A Little Place In The Wilderness was recorded in the depths of winter – which may explain its many references to snow. With gentle horns and strings that swell in almost every track, A Little Place In The Wilderness is evocative of innocence and the sprawling daydreams of childhood. Dreamy and foreboding, it is an intricate record from a South-meets-North duo that is the ideal soundtrack to finding a peaceful place amid chaos. Praised for its swooning guitars, piano melodies and lo-fi soundscapes, Memphis’ debut, I Dreamed We Fell Apart, was described as “a beautifully crafted snapshot of the warmest feelings that come while you’re discovering the world. Delicate whistles are weaved in with lo-fi electronic beats and dreamy keyboards… It captures love in eleven tracks” - Prefix Magazine. Their sound is still swathed in velvety textures, a consonance of dreamy strains of strings and brass, but the beats and synths take a backseat to tender riffs and spirited orchestration, and when the tempo spikes, pop bliss flows forth. Completely overwhelming in scope and texture the new opus is the sound of little epiphanies on a collective consciousness level, suggesting that the duo has found sanctity in “A Little Place In The Wilderness”.
