'Close proximity and the unhindered care-all' is the latest offering from musical duo Will Long and Danielle Baquet-Long a.k.a Celer. I don't think Celer are capable of making a bad record with this latest offering being no exception. As is often the case with the likes of Growing and such, Celer very rarely drift from their comfort zone but they do what they do so well that I could enjoy numerous installments of what is essentially the same thing, beautifully realised and confidently delivered ambient drone. Using processed strings, pianos, regional field recordings, and electronics: Celer compose wonderfully drifting ambience of the sort that can only be truely appreciated quietly, at home. Using the simple mechanics of ambient drone music Celer have an uncanny ability to communicate all kinds of thoughts and emotions whilst quietly send you of into a better head space. 'Close proximity and the unhindered care-all' is yet another fine example of these two love birds at play.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

The duo of Celer is comprised of husband and wife Will Long and Danielle Baquet-
Long. Using processed strings, pianos, regional field recordings, and electronics, Celer
has composed a masterpiece of sentimental experiences and realism; the sound of raw
emotion..
Tender and touching, yet poignant and stirring, Close Proximity and the Unhindered
Care-all is composed of 3 parts that encapsulate over an hour of music, and on-location
field recordings. Part 1 creeps quietly through your room until its presence is felt,
fading, and field recordings are bringing back distant memories. Part 2 starts on a
melancholy note and ends in a sea of stunning ambience, drifing, and fizzling out. Part
3 embraces and carries you off to a distant, but strangely comforting world where it
shares its secrets with you, and yet disappears at the peak of discovery.
It is an honor for SRA to be able to share with you this masterpiece of sound art by Dani
and Will, and we hope it brings comfort to a world where things are often taken for
granted and then forgotten. When listening to such a heart-rending album, itʼs hard not
to feel somehow connected with the glowing love Dani and Will undoubtedly have
shared, and Celer will always be remembered, and cherished in this way.
Packaged in a 8 panel classic digipack with a matte UV finish, the artwork consists of
poetry by Dani, and layout, design, and cover photography by Johnny Utterback.
