Slow Tree’s beautifully somnambulant soundscapes are the work of Neil Hamilton Wilkinson and Abi Fry – better known as members of indomitable pastoral-rock titans British Sea Power. Their stunning debut EP as Slow Tree marks the final instalment in Lost Map Records’ inaugural V I S I T ▲ T I O N S trilogy – a series of three very special limited-edition releases by three different artists, each written and recorded in residency in a cabin on the label’s home the isle of Eigg, Scotland. The track ‘May All Beings’ is available to stream and share now, and you can also watch a teaser video for a short film made during sessions here. Completed over the course of a week in late November 2017, after the pair made the short trip over from their home on the nearby Isle of Skye, Neil and Abi’s songs capture the drawing light and darkened heavens of the late autumn mists under which they were recorded. Across four tracks of cinematic dream-folk, Slow Tree manipulate the natural reverb of the island’s caves, allowing hushed vocals, ethereal piano and sweeping viola to glide alongside the strains of swirling birds in song. “Let’s go on a journey to the last island of beauty.”
