Marta Mist - Windows [Sound In Silence 116]

Released via the long-standing Greek Ambient and beyond staple that is Sound In Silence on September 27th, 2k24 as the labels cat.no. 116 is "Windows", the latest, six tracks and roughly 34 minutes spanning album outing by Marta Mist, a collective musical effort mainly based around a core duo comprised of Gavin Miller a.k.a. worriedaboutsatan and Sophie Miller. Opening with the atmospheric and almost score'esque nocturnal drones and textures of "Allons-y, Mon Ami!" Marta Mist reveal a certainly Dark Ambient-informed musical approach followed by the similarly mystical and hypnotic skeletal PostRock drums and caressing organic bass sequences of "Patches" whereas "Puzzle" leans towards a friendly, almost rural and innocent PostRock variation and probably might be the go-to tune for extended sunset sets for dedicated ChillOut DJs and the likes of due to its airy vibe and subtle underlying catchiness evoking memories of German Post-PostRock outfits like Halma and likeminded bands. Furthermore we see "Otra Vez" on a slightly dubbed out, slightly oriental tip providing a timeless and most perfect soundtrack for a hot summers day out in the desert, "Good Luck, Amigo" is as well meaning and relaxing as its title promises with its twangy guitar melodies, panoramic Ambient layers and playfully arranged FutureJazz drums before "C'Est Tout, Les Amis" waves goodbye with a combination of dreamy piano and romantic, albeit slightly kitschy string arrangements which might fit well into the context of classic ChillOut locations like the infamous Buddha Bar and such.
