The record is grounded\u003cbr\u003ein the strength of ancient concepts, but comes alive with the joy and freedom of play as\u003cbr\u003etogether, Peel and Wang travel through the 24 solar terms of the Chinese calendar with\u003cbr\u003ea cornucopia of sound in tow – synths and prepared piano alongside traditional and\u003cbr\u003eunconventional percussion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album is collaged together from recordings made over five days at legendary rural\u003cbr\u003estudio Real World, a setting which aligned with the duo’s inspiration from the natural\u003cbr\u003eworld creating a permanent record of their shared musical landscape, informed by the\u003cbr\u003eflora and fauna that emerge and retreat through the seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth genre-defying, storied artists in their own right, Peel and Wang met while working\u003cbr\u003eon Manchester Collective’s 2023 album NEON and The Endless Dance certainly\u003cbr\u003erepresents a step-change from the duo’s shared classical backgrounds – but their\u003cbr\u003eknowledge and training is also the foundation of its freewheeling audacity, giving them\u003cbr\u003ethe confidence to trust their instincts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album is produced by Mike Lindsay [LUMP, Tunng, Guy Garvey, Jon Hopkins] who,\u003cbr\u003ewith free rein, brings added energy and creativity to the album, whilst Peel \u0026amp; Wang are\u003cbr\u003ealso joined by Hyelim Kim on Daegeum, a Korean flute with “colourful overtones on\u003cbr\u003eevery note”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrack to track, The Endless Dance is unpredictable and unexpected, which is in part due\u003cbr\u003eto the genuine curiosity and outside perspectives that each player brought to the\u003cbr\u003esessions. “I am so familiar with Chinese heritage, but I don't see how it can present in\u003cbr\u003eelectronics, for instance,” says Wang. “Hannah comes in with that direction, to imagine\u003cbr\u003ewhat the sounds could be together.” The characterful richness of the album stems from\u003cbr\u003ethe commonalities they found in the sessions. “We both come from cultures where story\u003cbr\u003eis really important,” explains Peel. “The attention to detail comes from telling a story,\u003cbr\u003eand one note can set that off in a different direction.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Endless Dance is a major work from two accomplished, singular artists – but it’s also\u003cbr\u003ethe sound of mutual curiosity and shared fun, or as Wang puts it: “Two women talking\u003cbr\u003ein totally different language that had a wonderful chat.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
