about

Continuing to make their unique journey through many areas of ambient and leftfield postrock and prog, The Rain Dogs offer up a new album of introspective and minimalist pieces.

"The View From Here: Improvisations for Enhanced Piano" is very much a stream of consciousness committed to keyboard: a series of loose, open improvisations on piano - layered with natural harmonic distortions and atmospherics - along with washes of underlying textures, drones, and reverbs.

A soundtrack to the band's local landscapes and seascapes in South Wales, "The View From Here" is a truly immersive experience in sound and free improvisation.
