BIO
Neighborhood Libraries is the musical project of Vancouver-based composer Taylor Swindells, creating instrumental music that sits between ambient, neoclassical, and cinematic sound. Built from delicate piano, drifting synths, field recordings, and lo-fi textures, his work finds beauty in quiet moments and slowly unfolding arrangements.
Following his acclaimed album In Our Wake, Swindells returns with the new EP Kyoto/Monmouth, a richly textured collection that continues to explore memory, place, and the spaces between stillness and movement. Accompanied by evocative imagery built from layered photographic compositions, the project expands Neighborhood Libraries’ cinematic world while hinting at a new full-length record arriving in January.
