1-4: Recorded summer 2003, Parish of Berkswell ~ Session recorded for Radio WZBC (USA) and first broadcast 19.03.04 by George Killgoar III
5-7: Recorded summer 1999, Solihull ~ B-Sides taken from the At The Height Of Summer 7" EP released on Roisin Recordings
8-9: Recorded spring 2002, Parish of Berkswell - Two tracks inspired by the 20th Century artists Harry Wingfield and Ronald Lampitt, who finely illustrated Ladybird books and other children's publications. 'Childhood Illustrator' was recorded after visiting an exhibition of Harry Wingfield's 'Ladybird originals' where he was due to give a talk about his life and art. Unfortunately, Harry was unable to attend due to ill health and passed away the following week. Influential gentlemen from a fast fading generation.
10-11: Recorded winter 2003, Parish of Berkswell.
12: Recorded summer 1999, Solihull ~ The fields of Wiltshire, as mysterious as ever...
13-17: Recorded 2002 to 2003, Barnt Green, Solihull & Wheaton Aston ~ Unreleased tracks recorded for The English Cold album which was inspired by the abandoned WWII airfields of Britain and the countryside surrounding them. In researching the album, be it exploring the derelict buildings and structures amongst rural fields or those which overlooked windswept coasts, the sense of past activities, imagined conversations and former habitation from sixty years ago was all too vivid and overwhelming at times. During recording, Ben, Rob and I stood in a Staffordshire field one cold November evening watching night fall across RAF Wheaton Aston. Looming over us, the remains of the monolithic firing wall. We stood, then knelt, waiting, just waiting for the 'Lost Airman'. We returned home later, cold but emotional to record 'Waiting To Land'.
18: Recorded summer 1999, Solihull
19: Recorded 02.02.02, ICA, The Mall, London ~ Live recording of the first ever July Skies performance.

I love every Epic45 album for different reasons, but the 'heavier' moments on tracks like 'Buildings Aren't Haunted, People Are' sound like the most exciting and reinvigorated output for quite awhile. Stephen Healy
As their name implies, The Ascent of Everest make big, expansive music, weaving in elements of post-rock, classical music, and more. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 12, 2019
A visceral LP centered on the subject of death; deft layers of instrumentation that blurs the line between organic and electronic. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 5, 2018

Pure nostalgia. Been in love with this album since I first heard it all those years a go. When I saw this on wax I just had to have it. I hope I can catch you on your tour this winter. alexissonice
