Viridescent A beautiful release from Jo, I keep coming back to this album.

Favorite track: An Unexpected Observation.

artistreader brilliant. unlike anything else in my ambient collection. often one can make one comparison or another. not here. not for me. brilliant.

orlandolovekill ...otherworldly...like listening to far-off tales of aquatic myths & star-glittered dances...sound tales of new godesses born and reigning...sound tales that have travelled across existence to hypnotise those drawn to the listening...it's all there, in the listening...find your place on this beating rock and listen...you'll be gifted with the intricate intimacies of Time's breathing...

So pleased to announce that next in the quiet details series is one of the most naturally talented musicians working today, the wonderful Jo Johnson, with Escape Now

Known and loved across the musical spectrum for her transcendent and deeply affecting synthesiser mastery - heard on the albums for labels such a Castles in Space, 9128.live, Apartment, Bleep43, Further, Going In, Mysteries of the Deep and her own self-releases; and in her much in-demand live performances.

Previously also on guitar and vocals in the revolutionary punk band Huggy Bear and other projects, Jo is a true musicians’ musician and has taken all this artistry and experience to create something stunning that goes beyond all expectations.

Escape Now is the music of an artist in brilliantly creative evolution - taking all the elements that make her so widely admired and building on them to take things to a new and mind-expanding sphere.

All the trademark gorgeously nuanced melody and harmony is present, deeply hypnotic and psychedelic - and now her synthesisers combine with a dazzling array of other sound sources and live instrumentation.
Recorder, voice, bells and harp join the analogue and digital synthesis to form a living whole - a vast universe that shows Jo’s unique blend of musical skills - wonderful performance technique, exquisite taste, and the ability to orchestrate it all together in the most elegant fashion.

Ever-shifting melodic sequences come in and out of view, soaring washes of chords mix with endless organic textures - at times a huge sound-world, at others intimate and delicate - always using sonic dynamics to create a beautiful and powerfully mesmerising atmosphere.

The album is perfectly balanced and takes us on a totally absorbing exploration through Jo’s musical mind - it’s a brilliant piece of work that I’m honoured to share with you.

Huge thanks to Jo - an incredible addition to the series.

The artwork was made as always influenced by the music and idea behind the album - originating from a photo from Jo which was then captured with analogue photography and processed here at quiet details studios.

As usual, the album is presented on the physical edition, a custom six-panel digipack with a separate fine art print too.

The CD also has a special long-form continuous mix of the album, created by the artists and representing the music in its purest form.

Where to start with the humble bee’s incredible body of work? This, along with the companion Nightmark, are two of my all time favs (from any artist) - stunning electro-acoustic tape manipulations. quiet details

Amazing album from synth genius Field Lines Cartographer on the always great Castles In Space. Ultra-deep synthetic textures mixed with field recordings, spaced long-form music to sink into. quiet details
