Ambient Sunday is trying good with: Optometry – Cathedral #Ambient #Drone
I do like John Tejada’s work. Right here he’s as a part of a duo with March Adstrum on new monitor Cathedral.
For Optometry, Tejada, identified for a few years as an digital artist, handles the manufacturing duties whereas Adstrum takes care of vocals and guitars. The band focuses on themes of life, love and loss. A reminder of early 80s stars Younger Marble Giants. However on Cathedral it’s all pushed by way of hazy droney digital textures.
Cathedral is the closing monitor from the album After-Picture. It’s the language of come down. Of church Requiems given a tragic digital wash.
Sounds are barely there and stand up as if into some vaulted nave. It has a Baroque really feel of neo classical choirs celestial. An ineffably unhappy finality to all of it.
A paean to life pressure, to the soul should you like, but additionally celebrating an ending.
For the saddest Ambient Sundays.
