Polar Seas Canada Vinilo y CD

Review: Polar Seas is very excited to welcome kj to the label with this 4 song LP "saturnalia". I've loved his music since I first heard his album "wake" on Own Records, and he has released some lovely music on Lost Tribe Sound, Dronarivm and Gailur Records. On his fifth full length release, kj departs from the hypnotic refrains of his earlier work in favour of the limitless expanses and mysteries of the cosmos, particularly exemplified by the ebb and flow of the 19 minute track "silverine" and the gorgeous orchestral closing track "waters".

Review: And Stillness Came is the new album by David Cordero and a perfectly calming tonic to busy life and global socio-political, financial and geographical meltdowns. It awakens your softer side from the off, with the lush 'Morning Loops' and then offers ever more cathartic soundtracks such as the blissful and heavenly pads of 'Asymmetric Feelings (feat Miguel Otero)' and 'Snoqualmie Falls' (feat Carlos Ferreira). There is a grand churchy architecture to these subtle tracks that has you craning your neck as they expand all around you. It all makes for a pulse-slowing delight.

Review: Ross Gentry makes an impressive debut on the Polar Seas label with an album of ambient inspired by " inspired by two monumental works of modern fiction, Tom Perrotta's 'The Leftovers' and Don Dellilo's 'White Noise'." As such, the music explores human tensions and existential dread, with ominous dories layered over creeping found sounds. Shards of synth light break through the cloud atmospheres to bring light relief on 'Nobody Wants to be Here' while the edgy string sounds (performed by Emmalee Hunnicutt), lo-fi crackle and sustained pads of 'Midway' keep you in a state of unease throughout. This is a beautiful troubled album for similarly troubling times.
