Description by Still Return:

"Influenced by immersion as a kid in the sounds of 90s sci-fi / fantasy soundtracks, my parents' New Age music cassettes, and the ubiquity of the DX-7 and D-50 synths, "The Killing Sun" metabolizes that audio (and visual) DNA into a deeply personal and counter-New Age portrait.
With this album I wanted to create a grammar from those sound-memories, detached from their popular referent and reconfigured to a minor language of my own experience: to twist sounds that have been associated with lightness and, often, a shallow positivity and turn them to express something contrasting and dark, more akin to how I experienced life soundtracked by them.
Maybe one of the ways to break free is to utilize the sounds of the oppressor to make a new song.

Begun in 2015 with a rough piano sketch for "Come In" (track 1), this album is the culmination of years of earnestly seeking something personal. After putting my band Home Video on indefinite pause, this is the first album I've made with singing and lyrics. "

And in this release for Katuktu Collective I wanted to tread a similar path, the title itself a nod to Robert Fripp \u0026amp; Brian Eno's seminal track \"Wind on Water\". But also as the music assembled here is directly taken from types of wind and water, namely flutes, singing bowls, and field recordings of the Ayrshire coast.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eYet in the context of the climate emergency, just referencing nature without that reflection feels empty as a gesture. The cover itself for Wind \u0026amp; Water is taken from Japanese artist Yukihisa Isobe's poster for the first Earth Day protest from 1970, now part of the public domain. The decades-old protest showing how long we have known about the damage being done to the planet by people, and unfortunately holding a mirror up to the lack of any meaningful climate action by the international community to stave off fatal global temperature rises and ecological disaster.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe cassette tapes themselves are inscribed with the text 'We must listen', quoted from indigenous Brazilian climate activist Txai Surui in a stark reminder of systematic and urgent change needed: 'We must listen to the stars, the moon, the wind, the animals, and the trees.
