Hidden Shoal is excited to welcome Swedish soundscaper Erik Nilsson to its roster of artists. Drawing on folk, classical and electronica, Erik Nilsson blends acoustic instruments with field recordings and computer-generated sounds, crafting music akin to early Four Tet, Tortoise at their most minimal, and fellow Scandinavians The Gentleman Losers. His forthcoming Hidden Shoal debut <i>Hearing Things</i> advances the compositional strategy Nilsson first explored on his acclaimed debut <i>Recollage</i>: simple rhythmic and melodic elements are manipulated and recontextualised into richly textured, emotive pieces.

<em>Hearing Things</em> will see release on the 30th of July with a cut from the album available mid-June. Nilsson's music is now available for <a title="Licensing" href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/licensing/">licensing</a> (master &amp; sync cleared) for film, tv, web, games, compilations and more.
