about

Available as a ltd edition CDr via Sound In Silence:

'Sound In Silence is happy to welcome Ben Rath with his new album entitled Forgiveness.

Ben Rath is an ambient multi-instrumentalist based in Manchester, UK. To date he has released five albums and four EPs on labels such as Cathedral Transmissions, Triple Moon Records, Moonswing Netlabel, Splitting Sounds Records or self-released. In early 2016 he also released the debut EP of his side-project Slow Heart Music, showcasing his love for acoustic guitars and lo-fi experimental folk.

Forgiveness is his sixth full-length album and first for Sound In Silence. The album’s eight tracks were recorded at home, combining over-lapping layers of acoustic guitars and electronics. Borrowing textures and sounds from cinematic post-ambient and drone composition and adding some emotional motifs of soothing post-rock and fragile shoegaze, he creates a wonderful sound collage, full of heartwarming soundscapes and restful harmonies. Forgiveness is a profoundly touching album that will appeal to anyone moved by the music of artists such as Eluvium, Fennesz, Stars Of The Lid, Wil Bolton and Yellow6.

This is a limited edition of 150 handmade and hand-numbered collectible copies. It is packaged in a lovely hand-stamped 127mm x 127mm 240 gsm grey cardboard envelope with the front cover image printed on a polaroid style photo paper and an insert with the tracklist and the credits printed on a 160 gsm light blue cardboard. It also comes bundled with a download code coupon and a Sound In Silence card.'
