frailty by anthéne
'frailty' marks the welcome return of anthéne for his seventh solo (and tenth in total) album on Home Normal.
One of the most revered and respected ambient producers around today, the work of Canadian Brad Deschamps has appeared on a number of established labels in the past decade, alongside his own labels Polar Seas and his new tape label, Floralia.
'frailty' continues his journey of beautiful, subtle melodicism in an ambient framework. Born from deep and warm analog tonal elements, anthéne works through the most fragile and intricate of layering through each piece, typically sourced from guitar. The track title 'mapping out the memories' really sums up this singular artist whose signature sound is always that of calm introspection upon youthful memory and joy.
The album once again features misty, low-light cover photography from Brad himself, perfectly matching the other-worldly quality of the music itself.
Thank you for listening.
