Imagine if Eric Carle had been signed to Ghost Box, or if the ‘Look Around You’ team had ended up taking over the Radiophonic Workshop. If you can picture that kind of sound, we’re ready to welcome you to the Cosmic Neighbourhood.

Cosmic Neighbourhood’s ‘Gatherings’ is an album made for wild imaginations and deep daydreams. Its fourteen tracks provide the kind of trip you can take if you close your eyes tight enough and let your mind wander. It’s the music of small things, groovy sounds from way underground that’s inspired as much by Martin Rev and Moondog as it is by walking trees, pine cones catching the bus, nocturnal farmyard symphonies and the movements of butterflies reimagined through restless drum machines. Sounds good? Come join the gathering. There’s room for everyone.

Cosmic Neighbourhood is the musical alias of York-based illustrator and musician Adam Higton. Adam’s work encompasses comic strips, collage and sound art and documents the daily goings-on of the forest folk within the realm of the Cosmic Neighbourhood. Higton’s benign toots and echoing jingles bring to mind Daphne Oram’s early delay experiments or the meandering playfulness of Tom Cameron. Radiophonic and time-worn, it still somehow sounds like the future.

‘Gatherings’ follows previous Cosmic Neighbourhood albums ‘Library Vol 1’ and ‘Collages I’ and ‘II’. Previous Rivertones releases include spoken word and found sound collages by Robert Macfarlane and Chris Watson, poetry and elemental music by Will Burns and Hannah Peel, and the soundtrack to Wolfgang Buttress’ Hive structure at Kew Gardens by Be.

Orange vinyl LP in 300gsm sleeve with matt lamination and digital download code.
