about

Following up from his successful self released Red Tape album, Harlech based producer Gavin Brick, aka The Metamorph, has outdone himself with 'Return To Splendour', his first release for Werra Foxma Records, and the label's first ever pressed vinyl release.

'The title felt like it had the right amount of grandeur without being grandiose - rather like the music' explains Gavin, who creates his amazing soundscapes in his spectacular Neon Nebula Studio, with all parts played by hand with no computer sequencing. Originally recorded as a session for the highly influential Magic Window radio show, hosted by Steven Anderson (Letters From Mouse), the decision was made to make it a full release on WFR.

From the icy isolation of Opening Titles, to the warm piano tumbles and old world vocal samples of The Visible World, to the soaring, major key majesty of Slumber Submerged, Return To Splendour reaches the places that few beatless, ambient releases reach.

Return To Splendour is available to pre order on Download and 10" vinyl from 6 August 2021, with the full release on 3 September 2021.

The first 50 orders on Bandcamp will receive an exclusive 10" companion architectural art print, hand numbered by the Metamorph.

Fascinating chat with Mr. Concretism. Great to hear about his synths and software and the track by track analysis of The Concretism Archive vol.1 adds to the listening experience - more of that sort of thing please! Infinite Tapes
