Across the Snow - Ghost Ships (2014) EN

The solo project of the young Jackson Harden of Provo, Utah. Check out the images in Google after typing in this name. There's a huge Wasatch Range towering above the city. You can only imagine how it is to live your life in its shadow, how it teaches humility and wonderment over the biopowers. You can sense those frosty gods from the mountaintops in Harden's music.

Ambent beauty of AtS music resembles breaking through the snow when frost's crunching under your boots and your nose's getting numb from cold. And apart from that there's nothing there, just the white static. Ambient.

Exactly like under the surface of water, in the depths of arctic seas. It's important because the album tells the stories of ghost ships from XVIII century SS Octavius to the quite recently spotted at the coasts of Alaska SS Baychimo. You can hear it in AtS's music when the ships stops being mute with the pulsating radar or their bottom meeting the underwater rocks.

"Ghost Ships" was recorded in Cloud Factory Recordings. You can get it for free.
