“This EP is our attempt to reinterpret and reimagine the electronic ambient branch of krautrock of the 1970s,” the band explains. “We’ve drawn partial inspiration from listening to the music from that era of bands such as The Cosmic Jokers, Cluster, Cybotron, and others.” Built as a continuous suite, the EP reflects a conceptual cohesion at its core: “Initially, the material was conceived as a monolithic 20-minute composition, with its sections flowing seamlessly from one to the next. In this release, we experiment for the first time with non-input mixer synthesis, and it also marks our first studio release with the new drummer.”
As the five-part piece evolves over its running time, each track finds a certain instrument brought to the fore – respectively, the Synth, Flute, Drums, Mixer and Guitar. Melding deep kosmische ambience with exploratory textures and evolving rhythmic structures, ‘Promigña’ is both a tribute to the krautrock’s early electronic pioneers and a step forward for Sherpa The Tiger’s ever-evolving sound.
