The Horrors' Tom Furse shares new album opener "A Journey In Ecstasy"

Furse originally announced details of his Ecstatic Meditations album in September, and has today (4 November) shared the opening song "A Journey In Ecstasy".

The new song (available as a three-minute edit and the full 19-minute version) was recorded, mixed and mastered by Furse from his own studio in Margate.

Ecstatic Meditations will follow on from Furse's 2016 debut solo LP Interludes, and will be released as part of Lo Recordings' Spaciousness series, which "seeks to explore the connections, the overlaps, the roots and the future of a music variously referred to as ambient, deep listening, new age and even post classical."

Speaking about the album, Furse says, "There was a certain kind of sound I was listening to that wasn’t always ambient but definitely had that quality about it and I just came to think of it as 'still music' - music without much form, but deeply spiritual, abstract and expressionist. This album is an exploration of that idea."
