about

What is possibly the most striking thing about Hidden Land’s music is the conversation it achieves. Myles O'Mainnian from California and Johan Lager from Stockholm, Sweden create a sound that is esoteric and stirring. It is a conversation of the beautiful and the painful, played out over mostly wordless vocals and swelling strings. It offers an invitation into the long pause — a reflective space where the unexpected twists and turns of each track feel a lot like life itself.

Ambient and ethereal, one might think of the work of Sigur Rós or Jónsi and Alex. However, where both of those projects tend to lean into the experimental, Hidden Land takes on more traditional chord progressions and deconstructs them with discordant iterations, creating over and over again the texture of discourse.

- Audrey Ebbs (Writer)


Perspectives is like the sound of fog slowing moving through the trees in the dreary days of November. It is the sound of falling leaves, dancing and being carried away to the distant places of the wind. Many metaphors can be used for this album making sure every listener will paint their own private image within their mind. With its beautiful and sad melancholy anyone open to its challenge is drawn again and again into its atmospheric spell. Perspectives is truly an outstanding and timeless piece of sonic art making it an outstanding album and candidate for the highlight of 2018.

-André Schönauer, Gezietenstrom Magazine
