Swimming - Ellipses

Review by George Bass

'Organic ambient' is the term they use now, and Ferrucci’s pretty good at it: without once raising his heart rate he skirts a rainbow of feelings, ticking off the four moods ambient music provokes (stoned, exhilarated, stoned while exhilarated and asleep).»

Swimming blurs the lines between what's played
and what's placed, managing a wealth of detail but
allowing acres of space between the instruments. In
Devon’s own words, “For me, this album is a bit like
whispering vague, almost inaudible, advice into the
mirror”. Attempting to capture ineffable emotions and
sensations, it is music as process, stretching toward
the horizon.
