Seattle-based musician Kid Smpl returns with Finding the Sky, a gently immersive release on Hush Hush Records that further deepens his exploration of ambient electronic music. Known for crafting introspective soundscapes, Kid Smpl (aka Joey Butler) leans into texture and tone on this latest effort, delivering a meditative and weightless listening experience.
Finding the Sky is filled with drifting atmospheres and lush, slow-moving compositions that blur the line between ambient and experimental electronica. Layers of soft synths, delicate field recordings, and ghostly echoes create an enveloping sonic world—one that feels suspended in time. The album doesn’t demand attention; rather, it invites the listener to sink into its mood, making it ideal for quiet reflection, late-night listening, or as a sonic backdrop for daydreaming.
With each track, Kid Smpl captures a sense of stillness and space, subtly shifting textures and tones that evoke clouds moving across an open sky. It’s an understated but beautifully cohesive work—one that shows how much emotion and depth can be conveyed through restraint and atmosphere.
If you’re drawn to ambient music that balances melancholy with serenity, Finding the Sky is well worth your time.
