Spheruleus - Colossian

Colossian is the first single off of the upcoming full-length ‘Light Through Open Blinds’ (Out July 26th, 2019) from Lincolnshire, UK based artist, Spheruleus (aka Harry Towell). The album was created as a kind of sonic journal, as Towell strived to document the sounds of his house after he and his wife became home owners in September 2016. These experiments have lead to one of the most catchy, personal, and homespun albums of his career.

Towell’s Spheruleus project has explored a wide array of musical moods over the years. A particular favorite of ours was his 2015 release, ‘Peripheres’ for Eilean Records. That album crept into our hearts with its intimate acoustic instrumentation and liberal use of head-nodding micro rhythms, seemingly constructed from every found sound at his disposal including the kitchen sink. When Spheruleus first shared this approach, it came to us with an instant dose of nostalgia, reminiscent of the heyday of electro-acoustic bedroom oddities during the late 90’s/early 2000’s. That time period introduced us to acts and labels like The Remote Viewer, Xela, City Centre Offices, Skyphone, Moteer and many more, which served as huge inspiration in the formation of Lost Tribe Sound.
