Originally available as a mail order only item and limited in edition the Declining Winter is the solo musical project of Richard Vincent Adams of Leeds, England, a co-founder of Hood. quot;Goodbye Minnesotaquot; is his debut album under this guise, following an acclaimed 7quot; on Misplaced Music and a sold out remix CD on Moteer. Ranging from epic claustrophobia to rustic folk-dub explorations, with spectral atmospheres anchored to pastoral roots, quot;Goodbye Minnesotaquot; delivers hypnotic melancholia via abstract hiphop, shoegaze, dub and post rock explorations. Along the way there's also rain-drenched pop and globally warmed electronic folk. This record features contributions from Chris Adams (Hood, Bracken) and Chris.
