About

Kid Koala’s Music To Draw To: Satellite is an uncharted musical journey: an expansive work of ambient electronic soundscapes and chilling ballads in collaboration with Icelandic artist Emilíana Torrini. This inaugural volume in the Music To Draw To series is Kid Koala's first non-sample-based record, instead using an array of synthesizers, keys, guitars, strings, turntables, and inventive recording techniques to portray this heartrending musical story about a couple separated by a mission to Mars. The output is over 72 atmospheric minutes of stardust settling like fresh snow over Kid Koala’s trove of turntables and sentiment. – Press Release

“Music to Draw to: Satellite is all about the minimalist ambience with lots of purring and moaning. This is cold music too; we are not talking about warm, happy ambient here. The album cover really says it all: an aerial view of what might be a snow-covered field, or what might be a blank piece of white paper. It is fitting that this record came out in late January; this is winter music for sure. Kid Koala and Emiliana Torrini give us a delightful surprise with Music to Draw to: Satellite that will provide a fitting soundtrack to snow gradually accumulating on your front porch.

The 18 tracks that make up Music to Draw to: Satellite fade in and out of each other, never actually reaching anything that could be called a climax, but hitting moments of particular beauty.” – Popmatters
