo tip whist final track Reflecting Light heads into deconstructed territory. Really special stuff.
