Staff Picks: A.R.T. Wilson - Overworld
For fans of: Pastel Sounds
What they're saying: Resident Advisor’s Andy Webb summarizes the sounds heard on Overworld: “Wilson's album goes down the path of new age music, exploring the performance's themes of nature and the elements while sticking with his familiar low-budget synth and drum machine instrumentation.” And the Test Pressing blog provides the following guidance for listening: “The short pieces here, together, form a cyclical journey, and are maybe best undertaken as a whole, as an exercise, like a mediation system of three-fold attunement, or yoga at sunrise, like a scholar at his first class preparing a blank mind for the day to write upon.”
What we say: Groovy New-Age modern dance pastel rec-center jams. Originally issued as cassette in 2014, Overworld is now reissued on vinyl by The Numero Group.
