”I guess you could say that this is the outcome of a great need for escapism. I’m not the biggest fan of the current timeline, so I wanted to make something pretty, splashy, colourful and quirky just for myself. Embracing simplicity in a way of leaning towards maximalism without getting too suffocated. It’s a ’dear diary’-kinda album….” Otto Taimela returns with his second album for London ambient free divers SWIMS, following 2024’s celebrated "Inner Beauty".
"Uncommon & Fragile" departs from Otto's meadowed, ivory-centric introspections, reaching further into binaural sound design, trance pointillism, and groundswells of angular percussion. This is less a club record, more something to soothe post-rave tinnitus on the bus home.
