Airships on the Water - "Approach the Canopy"

The Fayetteville, AR based one-man project Airships on the Water has composed an incredibly well-executed and dynamic piece of post-rock with “Approach the Canopy”. It’s a slyly building composition that swells and billows with texture and grace. Approaching the composition as a geographic rendering, Airships on the Water states, “"Approach the Canopy" is a lush mix of instrumental post rock, ambient, and shoegaze. The song is structured like a vast geological formation, with layers of spacious guitars, sprawling ambient feedback, delicate piano, and bombastic drums merging into a sonic mountain range. The peaks and valleys throughout the song evoke visuals of diving beneath choppy waves, tunneling through icy caverns, and bursting through the planet's atmosphere. "Approach the Canopy" is a soundtrack for crossing thresholds and entering new environments.”
