The Mountain by Pandora's Black Book
The Mountain is a 2 track surprise EP that evolved between the summer and the winter of 2024. The title track spawned from a summer of introspection and experimentation with new tools and effects processors. The result is a massive cloud of lush pads and modular clicks falling like raindrops. The slowed and reverbed reimagining of ‘Missing Your Fingertips’ resulted from a love of this trend but also from a video by Venus Theory discussing ‘liminal ambient’. It created an idea that became a fun challenge. I hope everyone enjoys this journey into ambient realms.

Pandora's Black Book commands an air of maturity,expertly merging shadowy melodies, haunting pads, and infectious beatwork.
