I posted about this album's single a few months back, and then sort of forgot about its premiere. Although I've lately been covering mostly the darker edges of electronic music, sometimes a glimmer of light is needed to put everything into perspective - and EJA's "As Long..." LP hits all the right spots. Conceived during his artist residency at the Grand Canyon, following a revelation-like encounter with the park's nature, Elijah translated and documented his impressions into a blissful dialogue between the whispers of flora, the calls of fauna, and the composer himself. The final result amounts to 38 minutes of lush ambient soundscapes and comfortingly familiar field recordings that feel meditative, inspiring, and consoling.
