A true collaborative effort, Mid/Air, the new album from Dive Index, gathers vocal
and instrumental talents from across the globe and weaves them into a melodically
rich and sonically intriguing sound. Using a blend of electronic and acoustic elements
as the backdrop, the focus here is on the songs, leading the listener on a series of
personal and emotional journeys. Being lost in a foreign country, the insecure political
climate, the lonely life of a fisherman, channel surfing, and absorbing comfort in life
and loss-- these are some of the melancholy themes touched upon throughout the
album. And yet, Mid/Air still manages to retain some glimmers of hope.
The common thread is co-writer and producer Will Thomas, who releases minimal
electronic music under the moniker Plumbline on London's esteemed Hydrogen Dukebox
label. Vocal and lyrical contributions from the truly amazing Natalie Walker, Merz,
Ian Masters (of the Pale Saints), and Cat Martino lend to the stylistically
varied sound. Instrumentally, Kevin O'Donnell (drummer for Andrew Bird),
CJ Camerieri (horn for Rufus Wainwright) and Julia Kent and Maxim Moston
(cello and violin for Antony & the Johnsons) all add to the cast of incredible talent
featured throughout the album. And Plumbline collaborator Roger Eno's string
arrangements help raise the ethereal and thematic album closer 'The World is Kind'
to deeply moving new heights.
Following the success of Mid/Air, Dive Index will release a remix album entitled Collisions - The Mid/Air Remixes featuring notable contributions from artists such as The Album Leaf (Sole Fisherman), London-based Tunng (Hoko Onchi), renowned KCRW DJ Jason Bentley, longtime Thomas collaborator Roger Eno (For Centuries), and Francois K’s roster act Beat Pharmacy (Screen to Screen) among others. The remix album will also include the stunning videos for the songs 'Water In Our Hands' and 'The World Is Kind.'
