Fluorochrome by Still Harbours

Ambientologist is proud and honoured to be showcasing the first offering of the new collaborative project, Still Harbours: one part anthéne, one part Fossil Hunting Collective.

The stylistic meeting point between two old friends, Fluorochrome delivers greater than the sum of its parts. A new, more emotionally complex side of their production, it offers wide-reaching and deeply hidden sentiment, contrasting melancholy and unease with moments of transcendental bliss.

Pervading the album is a story of perpetual contest between anxiety and hope, darkness and light, blending the two as equals. Fluorochrome, a fluorescent chemical compound that can re-emit light upon light excitation, serves as an indication of how light can elicit more of the same when shone through the right medium. This positivity is key, when journeying through the uncertain, often challenging, corners of the album.

Former bandmates Bradley Deschamps and Jamie Jones describe their process as more of a collage of their own personal sounds, and of the layers they co-create. Not black and white, but shades and hues. Vast in sound and yet inward in sentiment, Flurochrome treads the necessary line between the light and the dark, for all it may contain.

"Finally, we’ve got a set of exclusive video premieres, using the music of the duo, and the visuals of Beautiful Chemistry, [...] to offer a stunning set of aesthetically pleasing organic evolutions, which are both, hauntingly ethereal, and amazingly real. An unknown universe in itself, this combination is a striking encounter, which will awe and delight." - Headphone Commute

"Amidst the constant gradient shifts of sonic color, melodic shapes emerge and recede to stunning effect." - Stationary Travels

"...the pieces on “Flurochrome” are about creating a framework of different sounds within a piece which makes for a more engaging listen..." - Drifting, Almost Falling

"There’s a new light now, a new tone, and it comes from within. Beauty lies not in the things we see or the places we visit or the experiences we have, but in how we perceive them and fluoresce in those moments. Make them make you different." - HearFeel
