Second Thought & Noisesurfer – Oncoming Storm
Second Thought and Noisesurfer have worked together in the past, notably on two co-produced tracks on the first Noisesurfer album. This time they come together and each offer thirty minutes of music to form a haunting album of fuzzy dark ambience.Second Thought offers up three epic drone pieces, each setting a tone in its early moments and building slowly towards a thundering climax. Noisesurfer complements these pieces with a series of dusty shoegaze ambient works, fuzzy guitars and pianos buried beneath layers of synths and unknown sounds, forming a melancholy contrast to Second Thought's sinister first half.

Behind the release
Second Thought ↗
Working for the best part of a decade on various musical projects, Second Thought is the musical voice of Ross Baker, a twenty-something producer from somewhere in the United Kingdom. The project started as a techno duo in 1999, but when founding member Dale Clarke left after a year, Ross began to deconstruct and fragment the sound with each successive recording. Second Thought's music now ranges from abstract ambient to string quartet compositions, lo-fi pop songs and lush sound collages.
