LP version. Underneath The Earth is the debut album from Chimehours; a hauntological music project for the dislocated present day. Taking inspiration from Max Porter's novel Lanny, the album digs into themes of nature, myth and community, with an edge of folk-horror. Drones, drums and gritty guitars are juxtaposed with woodwind, strings and ethereal song. Written and produced between Derbyshire, London and Margate, the album takes musical influence from the likes of Liz Fraser, Broadcast, Beth Gibbons, Bibio, and Jóhann Jóhannsson, and atmospheric cues from The Wickerman, The Fog, and Enys Men. Chimehours is a collaboration between Beck Goldsmith and Jon Dix. The pair have previously performed in bands together and composed music for award-winning film and television. They conjured up this foray into cinematic, horror-flecked contemporary-folk to explore their love of the supernatural and the other-than-human. Here, Chimehours raid the vaults of '70s British cinema and trad folk soundscapes to riff on contemporary anxieties and ecological yearning. They conjured up this foray into cinematic, horror-flecked contemporary-folk to explore their love of the supernatural and the other-than-human. The result is a collection of all things earthy, exquisite and grotesque.
