A Sky So Close

In these times of anxiety and deprivation, journey to a place of sensual attainment on A Sky So Close, the elegantly erotic new album from producer Eric Hilton. A Sky So Close delivers classic trip-hop sounds over 12 tracks of pure sensory indulgence. Hilton’s luxurious production skills are on full display here, as well as the deep grooves that he’s been delivering since the early days of Thievery Corporation, the legendary downtempo combo he co-founded in the mid-90’s. But on A Sky So Close, there is a hedonic weightlessness to this music that verges on the tantric, with no climactic finish to bring the listener back down to earth. Hilton keeps you floating in an extended, delicious haze. Let go, and fall into the sky. It is-..so-..close.
