Pastoral electronic composer Keith Kenniff has returned with Yume, his first album as Helios since 2012. The Portland-based artist also records as Goldmund, but for the last few years he’s been fairly quiet altogether. Yume was well worth the wait; every track glows with warm ambience, placid beats, and airy guitar and piano melodies that drift slowly to the ground like falling leaves. Check out “Pearls” and the title track below, and hear the whole thing over on Bandcamp. Yume is out now on Kenniff’s label, Unseen Records.
