"A change of scenery can change a person. It reshapes their mind, shifts emotions, and brings forth new modes of creation. A new house did just that for Carl Hultgren. Tomorrow was started in 2011, shortly after moving to a new neighborhood and into an enchanting 1930s Art Deco inspired Tudor. Originally known as The Elmdale, its casement windows and recessed plaster cove ceilings combined to reshape Carl's thoughts and views. Surrounded by beautiful old trees and shimmering sunlight, Carl started working. Tomorrow's tracks are a manifestations of tranquility and joy, of an assuredness in forward motion. It is instantly apparent to any long time listener of Windy and Carl that these new tracks show a marked change from the 20 years of dense guitar drones and walls of sound the duo have released. Carl's first solo album is instead a lighter, more stripped down affair -- the tracks showcasing his new found humility and confidence. There are touchstones - in tracks like 'No Other' and 'As Sure As' the cascading guitars hint at LC era Durutti Column, in 'Spirits' you can hear a nod to early 4AD Dif Juz in all its reverb and atmosphere, while 'In This Land' has a Gene Clark psychedelic country twang. Tomorrow is not all about a love for guitars - 'Hidden' brings together glimpses of Wolfgang Voigt's Gas project with the industrial percussion of Einsturzende Neubauten's Perpetuum Mobile. A change of scenery has meant the freedom to explore new lands and be completely comfortable in them. Keyboards and found sounds sit very contentedly next to airy guitar compositions." Comes in a hand letterpressed sleeve. Includes a download code for six bonus tracks.

"Windy Weber, known for being half of the ambient drone duo Windy & Carl, has recorded a solo album. It is quite different from what you may be thinking -- it has none of the soothing characteristics you may be expecting & instead is full of heavy & brooding music. It's comprised of two tracks -- 'Sirens,' coming in at 24 minutes, is instrumental & is filled with the sound of guitars crying, rising & falling like waves crashing on the rocks. 'Sirens' is ominous and haunting. It is not music to sleep to, but instead could make you tense & anxious. The second track is 'Destroyed.' It is 32 minutes long, and comprised of 3 suites. The first being layers of vocals, woven together to make a chorus of breathing & breathlessness, layers to make you feel as if you may be drowning in the sea, whether that sea be the ocean, or the sea of life, the day to day world in which you must deal. The second suite becomes noisy, agitated, rumbling & distorted guitars, bass & feedback, and makes you sit on the edge of your seat wondering what is about to happen. The third suite takes you to the end of the album with its subsonic frequencies & strange unrecognizable sounds. This is not music for the faint of heart."
