"Since the mid-'80s, acclaimed ambient artist Jeff Greinke has been releasing compelling albums of evocative and seductive atmospheric music. On Late Rain, his 25th release, four featured musicians bring an abundance of acoustic instruments to Greinke's electronic soundscapes for an extraordinarily textural, hauntingly ethereal, and wonderfully organic music that is both ambient and alive. John Dilberto of Echoes Radio writes: 'I think this is what Andre 3000 is attempting to achieve except Greinke got there much more effectively. It's both better composed and at the same time, more intuitive. Late Rain harkens back a bit to Greinke's music from the '90s. He has been such a creative and underrated artist!' Following his album Oceanic, where Greinke performed all the music himself, he envisioned a follow-up based around an ensemble. Inspired to create a vibrantly energetic group sound, he enlisted four exceptionally skilled, intuitive musicians out of the Seattle new music scene to take part in his sonic adventure. He gathered everyone in a Seattle studio to record a live session of the album. This was the ensemble's first meeting; in not knowing what the others had been working on, an excited anticipatory charge was felt in the room. Greinke created an enticing environment for the players to interact within, working around his open-ended compositions. The rich variety of colors brought about by the electro-acoustic mix of sonorities blends seamlessly with Greinke's otherworldly soundbeds. The mood is enveloped in a soundscape thick and all-encompassing. The sonic layers are arranged, sculpted and processed with meticulous care resulting in an album of organically composed, thoughtful music rich in depth, atmosphere, mystery, and wonder."
