Earth Mother Spectral Pilot

Bristolian artist, illustrator and toymaker Ed Cheverton debuted as Earth Mother Spectral Pilot with a cosmology-inspired melodic ambient album on SWIMS. We are now treated to a long overdue re-release. Known for his features in publications like It's Nice That, Juxtapoz, and The Guardian, Cheverton widens his creative scope to music via a project that borrows its title from a series of comics of his. Influenced by ambient and atmospheric soundtracks, one can hear the connection to Kawai Kenji, Vangelis, and Japanese environmental music. The album is a musical accompaniment to visual works that spawned from a period of deep obsession with cosmology, and the sense of wonder, scale and discovery evoked by that journey. The pieces on the album grew from snippets of music, loops and improvised explorations that coalesced into a set of tracks that sit together as one 'project'.
