Peel

Released

One of the 2020s’ most elegant, moving releases in the world of experimental sound and ambient production, Peel found KMRU breaking through in a big way to a wider audience around the world. Recorded swiftly just weeks after the impact of COVID led to mass lockdowns, KMRU worked with found-sound sources to create subtly detailed, mesmerizing compositions, as much connected to implicit rhythm throughout, as the opening “Why Are You Here” shows, as to the power of transformative sonic serenity in the face of looming threat.
