ABOUT THIS ARTIST
Hilang Child is the moniker of Ed Riman, a half-Welsh, half-Indonesian musician and songwriter from South London, now living in Brighton. His debut album ‘Years’ was released in 2018 on Bella Union Records, showcasing expansive atmospheres with acoustic and electronic elements in harmony-rich, multi-layered songs. It won praise from BBC 6 Music's Lauren Laverne and Radio 1's Huw Stephens, glowing reviews from The Line of Best Fit, Q Magazine and Monocle, and saw Hilang Child touring in the UK, USA, Europe and Indonesia. One song even earned a spot at #4 on MTV's Channel V Asia indie chart. His follow-up is due in 2021 and is set to introduce a more up-front, brash evolution on his sound, with massive gang vocal reprises, aggressive bass synths, pumping grooves and ethereal woodwind textures.

Publishing: frank.wates@warnermusic.com, ruth.wyatt@warnermusic.com “Years is a record that throws the stage curtains open and steps into the spotlight, its richly embroidered songs finding a sumptuous sweet spot between mid-‘70s Yes and the second Bon Iver LP” - Q Magazine
"This album sounds huge and perfectly wears its pop-soul heart on its sleeve" - Monocle Magazine “Gorgeous ambient threads with synths so chilling they’ll make your bone marrow frosty” - Line of Best Fit “Riman’s rare talent as a songwriter defies genre” - Crack Magazine
