WTL & The Revenant Sea Sightings
There have been a number of sightings of WTL & The Revenant Sea over these past few weeks, popping up in all kinds of wonderous aural collections.
WTL’s ‘The Maddening Machine’ could be witnessed during The Geography Trip‘s wonderful ‘Shoreline Ascent’ mix for Laica 23‘s ‘Numbers Broadcast’

And on another Geography Trip, this time into the wilds of The Progress Blog, WTL’s ‘How It Starts’ was glimpsed in the shadows.
The exquisite Rano Records (Ohio) took The Revenant Sea on its first outing during his ‘Outer Church Confessional’ mix for Joseph Stannard’s ‘The Outer Church‘ where ‘It’s Been Following the Plane Since Moscow’ was showcased.

The Ephemeral Man (whose ‘Nacreous Clouds’ album throws you deep into a Quatermass rave and drags you out the other side into a shoreline chill-out plagued by the sci-fi nightmares of the night before) has incorporated The Revenant Sea’s ‘Induced Mutations for Accelerated Domestication’ into his excellent ‘Ghosts & Goblins’ mix for Alrealon Musique.

The Revenant Sea at Auditory Field Theory
The album I’m making for Auditory Field Theory as alter-ego The Revenant Sea is now finished!
The album features four tracks of “… dark, ambient soundcapes surrounded by ominous dark skies weaved of intricate aural tapestries. The Revenant Sea is a haunting, beautiful and inter-dimensional work, worthy of deep exploration…” and will be released on limited cassette and as a download in March.
All is now in the hands of master masterer Andrea Marutti and AFT’s eternally enthusiastic EK to do their magic behind the scenes.
Sound clips and stuff soon!
For now have a listen to track 1 from the release ‘It’s Been Following the Plane Since Moscow’.

More Revenant Sea
Separate to The Revenant Sea collaboration with Justin Wiggan in his Roadside Picnic guise, I have been working on a Revenant Sea EP. The EP is untitled at the moment but I have been busy in the studio recording, constructing and mixing and here is the first result of those sessions…
More info on this soon!

We are very proud to announce our side-project The Revenant Sea.

Enjoy!

PS Release details coming soon …
End of Year Lists
It is incredibly humbling to make any end of year list and we are so proud to have our album ‘The Failed Silence‘ included on three such lists.
First up is Joseph Stannard‘s vast list of genre spanning sounds which sees ‘The Failed Silence’ set alongside albums by Van Halen, The Beach Boys, oh/ex/oh, TVO, Patti Smith, Howlround and fellow First Fold Records labelmates Them Use Them.
Next up ‘The Failed Silence’ was included by An Taobh Tuathail‘s Cian Ó Cíobháin on his list of favourite LP’s from the fourth quarter of this year. Again it is such a thrill to be on there alongside First Fold label mates Them Use Them.
Finally Mr Leigh Wright (aka Ephemeral Man) picked us to be on his list. Another eclectic list which sees ‘The Failed Silence’ alongside albums by Grimes, Haxan Cloak, Grizzly Bear, Max Richter and Blur.
Thank you all, we appreciate your support and for helping to spread our music!
Thanks
2012 has been an incredible year for WTL and it is down, in no small part, to the support and interest of a small band of renegades:
First Fold Records: Stuart Tonge, Ben Sadler, Gareth Courage
Co-creators & collaborators: John Guilor, Matteo Uggeri, Andrea Marutti, Paul McIntyre
Opportunity makers/ supporters: Joseph Stannard, The Outer Church, Lapin Radin, Des Cendres a la Cave, Cian Ó Cíobháin, An Taobh Tuathail, Stuart Maconie, Craig Earp, The Geography Trip, Ephemeral Man, Ian Larsen
The brilliant, patient and understanding: Stephanie Bithell
And of course our Facebook and Twitter followers and everyone who bought ‘The Failed Silence’.
Thanks to each and every one of you!
