Poppy Fields

by Eric Hilton

/
  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    On February 23rd, Eric Hilton brings you his new album Sound Vagabond, a 14-track sonic travelogue by one of the fathers of downtempo electronic music. As co-founder of the influential group Thievery Corporation, Hilton has spent decades merging diverse global genres into a singular music vision. Sound Vagabond is perhaps the ultimate iteration of this ethos, each track an audio picture postcard of a place real or imagined.

    Hilton’s hybridization of music influences are evident on the record’s title track. "Sound Vagabond" locks into a vintage trip hop groove, while flutes and Northern African flavors drift in and out. The destinations on this sonic travelogue are diverse - “Cerro Allegre” was inspired by Hilton’s visit to Valparaíso Chile, a city he likens to a Latin San Francisco with stunning vistas. “The Violet Hour” is a breathy, Stan Getz meets space-age bachelor pad jaunt that recalls a distinctive Chicago cocktail bar. "Midnight Milan” brings to mind a late night assignation, breathy promises and a doomed kiss. "Mumbai Hustle” is reconstituted Bollywood by way of Detroit - tough but fun, like a club where you need to know the secret password to get in. “Petra” breathes haunted echoes of Jordan through the speakers, while “Endless Affair” and “Poppy Fields” have 1960’s cinematic overtones.

    Get your musical passport stamped - join Eric Hilton on a trip around his sonic world on Sound Vagabond, out February 23rd on Montserrat Music.
