restless pines
hidden in plain sight is my fifth EP. inspired by a trip to an eerily liminal shopping centre after dark, and heavily featuring field recordings captured with a portable mic clipped to my jeans, this EP is one of my most hands-on releases yet. this EP was created over the course of three hours. i don't claim it's my best, but it's definitely not my worst, either. i hope somehow it blends the best of my previous attempts at field recordings with the best of my initial EPs. i thought it was nearly done, then i reworked multiple tracks because it didn't feel quite right. i hope it paid off. i had a lot of fun on this late-night trip, and i hope you enjoy listening to it. i would love to release an album this year or next, and i think i should start conceptualising that. but regardless, this is a wonderful return to form. love, autumn willow x

restless pines returns with a four-track EP, born out of inspiration by this wonderful cover art (photo credit to izzie <3) sunset, wherever you are is a beachside dream. splicing together ambience found from beaches all over, it's the perfect encapsulation of a hazy summer. i hope you enjoy <3 this hopefully breaks my creative block for the better. i don't yet know if i will return to the creative site of center parcs in the near future, but regardless, i'd love to return to that site which restless pines was born in and perhaps create a compilation of all three EPs with some bonuses. stay tuned! lots of love, autumn willow xoxo

built around a (nearly) continuous field recording taken at London Paddington station on the 18th May 2026, this is my third EP. i'm so excited to be weaving in sounds and atmospheres of my own life into my music, and it's something I want to do a hell of a lot more. i suddenly had a burst of inspiration to create this, and i'm super happy with how it turned out. i put in more effort in mixing and shaping the audio used here and i hope you hear that! enjoy <3

"Heated to a tropical 29.5°C all year round, our Subtropical Swimming Paradise is perfect for family fun, whatever the weather." Paradise (1994-2022) is my second EP under restless pines, and it takes a trip to a specific place i treasure at center parcs - the Subtropical Swimming Paradise. under a glass dome, the Swimming Paradise is a place to forget your troubles. the elated screams of children bounce off the glass dome, as they careen down waterslides or meander around the wave pool, while a parent sneaks away to the hot, bubbly pool while the other takes a jittery child down the rapids. it's another world, and i try to capture it within this EP. i hope you enjoy, and i hope it scratches a place in your mind you forgot about. — autumn willow
