Shortly after
we introduced you to the Reykjavik based producer
Russell Harmon, our friends behind
Ghosting Season, whom also happens to be the discoverers of Russell Harmon in the first place, promised us that a remix of one of their tracks was soon about to find its way to our inbox. It happened to take a bit more time than predicted, but didn't particularly surprise me in the first place. Harmon apparently has a tendency to be quite the perfectionist, at the same time as trying to live up to the works to another Iceland resident, obviously the one and only Ben Frost.
And of course is Ben Frost one of the first names that will come to mind when listening to Harmon's slow drenching, but beautifully static compositions, however more stripped-down in sound and less organic than the ambient-leaning works of Frost himself. Even though Harmon's remix of Ghosting Season's "
Time Without Question" has a clean; almost strict structure, the atmosphere from the original still remains, and gives us yet another reason to be very excited about the future of this dude, similar to Ben Frost or not.
We previously stated that his EP was supposed to come out in mid-March (something that obviously never really happened), so for now I guess all we can do is to sit still and patiently wait for Russell Harmon to feel satisfied about his pieces, satisfied enough to make an EP/album out of them. Something he really should be, by all means.
Here's the original as well:
