Laurel Halo - Atlas (AWE001)
I’m thrilled to announce my next album, Atlas, is coming out September 22. The music can be loosely categorized as orchestral ambient jazz, and features friends and collaborators Bendik Giske, Lucy Railton, James Underwood and Coby Sey. It’s been five years since my last record.
Atlas is also the inaugural release on my new imprint Awe, following on from two and a half years of Awe on NTS.
The record is coming out September 22 on vinyl, CD and digital. The first single, 'Belleville', is a piano ballad which features a harmony stack with Coby Sey. You can pre-order the record over at the new Awe Bandcamp page, or any fine retailer of your choice. We're also working on a limited edition vinyl, as well as Atlas and Awe merch. Summer DJ and Fall Album Live tour dates below as well!!!
