The Hermit is an apt name for Hamish Thomson as is the title of his debut album. He literally locked himself away for weeks back to back and when he finally emerged from the studio it was like he was “Flying out of solitude�. He had an album of his own original material that he wanted to share with the world. For the most part, you will find the Hermit’s music mellow and downtempo; sometimes even dark. Hamish tries to lure you into a trance like state at times and then wakes you up with a bit of a tempo change. He calls his music “organic electronica� but I would say that organic may be a poor description. Ambient electronica might suit his music better. The tracks are mostly instrumental; you will find far off vocals in only two tracks. The Hermit has made a great album for chilling out to. This Vancouver, BC artist will very likely gain a lot of international exposure with Flying Out of Solitude.
