Northcape

Northcape is the ongoing work of a British artist, and can broadly be described as downtempo melodic electronica. The new Northcape album "Exploration and Ascent", the follow-up to 2010's Captured From Static and 2011's Alluvial EP, will be released by Sun Sea Sky Productions in early 2013. The aim is to express ideas and evoke environments, landscapes and memory rather than to focus on the technology and techniques used. Although most tracks don't have lyrics, they are all drawn strongly from personal experience. Current work continues to widen and deepen Northcape's style of electronica, bringing in influences from a wide range of genres including IDM, electronica, shoegaze and ambient music. Previous releases include a first self-released CD in 2005, a second independent release ('Detach') in 2007 and an EP ('Some Bright Valley EP') on the Monotonik netlabel. Read more on Last.fm.
