Music For Dreams

Ambala - Volume 2

Phil Mison returns with a second album under his Ambala-moniker, presenting a generous set of aquatic beats and moonlit synth-grooves of the highest quality.

A true architect of the Balearic sound, Mison has released music under several monikers, among them Ambala, Reverso 68 and Cantoma, whose debut has been canonized as an all-time chill-out great.

On this sophomore Ambala LP, Mison continues to elaborate and seek new avenues for the chill-out sound, layering solid digital grooves with organic instrumentations and dreamy synth leads.

Several instrumentalists from the Music For Dreams roster guest the album. Guitarist Santino Surfers (Jonas Krag) serves up a number of exquisite solos throughout the album, ranging from smoky twang to Mediterranean romance. Composer Troels Hammer and pop ambient artist The Swan And The Lake provide tranquil sweeps of keys and synth, often blooming into dreamy little melodies.

Also featuring on the album are producers Anders Ponsaing, WALTHER and OliO.
