Eric Hilton - Out Of The Blur [Clear Vinyl]

Limited clear vinyl LP pressing. 2024 release from downtempo electronic producer Eric Hilton, his first full length album of ambient music. Out of the Blur is Hilton's debut release for the Emerald Wave label, a new imprint specializing in healing music. Eric Hilton's masterful ability to combine disparate musical genres was well established as co-founder of the globally successful downtempo group Thievery Corporation. But for Out of the Blur, a more reductive compositional approach was required. "What you leave out in ambient music is as important as what you include," says the producer. "I don't have a background making ambient music, this is definitely a different kind of record for me. Ambient music is inherently ambiguous, transporting you to a place that isn't really well defined. But I think it's the absence of answers, that formlessness, that makes this kind of music so emotionally impactful."
