Harbours by Webmoms & Ciaran Austin

British multi-instrumentalist Karum Cooper (aka Webmoms) is a music obsessive and bedroom producer inspired by jazz, neo-soul, R&B and hip-hop. On this new EP, he teams up with producer & songwriter Ciaran Austin, originally from High Wycombe. Their ‘Harbours’ EP project came to fruition after being placed together by a BBC Introducing Random Artist Collaboration scheme. The duo were tasked with having to create a track from scratch in just a couple of days. The result was a very early version of what became ‘6 hours’ as heard on this EP here. Following the collab, Webmoms and Ciaran’s musical chemistry seemed to flourish and theice, even the challenge was completed - the two continued throwing ideas at one another. Faced with another COVID-19 lockdown, the pair used their time wisely and the writing for a full EP was underway. A lot of the lyrics on this record were written throughout this lockdown period, and so reflect feelings of isolation, self-doubt, lack of motivation, career uncertainty (what an awful time to be a musician aye!) But as lockdown started to lift and the world began to turn again, lyrics became a little more focused, and glimmers of positivity and optimism shine through.
