Throwing_Snow_Mosaic_LP_Houndstooth

Hot on the heels of his luscious Pathfinder EP, UK mystic Throwing Snow presents us with his astonishing debut LP Mosaic.

This full-length album sets forth into uncharted stylistic territory, combining broken beats, strings, synths and bass into a mystical blend of psychedelic transmutation. Mosaic showcases an array of the exquisite vocal collaborations Mr. Ross Tones has been releasing on various EPs over the last few years.

The epic journey begins with a walk, then a sprint, into the dark sonic forest, and each song that follows takes you deeper into this new mythological world. Moody flavors of deep, rusty bass lines, Eastern strings, and ambient synths sift throughout. Tempos fluctuate from ghostly steps to dense layers of rapid-fire hits. Each track is a world in itself.

The majority of the album features vocal tracks with Adda Kaleh, KID A, Jessy Grez, Py, and Russell Morgan. Stateside artist Knox accompanies Tones on the production of the pleasantly sullen “Draugr”. The colossal tracks, “Pathfinder” and “Linguis” reflect sides of Throwing Snow’s ear for raw instrumentation.  “As You Fall” is a particularly striking moment from the album. “Saltare” is that right finale house tune bringing you back into the light.

Following the release of the album on Record Store Day, Throwing Snow released and played his three stellar VIP tracks from Mosaic at Rough Trade in London. A limited edition of 500 12″s, they are still available here.

Mosaic dropped June 2nd on Houndstooth and the album art comes with the new Layar augmented-reality app technology. Scan using the Layar app to watch the art created by Rick Robin come to life. Robin also produced the video for the single “The Tempest.”

Pick up the mp3 version on iTunes. Buy the heavyweight 180g double-vinyl version at the Hounstooth store, and get the WAV files free.
