First Word kicks off 2018 with the welcome return of Quiet Dawn, and a new EP, 'Human Being: The Short Story of The Reed'. A suitably ice-thawing six-track opus to compliment the change of seasons. This is Quiet Dawn's most ambitious project yet, having drafted in a wealth of musicians - Strings glide effervescently atop of Quiet Dawn's assorted analogue synths, and an array of percussive organics combine to build the tale. Fans of Bonobo and Quantic should check this!
