Blood Music has announced that they, in coordination with Leftfield Records, will be releasing Swedish ambient group Carbon Based Lifeform’s upcoming fifth record Derelicts on October 6th, 2017. Per the label, this album will be the return of the duo after a six-year hiatus and will be, “…their most haunting work to date.”
From the label:
“Using a vast array of analog synthesis alongside sampled dishwashers, water pumps, escalators, and teething toys; the album comments on the most organic of life forces through its own constructed machines.
Recalling similar atmospheres as Brian Eno’s Apollo music, Aphex Twin’s early works, and Boards Of Canada – CBL is the obscure soundtrack to a longstanding search between the nature of Earth and extraterrestrial existence. Best enjoyed with a bottle of wine (or two) and a massive pair of headphones.”
With the recent wave of synthwave and electronic-heavy scores permeating throughout horror films, such as It Follows, Beyond the Gates, Maniac, and the like, bands like Carbon Based Lifeforms reminds us of other emotions that permeate through the genre. There is just as much beauty, wonder, and majesty to be had in electronica as there is in horror.
To get a taste of what they’re like, below is the track “Interloper” from the 2010 album of the same name.
