We introduced you to the stunning sounds of Umber back in June, Nottingham based Musician Alex Steward produced this brainchild. And one to be proud of.
Creating Ambient Post Rock with Folk Fusions.
Alex has recently released a new EP on behalf of Umber titled ‘Earth Feet, Lifted’.
Umber’s latest release finds young composer Alex Steward progressing from the humble surroundings of his bedroom in the countryside, to the grander backdrop of the city. These two tracks were originally composed for a collaborative live audio visual installation with film-maker Chris Shen and were performed at Manchester’s Free for Arts Festival in October 2011.
The new recordings find Alex utilising familiar elements which made ‘Morning’s Pass’ (his debut EP) so successful; electric swells, organic heart and uplifting and life-affirming melodies to create his unique sound of subtle euphoria.
