Spirals is the first full-length album by Kyiv-based electronic music artist and composer stonefromthesky.

Eclectic and unapologetic, it collides heavy guitar music with psychedelic electronica in attempt to build a cohesive, almost tactile soundscape, a descend into the spirals of consciousness. Powered by sophisticated and intricate artwork, this album is a chaotic system with its elements bonded tightly together and playing off of each other.

On the third album from Los Angeles-based Whale Fall, the band's sound continues to evolve, embracing tonalities familiar to listeners of their previous work, as well as nods to a wider array of genres and shades of decades past. The tracks on "Sondersongs" — the band's first single LP following two double albums — feature elements of post-rock, dream pop, new wave, psych, folk, indie, solo piano, and classic rock, colliding across 10 cinematic instrumental tracks. 

Recorded in El Sereno with engineer/producer Eric Palmquist (who manned the boards for their debut), "Sondersongs" considers the difference and similarities between each of us: strangers until we aren't; extras in one another's lives or perfect soulmates; the unknown depth of each of us barely sensed until it comes to light unexpectedly. 

As defined by The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, the word "sonder" means: "the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own — populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries, and inherited craziness — an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk"

The ethos of these Sondersongs encompasses stability and change, union and dissolution, each of us holding our own story within us as they collide with the stories of those around us — joining, supporting, breaking away, or tearing apart. The emotional arc of the album evokes the structure, bonds, and divisions between all of us, and ultimately the realization that we all share the same human story at the depth of ourselves.

"Won't go"  is the result of the collaboration between Islets and videomaker Eric Nyberg. With stunning visuals and eccentric sounds, "Won't go" creates an unique and exciting musical dream-scape. The video illustrates a journey from safety to something new with a soundtrack that expresses the feelings of being out of reach from oneself. Islets is the solo-project of Swedish musician and producer Robert Holm. All sounds have been recorded, mixed and mastered by Islets and it's released by Sad Turtle Records.

A great debut track and video that makes us eager for a full album or EP release!
