Fabric's Houndstooth label present the emotive full length debut by Ross Tones (Throwing Snow) and Hannah Cartwright as Snow Ghosts. Like Various Production before them, Snow Ghosts occupy an etheric space between modern bass shapes and more timeless folk and pop song-writing with 'Small Murmuration'. Producer, Throwing Snow has tempered his wilder tastes for Footwork / Jungle / Garage / Hip Hop in ten cinematically-scoped scenes, including a highlight collaboration with Blue Daisy, constructing an immersive album powered by robust rhythms but dominated by the HD-rich scenery and Hannah's spectral vocals. Like we said, the Blue Daisy collaboration, 'Covenant' is an arresting centrepiece, a dark fantasia of symphonic synths and dynamic drum tension, following a theme set with the LOTR drama of 'The Hunted' and traced thru the sweeping strings and folk swoon of 'Murder Cries' to the expansive, Beth Gibbons-like downtime of 'Time Listens' and the Massive Attack potency of 'Untangle Me'.
