“Kirlian Camera Unveils Enigmatic Single ‘Il Tempo Profondo’ as Prelude to ‘Radio Signals for the Dying'”

KIRLIAN CAMERA, the avant-garde musical innovators, are offering a tantalizing preview of their highly anticipated album, ‘Radio Signals for the Dying.’ This sneak peek comes in the form of the single “Il Tempo Profondo (Radio Signal Version)” and its visually immersive counterpart, the video for “Il Tempo Profondo (Dark Psychedelia Vision).” Lead vocalist Elena Alice Fossi guides us into the profound concept of ‘deep time,’ portraying it as the expansive temporal dimension where humanity is intricately interwoven with Earth and geological forces.

In her insightful commentary, Fossi delves into the intricate layers of this concept, highlighting it as the vast canvas upon which human experience unfolds. The focus is on liberation from the cyclic patterns of existence, a wheel perpetuated by the self-centered desires of humanity. Within this framework, “Il Tempo Profondo” becomes more than a song; it emerges as a sonic exploration of the human condition, grappling with notions of hatred, craving, and delusion that persist within the intricate tapestry of existence.

This single, “Il Tempo Profondo,” is not just a standalone release but the herald of a larger musical narrative. It stands as the lead track from the much-anticipated double album, “Radio Signals for the Dying.” For eager listeners, this transformative musical journey is available for pre-order on CD and limited vinyl through Dependent Records. The album is poised for a grand unveiling on February 23rd, 2024, promising an immersive experience that transcends the boundaries of conventional musical expression.

As KIRLIAN CAMERA continues to push the boundaries of sonic artistry, “Il Tempo Profondo” beckons listeners to embark on a unique odyssey, exploring the depths of time and the human psyche. The accompanying video, “Il Tempo Profondo (Dark Psychedelia Vision),” adds a visual dimension to this sonic exploration, creating a multi-sensory experience that captivates and challenges perceptions. With this release, KIRLIAN CAMERA once again establishes themselves as pioneers of avant-garde sound, inviting audiences to step beyond the ordinary into a realm of musical transcendence.

Embark on a Sonic Odyssey: The Adelaidean’s Ambient Exploration ‘Going Home the Long Way Around’

The Adelaidean invites you on a sonic exploration with “Going Home the Long Way Around.” This ambient masterpiece, available as a Name-Your-Price download on Bandcamp, is a collection drawn from seven of The Adelaidean’s nine Projekt albums. To enrich the musical journey, two non-Projekt tracks are added, broadening the spectrum of this ambient experience.

The music delves into the still places of the living mind, capturing the ebbs and flows of mood, thought, and memory that weave the tapestry of human experience. The layered quality of the music is enhanced by archival textures, including avant-garde experiments from the artist’s teenage years in the 1980s and recordings by jazz pianist father-in-law Ted Nettelbeck. Collaborations with artists like Sam Rosenthal, Deepspace (Mirko Ruckels), and stepson Xander Monteath contribute to the rich, multi-dimensional nature of the compositions, complemented by the evocative cover art of Thom Buchanan.

Critics describe the work as “stark, extreme, and beautiful,” offering a “unique sonic experience.” Mark Frauenfelder of Boing Boing finds it a “blessed escape hatch to a distant present,” and Dave Aftandilian on Bandcamp likens the journey to “floating in the midst of eternity, gentle currents carrying me toward an unseen destination.”

The tracklist features remastered classics and collaborations, including the mesmerizing “Going Home the Long Way Around” with Xander Monteath, the atmospheric “Under the Bright Cuernavaca Sky” with Sam Rosenthal, and the ethereal “I Spelled My Name but the Wind Forgot” with Deepspace.

TheAdelaidean, alias Sean Williams, is not only a prolific musician but also an award-winning, New York Times bestselling author and Discipline Lead of Creative Writing at Flinders University, South Australia. In addition to his work with Projekt Records, he has independently released music under “theAdelaidean” and his real name for various creative projects, including exhibitions, film scores, and stage productions.

Don’t miss this opportunity to embark on a musical journey; the album is available as a Name-Your-Price download on Bandcamp. Your contribution, even as little as a dollar, ensures the album becomes part of your Bandcamp collection, ready for streaming and download. Choose zero if you wish to download without adding to your collection. Dive into the rich ambient landscapes of TheAdelaidean and let the music transport you.

Track List:

About EXHORDER:
Formed in 1986, EXHORDER’s journey has been thrilling yet tumultuous. After a twenty-seven-year hiatus following their final Roadrunner Records release in 1992, EXHORDER re-entered the scene with an album considered by many as a contender for the “Best Comeback Album” category. The band dropped Mourn the Southern Skies in October 2019 through Nuclear Blast Records. Despite lineup changes and the challenges of the 2020-2021 pandemic, EXHORDER has fought back to prepare another album for their iconic discography, set to be unveiled next year.

“The Halo Trees Join Forces with COP International, Unveiling Deep Dark Indie Rock Soundscape”

The Halo Trees “Dark Clouds Over London” (Official Video)

The renowned US indie label COP International (Stabbing Westward, The Cassandra Complex, Beasto Blanco etc.) recently signed the Berlin band The Halo Trees.
The group around singer/guitarist Sascha Blach describes their music as Deep Dark Indie Rock, which includes elements of Post-Punk, Indie Rock and Post-Rock.

The dark Rock sound is characterized by complex arrangements in which the violin also has a fixed place, as well as the frontman’s deep melancholic vocals. In the past, The Halo Trees have been repeatedly compared to bands like The National, Lambchop and Mark Lanegan. After the outfit recently released a few singles on their own such as “Mr. Abundance” or “The Beginning Of Something Beautiful”, the next record “Where The Deep Ends” will be released in spring 2024 worldwide via COP International. The band promises an introspective headphone album with a warm, organic sound that contains lots of little details. The record release will be preceded by the first single and music video still this year.

Christian Petke, label boss of COP International, says about the signing: “I am genuinely thrilled to join forces with The Halo Trees. Their music exudes an introverted, deep, and intensely quiet post-punk vibe that resonated with me on a profound level. Sascha Blach, a truly prolific songwriter, has crafted something extraordinary, and I’m eagerly anticipating the moment we can unveil their incredible new music to the world.”

Sascha Blach from The Halo Trees is pleased: “I know COP International still from the first incarnation of the label and have therefore been following Christian’s work from afar for a long time. I think it’s great that he has revitalized the label and is now expanding musically. In our conversations he proved to be a great idealist and a very likeable person. I see it as a good sign that our first Zoom call lasted over 2.5 hours. So I’m looking forward to what I hope will be a long-term collaboration and I hope we as a band can take the next step.”
