We Become Mist

LA based composer/sound designer duo Heliochrysum with the release of their visceral, deep and exploratory debut album We Become Mist. Taking their cue from a shared palette of sounds, textures, and rhythms, Heliochrysum create a unifying score that is at once improvisatory and sonically certain.

We Become Mist is nothing short of the progression from a souterrain awakening to the terraformed sound of a new world coming into existence. These tracks overlay analog sound sources, digital hard wrought processing, and visual sound design, constantly morphing and turning on their own searching torque. Mixed by Ben Frost and mastered by Valgeir Sigurdsson, the accumulation of sheer vision and depth is transportative, if not outright mind-wrenching.

In between this melding of the analogue and digital was mixed another element: the album is tinged with psilocybin technology. As a listener, you can hear as you move through a psychedelic passage, like out of a state of lockdown into one of alien otherworldliness.
