Jonny Nash's Make A Wilderness was created over the course of 2017-2018 and is heavily influenced by descriptions of landscape and environment in the work of authors Shusaku Endo, J.G. Ballard, and Cormac McCarthy. Fragments from a land that is a largely silent place. An ancient place. A non-place. A wilderness.

18 months after the release of his acclaimed Exit Strategies (MAT 002LP, 2015), Jonny Nash returns with Eden, an album recorded in Bali and the United Kingdom throughout 2016. While many of his aural trademarks are present -- think glistening guitars, drifting synthesizer chords, and subtle piano motifs -- Eden feels a little different: humid, dense, and decidedly "murkier" than previous outings. Check, for example, the gently pulsing rhythms, layered vocal samples, and hazy ambient house era textures of "Maroon Crisp", or the sparkling melodies, chiming percussion, and bubbly drum machine matters of "Ding Repair"; both tracks are as beautiful and life-affirming as you'd expect, but feel far more widescreen in vision. Eden is full of these kinds of moments. There's the undulating mysticism of "Conversations With Mike", the delay-laden, outer-space ambience of "Down In Babakan", and the crystal clear brilliance of closer "Lime".

Jonny Nash (Gaussian Curve) returns to Melody As truth following his 2014 Phantom Actors EP. Exit Strategies puts Nash's layered guitar textures at center stage, further demonstrating his ability to draw emotion from the simplest of elements. A glimmering mini-LP of lush and spacious compositions, surrounded by Nash's own unique air and atmospheric touch. Beautiful.
