Rhode & Brown - Good Things Come To Those Who Fade (2021)

On the "Good Things Come To Those Who Fade" Mini-LP, we take a left turn with seven oddball ambient and downtempo tracks made for kicking back in the cold months ahead.

We produced these tunes over the period of a few weeks in December 2020, between finishing songs for our debut album. At the time, we were both at home in lockdown and creatively stuck producing music for the dancefloor. So we rather unconsciously started writing music without expectations or a specific formula, which was very liberating. We started looking for unusual parts and tiny sounds on records from our vinyl collection, which we then time-stretched, pitched, deconstructed and looped endlessly. With these strange loops (they could be instruments, percussive elements or just noises) as a foundation, we started jamming with synthesizer melodies and effects using our Prophet 6, the Korg M1, and a few plug-ins, as well as random vocal material from YouTube. Aside from regaining that musical freedom and working with a naive beginner's mind, it was an incredibly soothing process for the soul during the tough time in lockdown. We hope the music has the same effect on you.

In addition to the digital release, the album will also be available as a limited edition cassette that comes with a premium „Good Night“ tea for endless relaxation.
