Ott. - Hiraeth

Ott’s 2024 album Hiraeth marks a new chapter in the artist’s distinguished career, seamlessly blending the organic textures and intricate soundscapes that have defined his work with fresh sonic explorations. Released on limited-edition spearmint green vinyl, Hiraeth invites listeners into an immersive auditory journey, one that is equal parts soothing and introspective, yet deeply expansive.

The term "Hiraeth" – a Welsh word describing a deep, nostalgic longing for a place or time that no longer exists – encapsulates the essence of this album. From the opening track, Ott evokes a sense of melancholic yearning, with lush, warm atmospheres and his signature dub-influenced basslines grounding the sound. Tracks like “Echoes of Tomorrow” and “Tides of Memory” weave through complex rhythms and delicate melodies, creating an ethereal yet grounded sonic landscape. Ott’s use of organic instrumentation, layered with his trademark digital mastery, results in a sound that feels timeless and transcendent.

Hiraeth is a journey through emotional and sonic landscapes, balancing moments of reflective calm with bursts of vibrant, rhythmic energy. The album flows with a natural ease, allowing each track to breathe and unfold at its own pace. The spearmint green vinyl pressing not only offers a visually striking addition to any collection but enhances the listening experience, with rich, full sound that complements Ott’s detailed production.

For fans of Ott’s earlier works as well as those new to his music, Hiraeth is a captivating listen that demonstrates the depth of his creative evolution. This limited-edition release is a must-have for collectors and audiophiles who appreciate finely crafted, emotionally resonant electronic music.
