{"product_id":"reveries","title":"Reveries","description":"\u003cp\u003eSonic Cathedral release the new album by American ambient trio Dawn Chorus and the Infallible Sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eReveries\u003c\/i\u003e is Zach Frizzell, Marc Ertel and Damien Duque’s first album for over three years, and follows the success of their debut \u003ci\u003eLiberamente\u003c\/i\u003e. Together, the trio craft delicately textured and slowly unfurling sonic vistas, occupying a unique aural domain that lies between guitar-driven drone music and modern classical compositions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith their individual projects they are incredibly prolific, but Dawn Chorus releases are few and far between and \u003ci\u003eReveries\u003c\/i\u003e represents a refined evolution, leaning more heavily toward string-based arrangements and compositional virtuosity. It is the very essence of what they are calling “dronegaze”, pushing the boundaries of the ambient genre while embracing a profound auditory expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccording to the trio, the six, long tracks on Reveries are “heavily reliant on improvisation, intuition, and allowing the compositions to exist in their own moment; the aim was a feeling of fluidity and a sense that every instrument has its place and purpose”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd they’re right. The opening title track emerges quietly in a swirl of strings; lead single ‘Deus’ eases its fittingly reverent grain into a glorious minor-key immensity; ‘Cadere’ pulls together a cast of orchestral instruments into a comforting devotional; ‘Somnium’ plays out in diffuse, shimmering melodic rounds; ‘Vale’ blossoms from a pair of sparse, alternating chord swells; and ‘Aufero’ is the perfect coda that reprises the low-end rumble of the album’s overture before being swept away on a sea of dissonance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“We live in an era of infinite distraction,” says Zach Frizzell, “where often the most valuable thing you can find is a respite for the soul.” How right he is. This, truly, is music from a higher place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sonic Cathedral","offers":[{"title":"Orange LP","offer_id":50409560637771,"sku":"2188088","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50409560441163,"sku":"2188087","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/SCR275LP_vinyl_5862dbe6_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726618862","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/reveries","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
