Emseatee - Going

The Nostos EP (Part 1), debut release from England native Emseatee, real name Leigh Redding, borrows from Greek mythology and the origins of the word nostalgia. The word nostalgia is derived from the Greek compounds 'Nostos' meaning homecoming and 'algos' translating as pain.

In conjunction with Homer's Odyssey the concept of Nostos portrays a hero returning home by sea. Temptation and reflection play a vital role in the ideas behind the 4 works within the Ep. The term Nostos best describes the journeys and afflictions that have come to be Four, Going, Heath and Kite. The freezing and references for memories gone by. Each track is titled as a memory, as a standalone moment or collective period.

Emseatee’s great depth of musical influences from the Radio Head, Vessels, Apex Twin, Nils Frahm, Nathan Fake and the likes can be felt on these organic yet compelling musical explorations. All different in form and nature each track was started by either a trigger sound or emotive on which the memory was rebuilt. Constantly pursuing the limitations of sound Emseatee invites you to explore these foundations within The Nostos EP (Part 1).

Holding us over until Emseatee’s next outing on 8KO records, the artist and label pairing reflects the young imprint appreciation of all things electronic and a forecast of more positive things to come from the imprint.
