Joel Hood – EP

Joel Hood makes escapist Friday night music heard through the haze of a foggy Monday morning. The North Yorkshireman’s music transports you straight out of a cold working town and drops you into a hazy world of intercontinental sonic voyaging, taking in fragments of family holidays and adult travel adventures cut and pasted into instrumentals that evoke DJ Shadow, Twin Peaks and The Avalanches stargazing in the middle of nowhere, with Hood’s voice weaving between it all.

Already profiled by the Guardian and Music Week plus picking up support from Rob Da Bank and BBC6Music, his debut EP for International Feel features four tracks of psychedelic fusion carrying hints of 80s nostalgia amidst hedonistic futurism.
