DJ aKimbo Definitely agree with M.C., below. This set me aglow. I came to Skyminds via Shapes & Traces but I like this one even more. Favorite track: Farther Reaches.

TheSlowMusicMovement A lovely slowly drifting LP of new age of New Age vibes, cosmic folk and ambient endeavour.

M.C. Each track sounds distinctive and different, yet the album coheres beautifully. Makes my ears and heart glow. Delicate-yet-lush layers like a blooming peony. BEST OF 2019! Favorite track: Morning Way.

about

Selected press for "Skyminds":

The album is united by a dense, electrifying pulse that can only come from two human beings deeply in tune with each other’s intuitions. Bright shimmer the guitars and deep drink the drums from the well of sheer joy... Skyminds is a crowning achievement for Henning and Conrad" - Underscore Music Magazine

"They also expand amiably on the synth duo dynamic with forays into desert dub, radiant high plains guitar shimmer, and meditative acoustic strum. Henning and Conrad melt their psychedelic float into a record that ripples like mountains out the window, calming as a sine wave but also rather breathtaking as the full horizon unfolds." - Raven Sings The Blues

"Their debut eponymous album reveals itself like a book of short stories, all songs loosely related in their authorial voice, but each detailing a separate tranquil world to get lost in... timeless tales of inner cultivation and celestial beauty." - Cassette Gods

"Not surprisingly, there's a generous amount of blissout on offer, yet the two change things up in surprising ways, too." - Textura
