Now featuring on M.P.R Ambient is the new album by Andrew Lang entitled 'Frailty'.
Releasing: 1st November 2024
‘Frailty’ is the new album by Andrew Lang, a composer and musician from Adelaide, Australia. Frailty represents a new direction for Andrew, departing from his piano-centric neoclassical ambient compositional approach, and instead turning to electric guitars, effects pedals, synths, field recordings and tape machines. The result is a collection of dreamy, blissed-out dronescapes, which maintain the delicate, emotional sensibilities of his past music, while embracing thick, sustained tones and washes of noise.
The track ‘Years & Years’ features a guest saxophone performance by Derek Pascoe, which Andrew ran through a chain of effects to transform and blend into a ringing, reverberating fog of sound.
Andrew recorded the bulk of Frailty between 2020 and 2022, a time of emotional upheaval for him, due in part to the once-in-a-generation events of that period. This range of emotions, from nostalgia and loss to optimism and joy, is etched into the compositions that make up Frailty.
Released by the 'Perceptual Tapes' label and available as a professionally duplicated cassette tape with printed shell and double-sided j-card. Limited to 50 copies.
