We are known to opine the loss of the '90s chill-out room—all beanbags and smart drinks and DJs drinking opium tea while spinning The Beatles White Album backwards. But while parts large parts of the culture are totally obsessed with getting turnt up, trippy sticks, and wearing enough neon to put out your eyeballs, we know the real chill-out room is in the mind… or in your living room. This video from Ghostly International's Berlin-based Bavarian-born techno homeslice Recondite is a soothing journey on a roiling sea—a contradiction, we know. Director Heiko Knauer climbed aboard a ferry from Finland to Germany, popped Recondite's Hinterland album (which contains this track, "Clouded") in the headphones, and got moody with it. Now you can do the same.Check out the entirety of the beautifully grey record here.
