Netherfield Lagoons brings together classic American minimalism, dub basslines, Tangerine Dream synths and wide-screen, slow-release guitars to create a sound-world you’ll be unwilling to leave. It comprehensively evolves the sound from the debut, ‘Sherwood Pines’, released in 2021 by NuNorthern Soul, and called “an album that you will keep going back to, not only in the ensuing months, but in the coming years, too” by Sun 13 Magazine.  

Netherfield Lagoons is an intricate, gossamer-fragile, tender and often heart-rending journey through a forgotten, waterlogged corner of the Nottinghamshire landscape – a soundtrack to a fractured, imagined nature documentary where the organic, mechanical, electronic and digital are seamlessly blended. While there’s definite ambient tendencies, this is far from background music. A deep, melodic sensibility demands repeated listening, and slowly-revealed texture and detail rewards each revisit.

Two tracks will be familiar to the discerning folk who grabbed Delia’s first release, label compilation ‘The Horizon Is On The Horizon’, which showcased the glassy, sparkling polyrhythms of ‘A Fixed Point’ and the epically-emotional, androids-in-love of ‘Tenori Respira’. In the words of the band – “These pristine recollections are a means to delve into the soul of space; to link earth, tuning peg, ears and fern. To give emotional latitude for musicians dipping their toes into cartography. To put our locale under the magnifying glass in the form of a vibrational tonic. Take a listen to the lakeside sunset or the moon on the lagoon and nod to their computer rhythms. For, if you let them, these familiar ghosts will walk you down private roads and ferry you across algae-filled waters”.
