Thom Brennan's Mountains is one of the finest and most ambient offerings that Thom Brennan had made thus far. Thom Brennan's Mountains explores deep and profoundly resonant sonic atmospheres that evoke the beauty of moonlight shining down upon a mountainous peak as one watches from miles away. This is an excellently consonant recording and one that is firmly based in the sounds of beautiful synthesizer music, along the lines of Steve Roach's quieter stuff, including Quiet Music-Complete and The Dream Circle. This recording is interesting because it's as if all of the sequenced beats and drumming have been removed from Thom Brennan's beautiful work and listeners are left instead with these slowly evolving sonic timbres. In places Thom Brennan's sequenced rhythms do come into play, but they are not as prominent as they are in some of his other works. Mountains is a fantastic recording, and one that is very accessible to fans of space, new age, electronic, and ambient music alike. This is a great recording, and one that is highly recommended.

Surprise drop from the trio who haven’t worked together since 2011, perhaps produce of a year spent in lockdown, perhaps unheard material from nearly a decade ago.. Thom Yorke’s vocals take centre stage, sat on top of decaying piano motifs and trademark Burial production drenched in his signature greyscale atmosphere.

Out of extended improvisations…organically evolving soundtracks for imaginary places, journeys, stories and landscapes…an unfolding drama in electronic sound created in real time on synthesizers by Thom Brennan. Recordings have appeared internationally on Rubicon, Oreus/Polygram Musique, Projekt, Arya/Amplexus, IC Records, Fortuna, Zero Music, and his own private label Rain Garden Music.
