about

‘Polar Living’ is the debut album by the original Home Normal curators: Ben Jones and Ian Hawgood. It was originally released by Resting Bell in 2007, but has since been remastered and edited. The recordings feature analog synths with field recordings made during time Ian spent back in the UK with Ben during a handful of vacations that became intensive recording sessions. They have since worked under their ‘Wraith vs Wrath’ guise for more long-form drone work and installation pieces, but are currently recording their follow-up to ‘Polar Living’ as Lost Lanterns due out late 2018 on their Home Normal label.

Thank you.

Even if he says otherwise, Ian Hawgood is super prolific and incredibly talented in not only his own releases, but in collaborations and with the heart & soul put into the labels he's run over the years. Saying all that, this is a more recent favorite release of Ian's: peaceful, deceivingly simple (yet not!) piano works that is personal, elegant and graceful in its warmth and presentation. Plus it's for a wonderful cause. Get it!! Joe Borreson

Faintly Recollected
by Ian Hawgood + Danny Norbury

supported by 51 fans who also own “Polar Living”

As much as I love a variety of ambient, I'm not sure if I've ever listened to an album that has moved me to tears, not like this. Certainly there are strong moods that some ambient can evoke, but this really surprised me. There is grief here, but transcendent joy, too. shoto
