MMDIG002. iambic :: Echos. Released April 6th 2009. Guy Andrews, otherwise known as iambic is an ambient producer based near Brighton, UK. At the age of 21, and with two full length albums and two EPs released, he is already making a mark on the ambient electro-acoustic scene. iambic’s sound fuses elements of traditional instruments with electronics, generating a blend of ambient electro-acoustic post-rock with elements of nu-jazz and breakbeat. iambic’s first releases were the two LPs ‘Under These Stars, We’ll Sleep Again‘ and ‘As The Snow Fell‘ that came out on the Austrian based electronica label Laridae in 2007/2008. Since then, iambic’s global fan base has steadily risen and combined with creating a live act to perform the songs, labels such as Somnia, Frisk and Fluid Audio have added iambic to their roster with various releases scheduled over the next year.
A word from the Ward:
Maternity are delighted to be supporting Guy with is forthcoming release, Echos. His talent for balancing melodic, post-rock urgency with intricate electronics is something pretty special. Over these 7 tracks (including a radio edit of Transitions and a remix of Terra Firma by our very own Halogen), Echos explores many themes and subtle musical directions, which are given backbone by his charismatic production. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do…and for free as well! What A Bargain!
