Ease Into Your Week With Max Wuerden's Blissful "Fernfeld" Video, From Kompakt's Latest Pop Ambient Compilation

Just the right amount of melancholy to get your Monday started!

What's the best thing about this time of year? Scarves? Early morning mist? Massive cups of pumpkin flavored sugar? Nope! It's the fact that another instalment of Kompakt's long running Pop Ambient compilation series is just round the corner!

2016's edition—which features a set of finely-tuned cosmic slop from the likes of Kenneth James Gibson, Jens-Uwe Beyer, and Leandro Fresco—slides into shops on the 25th of this month and it is an absolute doozy—yet more proof that at the right time, in the right place, ambient music is possibly the best thing mankind's ever done. Apart from inventing Coca Cola and butter chicken, of course.

We're letting you lot ease into your Monday with this exclusive video, courtesy of Cologne based producer Max Wuerden, who's elegiacally pellucid "Fernfeld" is a compilation highlight. The combination of Wuerden's barely-there guitar-glimmer and washed out footage of clouds unfurling endlessly is exactly the kind of melancholy we get really into on Friday mornings. Go on, indulge yourself right now.

Pop Ambient 2017 arrives on the 25th of November on Kompakt
