What Balloons shows
Balloons is built from a photograph of a valley of fairy chimneys at dawn. Balloons with coloured gores rise slowly, pass behind the nearer rocks and drift with the wind, while the blue sky turns to a golden morning.
On every bar a burner fires and a balloon glows from inside like a lantern; two on each phrase, all of them in a cascade on the drop. No flash: a gentle world for downtempo, indie folk, soft pop and chill.
