ALNILAM drops new Under the Sun EP!
This EP has been years in the making and has a very dreamy and atmospheric soundscape that invokes a feeling of being swept away in its instrumentation and harmonies. It is a partially crowdfunded production that gradually moved forward against a backdrop of change and unpredictability. During this time, California faced fires, riots, lockdowns, and the pandemic. Some instruments had to be recorded remotely, including a full orchestra in Macedonia. Shortly after recording vocals, Elena Pinto (ALNILAM) moved to a little surfer town in Costa Rica, where she is building a small permaculture-type farm.

the impliers Release Their Much Anticipated Alternative and Psychedelic Synth Rock Album, ‘cocoon’
cocoon is an eclectic collection that hangs together with focused artistic intent. It defies genres, yet exhibits a signature sound as it winds through lush indie-folk, synth-pop, ethereal electro-pop, dream-pop, grimy distorted indie rock, cinematic almost-Western soundscapes, industrial pop, piano balladry, and dark wave. Thematically, the pair explore heavy topics with abstract poetics. “cocoon is a very vulnerable album that explores some of the complexities of the human condition and the impact it has on all of us in a very honest way. The cocoon that is our human self for our soul is an interesting metaphor for us,” Dan says.
