Mercy

by subtractiveLAD

supported by

Durchkreuzer Best release of 2020! Love these erratic meandering noisy parts seeking a path underneath. Lots of melodies and all the other good ingredients subtractiveLAD was applying until now. A rich, rooting, budding and flowering diversity like a spring in the ears! Favorite track: A Space for a Moment.

about

Spiraling West Coast modular tweakery fused with a more linear East Coast performance-based approach. These tracks have ended up becoming some of the most distinctive compositions in the subtractiveLAD catalogue. Primarily ambient, somber and meditative, with the odd burst of granular tension, the album deals with feelings of isolation, longing and hopefulness.

This music is suitable for waving at neighbors from windows, hugging your loved ones through a computer screen, avoiding people on long walks around your block and finding hope in small acts of kindness.

Recorded, mixed and mastered at 24 bit / 96 kHz for your high resolution pleasure.

I've only listened to Sonic Flames to date and am excited to dive into the album. This early review is well deserved... the calm and relaxation induced by Sonic Flames was a most welcomed guest. It reminds me of days without worry, endless camp fires and simple pleasures of life. Pol Cousineau
