The new 4-track “Alluvial” EP has now been released by Latvian netlabel Elpa Music for FREE download (sorry for the slight delay).
The catalogue number is Elpa70 and you can find the label here: http://www.elpamusic.lv/. The release can also be found at its internet archive page: http://www.archive.org/details/elpa70.

The ‘Alluvial’ EP is inspired by geology, human prehistory and the idea of ‘deep time’ (I was reading about some of these subjects when producing the EP!). I have tried to express a sense of scale, which is in contrast to the more personal landscapes that inspire much of Northcape’s material. The result is this EP which contains four slow-building but still melodic tracks with a more ambient feel. Some of the tracks are inspired by the idea of human habitation in the distant past, and others by geological space- the release image is pretty much a landscape I was imagining when I was writing the tracks.
The sound is definitely an exploration of new ground – expect something a bit different from my normal approach to melodic electronica- but I think these tracks still keep a recognisable sound.
Thanks to Elpa for releasing this EP, they have released some great material in the past and I’m glad that this release will be on there.
