New album dropped on the 22nd, a companion to 2019's Solastalgia [Room40]. -
Blissed-out and highly evocative widescreen layerings from Rafael Anton Irisarri on this beautiful new album for Room 40, an immaculately constructed series of apocalyptically angsty ambient dreamscapes that sound like a gauzy HDR composite of The Caretaker, Talk Talk, William Basinski and Slowdive. If you're into any of the above, this one will push all your buttons at once. https://boomkat.com/products/solastalgia-f5ee2c45-7898-465d-b005-cc90b9ae425f Just buy it. Fantastic album.

"This new album is the second album in a series of landscape-inspired musical renderings. As you may remember, my first album for the label was based on my immediate surroundings, the Pacific Northwest and its pop/folk cultural references. With 'The Unintentional Sea” I'm exploring the idea of transformation of place. The inspiration behind it is The Salton Sea, a failed river re-direction that happened in California at the beginning of the 20th century. It was an ecological man-made disaster – it created this artificial sea, which, in the 1950's, was seized and rebranded by corporate land developers, flipping it into a dream getaway destination for West Coast elites. Of course, before long, record temperatures and a rising level of water mineralization led to the mass death of fish and other wildlife in the area, and in turn, so too did the resort town's population: everyone living there skipped town and left behind a vast post-human deserted wasteland. It's really heartbreaking and depressing. We are the worst of all species." rafael anton irisarri http://irisarri.org interview http://secretthirteen.org/secret-thirteen-interview-the-sight-below/
