“The Facts and the Dreams”
EKHO Sonic Chill #2 · song 11 · The Facts and the Dreams
UK duo formed in 2002 by keyboardist Neil Cowley and music journalist Ben Mynott — downtempo built from live keys, dusty jazz and dub-adjacent electronics rather than pure sample collage. Two albums: this one (2002) and Voices from the Dust Bowl (2004). The surprise is what happened to Cowley afterwards: a classically trained pianist who played a Shostakovich concerto at ten, he went on to lead the Neil Cowley Trio and play the session piano on Adele's 21 — so the hands on this record are the hands on some of the biggest pop of the 2010s.
