   About July Skies
July Skies is a Midlands (UK) based recording project commenced by Antony Harding in 1997 who have released 4 albums and 2 EPs since 2000. July Skies is also part of the fiercely independent Make Mine Music label collective who have now achieved some 50 releases. July Skies create ‘British Landscape’ music and are heavily inspired by nostalgia and attempt to capture faded innocence and lost times through music and design. The project is often assisted by long time collaborators Benjamin T Holton and Robert Glover from epic45. The Skies have received support from the late John Peel and Rob Da Bank of BBC Radio1, Verity Sharp of BBC Radio3 and Stuart Maconie on BBC Radio6.

Following the release of ‘the Weather Clock’ album and limited ep in 2008, July Skies are currently working on the next album and supporting films for ‘A Day in the Country’.

NEW ALBUM IS OUT NOW!!!


Our new album "Herbarium" is out now on CdBaby (MP3 so far, physical CD is on its way).


Diverse palette of styles (post-rock, ambient, electronica, trip-hop, with elements of noise, dub, neoclassic and free improvisation), united by cinematic, slightly pensive mood.


«Herbarium» is called so because of heterogeneity of «songs», which can be compared to miscellaneous leaves in the album, still being belonged to the family of trees. Trying to avoid non-alive metaphors here, only thought of diversity and warm and innermost feeling that herbarium is capable to conjure up. «... This leaf I picked up in the park where I met her, and this - I sat by the river, contemplating...». So tracks were created – one was captured in some magic jam, another – recorded layer by layer and meticulously mixed then, next – cut from previous sessions and so on.


All compositions are united by Poostosh sense of music – mostly pensive, spatial, tender and experimental. There's a lot of soul and charisma in every leaf... So please let your soul look over our HERBARIUM.
