Dexter+Franz return with their second long play album Panoramic Highway. An eclectic mix of ambient, kosmische, bossa nova, and library music that plays like a soundtrack to a lost nature documentary.
Recorded primarily at the Panoramic House in Marin County during the fall of 2023, the instrumental duo channel the coastal environment with flowing synth arpeggios, bubbling drum machines, evolving harmonies and hypnotic guitar riffs. Weaving effortlessly through Panoramic Highway are sampled and synthesized sounds of tide pools, beaches and the open ocean - a constant reminder of the marine ecosystems that surround us.
Further elevating Panoramic Highway are contributions from percussionist Justin Peters, jazzy touches of EVI by Will Miller (Resavoir) and lush stereophonic Rhodes by Garrett Spoelhof.
Panoramic Highway will be released digitally and on vinyl through Nudie Records / Tunnel Records on November 6.
