Ambient explorers SWIMS come up trumps with the debut record by London musician and visual artist Loz KeyStone, and Glaswegian electronics tamperer and jazz trumpeter Christos Stylianides. “Craobh Haven” is the dreamlike product of a week’s residency in a little cabin in the Scottish village of the same name. While KeyStone’s whirling touches of Moog, guitar and space echo suggest the murky, placid vastness of the record’s setting, the pitch-shifted, probing trumpet of Stylianides soars and stacks countermelodies like vapour trails braided in the Hebridean atmosphere. For a record made out of loch water, basalt pinnacles and mud – it is surprisingly tuneful and sometimes almost groovy. Recommended if you like Jon Hassell, Roméo Poirier, Spillage Fete.
