Will Samson - Loshult (Ah! Kosmos Rework)
Will Samson and Ah! Kosmos invite listeners to the reworked version of Loshult from Will Samson’s new album. Samson’s tape, piano recordings and atmospheric landscape reveal their hidden depths through Ah! Kosmos’ additional voice, piano, synthesizer recordings and production. As she brings these undercurrents to the surface, she searches for new layers, weaving pulsing low-end frequencies with ghostlike melodies. While the song establishes a rhythmic core, it simultaneously unravels into something hauntingly new.
