WYND CHANNELS LO-FI, ORGANIC INTIMACY ON ‘THE SHORES’
WYND CHANNELS LO-FI, ORGANIC INTIMACY ON ‘THE SHORES’
Recorded on a weathered 4-track cassette recorder, ‘The Shores’ washes over the listener in waves of delicate indie folk. The single opens an analogue, acoustic landscape, drenched in the bittersweet afterglow of love.
‘The Shores’ is out now via AWAL.
Like the tide’s endless pull, the sea slowly reshapes the shoreline. There’s something both beautiful and melancholic in that process - something eternal, yet irreversible. This is the emotional landscape of ‘The Shores’: a reflection on a love that once was, mirrored in the forces of nature.
“Love is memory, nostalgia and reflection - especially when it’s gone. ‘The Shores’ captures the urge to reach out, the hope that you might find your way back to each other. But within that hope lies the realization that it can be just as painful and destructive as the longing itself. There’s a bittersweet sense of optimism in watching the waves reshape the shore - how things fade, and how time eventually heals.”
So says the musician and songwriter behind Wynd, Morten Larsen. His music is recorded entirely on a 4-track TASCAM cassette recorder, in isolation in a remote corner of Zealand, Denmark. Yet the stripped-back approach doesn’t limit Wynd’s sonic palette on ‘The Shores’. Harmonica, mandolin, acoustic guitar and violin gradually build an emotional and musical crescendo around Morten’s vulnerable vocal.
Wynd marks both a musical and personal turning point for Morten Larsen. Over the past seven years in London, he has worked as a producer, musician, and songwriter with a range of successful Afrobeat and rap artists, including Skepta, Rema, Headie One and Libianca.
‘The Shores’ is released independently via AWAL, which also represents international artists including CMAT, Djo, Jungle, and Thom Yorke. More new music is on the way, with a debut EP set for release in 2026.
