Rooms Without Footsteps is a new full-length release from Background Hours, created for the quiet hours when spaces outlast people. Offices after midnight. Hallways lit at half power. Screens glowing in rooms where no one is speaking.
This album is entirely instrumental and intentionally restrained. It doesn’t ask for attention or narrative. Instead, it exists alongside focus — steady, patient, and unobtrusive. Soft analog tones, muted electric piano, distant textures, and slow, even pacing form a sound environment meant to support thought rather than interrupt it.
Each track reflects a moment of stillness inside everyday places once activity has passed: ventilation humming softly, stairwells without echoes, security cameras blinking in empty corridors. The music moves gradually and without urgency, allowing time to stretch and settle. Nothing rises suddenly. Nothing resolves loudly.
Rooms Without Footsteps is designed for late-night work, reading, coding, long listening sessions, or simply letting a space breathe. Like all Background Hours releases, it’s meant to fade into the background while remaining quietly present — music that stays with you without demanding anything in return.
The album is now available on all major streaming platforms.
