Operating in the liminal space between classical music, jazz and folk, and melding these genres with seamless grace, Emergence Collective, the Sheffield group of musicians creating beautiful, improvised soundscapes, release ‘Swimming in the early hours’ - the collective's first studio record which comes via Redundant Span Records.

‘Swimming in the early hours’ sees Emergence Collective continue to develop their unique sound, gently lit with moments of serene softness and quietly hypnotic grooves. The group had one day in the studio to record the album, going in with no plans, preparation or expectation - they simply picked a key to play in and waited for the music to unfurl, with all members helping to steer the sound. For a record that is so heavily planted in the idea of exploring music in real time, ‘Swimming in the early hours’ possesses a remarkable degree of poise and coherence which is being met with critical acclaim.
