Spiritual Friendship

In 2005 Gareth Jones was hired to mix an album by Men, Women & Children, a group that Nick Hook (3) was playing keyboards in at the time. Connecting over a shared love of synths and the simple fact that they were the only two non-musicians in the room, Jones and Hook struck up a friendship. Nearly a decade after their first meeting, the two finally decided to get in the studio together, in late 2014. Guided by a simple premise—no judgement—and a whole lot of psychedelic adventuring, the pair went to work, letting their unconscious lead the way as they pieced together a complex suite of field recordings and modular synth transmissions.
