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.
