“I wanted to collaborate with different artists, but still keep some kind of control over the pieces,” says Visionary Hours. “In some cases, I sent the same acoustic guitar piece out to more than one artist, with the idea that two artists would unwittingly collaborate with each other on that particular piece – a blind collaboration, if you like.”
"... an exceptionally bucolic collection of music that sounds like one might dream up if Nick Drake could have made a record with July Skies. Warm, pastoral, dreamy, and soothing" – Stationary Travels
"[Visionary Hours] manages to keep the mastery of its productions and retains the ethereal acoustic atmosphere of his previous opus, including that discovered on his excellent last album Footfalls Echo" – dive into sun
