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.
