Isaac Helsen 'Before The Wind' [Digital]

Originally released as a two-track anonymous EP on Past Inside The Present, with Side A by 36 and Side B by Isaac Helsen. Artists were revealed after the LP sold out. "With this record we want listeners to go in blind, without ego or expectation, with the sole focus on what truly matters: the music. The artists and titles will remain anonymous until the vinyl sells out and then we will reveal all."

For this reissue, Isaac Helsen expands upon the narrative of Before The Wind with one new piece and a rework under the moniker Idle House. Additional rework contributors are City of Dawn, marine eyes, Slow Dancing Society, and Tegh, each reinterpreting the original piece with their unique style of experimental music.

Praise for the original release:

“This is bittersweet and beautiful ambient music that combines the widescreen vision of bvdub with chemtrail atmospherics that nod to William Basinski.” —Bleep
