Our featured album this week is ‘Land of The Hearth,’ the brand new record by Manchester-based psych pop/indie/electronic musician Nicholas Wood aka Saccades (one-half of The KVB).
Land of the Hearth takes its name from a passage by Jonathon Meades and signals a transition for Nicholas Wood, moving away from The KVB’s nocturnal soundscapes and industrial beats, and embracing a more Balearic sensibility.
The press release description “the album boasts a sun-kissed, dreamlike quality, occasionally nodding to the uplifting vibes of house music” couldn’t be more accurate.
