As co-founder of the influential group Thievery Corporation, Eric Hilton has spent decades merging diverse global genres into a singular music vision. His new album, Sound Vagabond, is perhaps the ultimate iteration of this ethos, each track an audio picture postcard of a place real or imagined. ""Some memories of the places I've been are very clear; others are distant, nostalgic echos,"" says Hilton. ""This record started modestly, with some basic ideas, but after writing the first 8 tracks I knew I had a travelogue."" One of those new tracks, ""Poppy Fields,"" is available on 7"" single b/w ""French Birds.""
