Genre: Ambient/Drone

Amsterdam-based collective Wanderwelle concludes their trilogy on Important Records with an album that confronts the climate crisis and its devastating impact on coastal ecosystems. From overfishing to warming and acidifying seas, the group documents the decline of fish, seabirds, crustaceans and other marine life. Following 2024's Following All Hands Bury The Cliffs At Sea and 2022 Black Clouds Above The Bows, Ghosts Beneath The Brine is another mournful take on the woes of the natural world. There's rising tension throughout, an underwater emptiness that is sadly prophetic and the distant clang of trawlers and mechanised nets which continue to cause such a threat. Provocative work for sure.
