Cold Hands Warm Heart – day and night have equal weight [CS]

"Sulphur-crested cockatoos screech circling mountain ash. A cicada rave cascades over quartz and clay. Ocean swells flanked by volcanic rock beckon. 'Day and night have equal weight', the third release from ambient / post-folk group Cold Hands Warm Heart, is a deep listening offering as antidote to the anthropocentric condition. A sonic meditation on landscape, connection to place and reciprocity with nature, this album is in collaboration with soundscapes of Kulin Country; cicadas, eastern froglets and lyrebirds contribute to the improvisations and inspire the compositions, communing with the shared musical language of the ensemble that has intuitively formed over a decade of making sounds together.

‘Day and night have equal weight’ holds space for two projects; the first a live set recorded for Jack Rollo / Time is Away / NTS radio at Naarm based artist run space Eastmint studios, broadcast in 2024. The second is a series of remixes / rewordings of tracks from Cold Hands Warm Heart’s 2023 release 'Luxury Bat' by Nipaluna based duo Troth, acclaimed ambient remixers Time is Away and pianist / composer Grace Ferguson."
