Dawn Again – Pints Of Ambient Nectar

When an album announces itself as ‘pub-wave’, featuring a watercolour nautical scene on its picture sleeve, you naturally go in with an expectation of a certain vibe. Pints of Ambient Nectar delivers on this promise, and the sonics inside the sleeve are warm synth pads and long delays that stretch out in glorious stereo.

This record, from the Melbourne-based Dawn Again, feels like a cross between Gaussian Curve and your favourite blanket when it’s raining outside. With track titles like ‘A Day In The Life of Pond Algae (Ambient Mix)’, and clean, stretched-out, spacious tones, this is a record that will transport you to your happy place after a long day at work.
