Lakes is the first release by mainstays of the Perth exploratory scene Djuna Lee, Eduardo Cossio and Dan O’Connor. Over the past two years, the trio has forged a rugged style consisting of hypnotic moods and detailed instrumental textures. The album, which was produced entirely by the musicians, consists of three studio improvisations retrospectively interspersed with field recordings of Herdsman Lake at night—establishing correspondences with the local environment through the ritual-like charge of the music, as well as embracing an undercurrent in the Perth exploratory community that situates music-making in relation to its surroundings.
