The kind of thing I love coming across by chance. Ultramarine, an electronic duo who play a fascinating meld of techno, ambient, prog and folk that intrigues and soothes.
Hailing from Canterbury where my beloved parents are, latest album Send & Return hums and whirrs. There are echoes of Canterbury's musical past here. Robert Wyatt comes to mind..
They go back some way, having formed in the late Nineties and beaten a similar drum to Orbital, Autechre and Aphex Twin
Like most music of this kind, it's probably best heard in full late, at night with headphones on. That's what I did and what I suggest you do the same. This builds and builds, brimming with a stoic calm that's really quite impressive.
