HOLODEC – Tru Folk – LP – Vinyl [APR 17]

LP – Standard Edition Black Vinyl.

An irresistibly narcotic sonic palette Low-lit sounds for blissed-out ravers. FACT

LA electronic artist Holodec debuts on Phantom Limb with hypnotic new album TRU FOLK, a subtle and environmentally sensitive documentation of everyday life for distant synthesis, interwoven field recordings, and urban haze. Described as both a folk record and an audio document by Holodec – aka West Coast producer Jieh – TRU FOLK draws from 15 years of field recordings that capture a range of environments from city life to the domestic everyday.

These audio narratives form the foundation of the considerately textured representation of the same spaces that make up the record – full of earthen, grounding synthesis, semipresent melodies, and smogged-out tonal palettes. It occupies a zone somewhere between tangible and dreamlike, treating sound as evidence of living rather than an escape from it.
