Comment: Hibernate Recordings is an Italian record label whose sixth compilation comprises such artists and projects as Isnaj Dui, Will Bolton, Jonatan Nastesjö, Caught In The Wake Forever alone and with Yellow6 (obviously the most well-known musical group on this miscellany), Autistici, Matt Collings & Dan Rosenqvist, Ithaca Trio, Clem Leek, and Lowered. This 10-track compilation veers away mostly ethereal sounds whatever stylistic combinations they used to constitute ( crossed over to ambient, post-rock, contemplative singer-songwriterism, digital electronica, drone folk, electro-acoustic compositions). Soothing, deep and graceful by any means.
