“Melancholic doesn’t necessarily mean dark. Music can be happy and moody.” Words that certainly ring true from Recondite, referring to his latest aural expedition on Ghostly International. For Corvus, Lorenz Brunner (aka Recondite) reconnects with the label that released his sophomore full length (2013’s Hinterland) and delivers 5 tracks that find that introspective space in melancholy. Soak in the moody feels on “Capable” with its lush layers of synths over low key bumps, the deep driving “Kauz,” or the brilliant title track. Also included is the Ricardo Donoso Clemency version of “Capable” that takes the drums away so you can get fully enveloped by the ambient zone. Comes in full pic sleeve.
