Two years on from their widely acclaimed third album, Greg Dowling and Shane Johnson are back on the Go Deep label with their latest long player.
What I Mean By Beautiful touches on the previous collection’s themes of upheaval and dislocation, digging through the lost and found of modern life and always looking for light in dark places.
The album marks something of a return to the duo’s house music roots, with a four-to-the-floor foundation underpinning many of the eleven tracks, over a wide range of tempos. It exudes a warm, natural sound, where samples sit with modular synths, programmed drums with live loops, and quirky plugins with obscure outboard gear.
Available from November 24th on all digital platforms. Limited edition gatefold double vinyl available to pre-order now.
