interlopers by Josh Sager
“interlopers” is a categorically dark and dystopian ambient album, Sager’s fifth release in the genre. It addresses more deeply the grittier themes that have incrementally featured in each of his previous efforts. Drawing on his formative years as a devout metal, industrial, and techno fan, and his love for H.P. Lovecraft and apocalyptic fiction, Sager knew at the outset of the album’s creation that he wanted to explore those influences. In many ways, “interlopers” represents a return to the aesthetic preference that helped define his early life. The result is an album that is staunchly tense and unsettled, captivating the listener in a musical language beset by the unknown.
