Now, with Helium, Sagar is putting down roots in aesthetic :, : territory all his own. : :' ': ,: It comes through not only in the gauziness of the production, :, : but also in the vulnerability of the songs themselves. Everyone : :' Sagar encounters here ù including himself ù seems to be a step ': ,: removed from present reality, whether by technology (ôAnything :, : At Allö), solitude (ôJust Like Myö), or sweet fantasy (ôLike : :' Mariahö). The record is stitched together by a series of ': ,: instrumental interludes, synthesizer explorations whose haziness :, : adds to the suspicion that this is all an uncanny dream. : :' ': ,: Where his previous three records were recorded directly to :, : one-inch tape in a local studio, Helium was recorded and mixed : :' by Sagar alone in his apartment in Montreal in early 2018. ': ,: Freed of the rigid editing process heÆd endured before, he was :, : able to lose himself in pursuit of tone and texture. A budding : :' interest in ambient and experimental music pushed him to tinker ': ,: with the micro-sounds that surround the songs here. ItÆs a far :, : cry from the chorus-laden guitars of his earlier work. ôEver : :' since I started introducing synthesizers into my music, IÆve ': ,: gotten more interested in texture,ö he says. ôIÆd hit a creative :, : dead end [with guitars], so synths took over.ö The warm chords : :' of a Roland Juno 60 form the albumÆs base, and gave him a clean ': ,: palette with which to work. ôNo tape hiss, no humming power :, : outlets and shitty mixing boards,ö as he puts it. ôEverything : :' just came out nice and pure.ö ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 1 9 \/
