All India Radio
A Low High
Boards Of Canada meets AIR, Eno, Daniel Lanois & Thievery Corp. Chilled, ambient & instrumental soundscapes. "sublime slide guitar work, dreamy beats and ambient synths, moody muted trumpets, and tremolo guitars that sound like an Ennio Morricone dream”
All India Radio return to the lush atmospheric and instrumental music of earlier albums on the bands new album A Low High. Special guests include Graham Lee (The Triffids) on pedal steel guitar, Jen Anderson on strings and some evocative ambient sounds from Australian rock legend Ed Kuepper (The Saints and now Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds guitarist).
The last few years have been very busy for All India Radio with an ARIA nomination, signing to legendary Chicago label Minty Fresh, a US tour and a collaboration with Australian music legend Steve Kilbey (The Church) who wrote the magical 'Under The Milky Way' (rediscovered by the world in the hit movie 'Donnie Darko’).
