- Keith Kenniff's crowdfunded next album will land through his own Unseen Music.
Keith Kenniff, AKA Helios, will drop Yume on September 11th.
Kenniff has been making music somewhere at the crossroads of post-rock, ambient and downtempo as Helios for years. He has several LPs for Type under his belt, as well as an appearance on Merck, though lately he's been operating via his Unseen Music imprint. Yume is Kenniff's first album since 2012's Moiety, and it was intially announced via a Kickstarter campaign to release it (and a full-length from Mint Julep, Kenniff's project with his wife Hollie) on vinyl.
Yume is reportedly named for the Japanese word for dream, meant to describe Kenniff's approach to electronic music. The press release promises "a warm bed of sounds highlighted by luminous guitar lines, elegant piano work, and... crafted rhythms that are birthed from the multitude of electronic elements." You can stream "Pearls" below.
As promised, the Mint Julep album is on the way, as well as a new EP under Kenniff's alternate alias Goldmund to come via Western Vinyl later in the year.
