Quiet Unseen Days
Calm, delicate, dreamy, warm, subtle, textural, flowing, pastoral, sparse, soft and minimal.
Good evening… or good morning, wherever you are. This is Trevor.
Welcome once again to one of these spontaneous episodes – music from all over the world, sparked by a single track that appears somewhere inside the set itself. This episode titled Quiet Unseen Days is based on the tracks Distant Days and Molten Days by the amazing artist and whitelabrecs. label curator Harry Towell here in the guise of Spheruleus. They’re from the album The Lost Catalogue , which comes out on May 16 2026. All the other tracks happened to just fit the vibe.
So settle in, turn it up a bit if you can, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it. If you can subscribe, even if it’s just for the month it would be a great help.
Right then… here we go.
