#PREMIERE 'Circular Orb' KAGAMI smile.
#IG054 KAGAMI smile. 'Differing Views of Light' out October 18th.
Listen to the first track from the album thanks to the premiere on Moskalus.
Highly prolific KAGAMI Smile, living between the industrial USA and futuristic China, debuts on the label after releases on Dream Catalogue, Emerging Technology, and Juynam. 'Differing Views of Light' perfectly blends the producer's introspective ambient side with his love of noise and techno. Magnificent opener Circular Orb takes its influence from nature: birds chirping chopped there for the melody, giving the listener the feeling of memories and dreams of the forest, not the forest itself. It sets the tone for the whole album and feels like 'standing outside a party down the hall, hearing bits of conversation and reverb only to be lost in its murkiness and unclarity,' as the author puts it.
This uncertainty continues at the title track with its flashes of brakes and cosmic synths. It finally resolves in centerpiece La Promessa D'un Segreto Quasi Realizzato, epic ambient techno that sprawls for 11 minutes and ends with the standalone epilogue, The Promise. The beauty of the chaos holds it together for almost an hour, and this journey ends with a haunting but impressive White Crystal; the party has ended but still echoes inside of the head.
