"The music was born and recorded in the house of my childhood, trying my best to compose the view of the woods as the sky turns indigo on some late spring evening." Otto Taimela uses his words concisely, but manages to evoke a very particular place, feeling and mood when taking about his May 2024 full length masterpiece, Inner Beauty. Following on from a more chaotic and turbulent IDM EP on SWIMS sister label, Cold blow, the maestro is back in a guide most of us are more familiar with. Pastoral ambient and sumptuous, slow burning piano work, Inner Beauty is one of those rare moments where a record feels complete, even while opening our eyes to a world of aural possibilities. Introspective in the same way we tend to consider internal tranquility as we look out on the stunning surrounds of rural somewhere, this is a world to get lost in.
