047: Gadget by Nathan Forsyth

GADGET, the first full-length ambient album from Nathan Forsyth, is out today and ready to wash over your mind and various appendages. 12 tracks of turquoise lucid bliss, an album’s worth of auditory embalming fluid. Rest your weary weary head with this one.

Across an hour of sonic paintings, sounds familiar and atypical flow in and out of one another making for someone of a road trip through Forsyth’s mind and emotions - some songs hang in tense stillness, while others breathe and morph and portray a crushing emotional depth. Acoustic elements occasionally pop up, such as in standouts (and back-to-back album closers) “Embryo God” and “Gadget”, but, unlike on 2011 debut Horse, most are wrapped in billowing swathes of synthesizers or found-object sound collage.

GADGET a lifetime of sound in digital abstract :: look for this summer’s upcoming ASHAMED full-length album, also ~5 years in the making, for the full scope of our youngest artist's forward-thinking vision.
