Utilizing multiple genres and █ █ instrumentations as elements to shape a larger conceptual work, █ █ the eclectic, modernist approach refreshes BlackTapeÆs pioneering █ █ musical sentiments while maintaining the unique originality of █ █ their sound. Captivating vocals from Danielle Herrera and Michael █ █ Plaster accent songwriter and bandleader Sam RosenthalÆs █ █ electro-acoustic atmospherics and foreboding, engaging lyricism. █ █ A contemplative twilight hangs over these seven tracks. █ █ █ █ As the premier artist on the Projekt record label he founded in █ █ the early 80s, Rosenthal has been a tireless creator of new █ █ sounds. Moving from Los Angeles to Chicago to Brooklyn over the █ █ years, Rosenthal recently settled into Portland, Oregon where █ █ heÆs written and released more music in the last 4 years than in █ █ the prior 15. █ █ █ █ This creative energy led to an album encompassing powerful █ █ personal and transpersonal themes. ThereÆs a yearning for █ █ connection to a truer understanding of self and our potential ù █ █ letting go of faτade and fears, obstacles which hold us back. The █ █ lyrics emerge from the depths of the psyche addressing a desire █ █ to feel truly alive by overcoming self-imposed boundaries. They █ █ are first-person narratives at the edge where something has to █ █ give, something has to change, as the characters strive to take █ █ hold of the life they have left unlived. ôI close my eyes and █ █ watch the galaxy turningö and the title track explore a █ █ consciousness-expanding understanding of the cyclical nature of █ █ existence mixed with a hunger for something eternal beyond this █ █ reality. █ █ █ █ Non-binary porn star Mercy West portrays the androgynous alien █ █ traveler in RosenthalÆs cover photography. The deluxe crowdfunded █ █ edition, downloadable booklet, and CD booklet contain 8 pages of █ █ striking photos the duo shot at locations throughout Oregon. █ █ Rosenthal explains, ôThe photos reflect an attempt to externalize █ █ the feelings of isolation, alienation and longing of the lyrics. █ █ MercyÆs character is a stark representation of our struggles, █ █ lost within a larger self-defined world that attempts to limit █ █ our true nature.ö █ █ █ █ RosenthalÆs electronics, harmonium, piano, and acoustic guitar █ █ form an intimate backdrop for HerreraÆs ethereal, tender, █ █ heartfelt voice and PlasterÆs breathy, sensitive vocals. The █ █ emotionally-charged pieces are enhanced with appearances from █ █ drummer Brian Viglione (of The Dresden Dolls), violist Nick █ █ Shadow, multi-instrumentalist Chase Dobson. The title track █ █ features electric guitar from Walter Holland of Californian 70s █ █ space rock band Amber Route. █ █ █ █ Closing on a sorrowful but moving note, the arpeggiated piano of █ █ the title track slows to a crawl as we drift upon the alien █ █ landscape of the startling cover imagery. To touch the milky way █ █ is a goal that might remain beyond reach; however by interpreting █ █ SamÆs lyrical suggestions, weÆre encouraged to reach for it █ █ nevertheless, grasping for all that might be attainable during █ █ our brief time under the existential glow of a fading sun. █ █ █ ▀██▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀ ▀▀▀▀▀██▀ █░:iMPORTANT STATEMENT_ ░█ █ █ █ This release is for preview.
