Elegance unfurls on the fourth planet from the sun, crowded with vegetation and activity. Hiraeth Records presents a long-awaited release, the first of its kind in five years and concocted over a four-year period. Label owner and electronic music legend 猫 シ Corp.’s space epic: Blueberries on Mars.
An odyssey awaits.
Through a confluence of hardware synths, digital synths and field recordings, an otherworldly vista materialises in the mind’s eye. An immaculate soundscape, sombre in moments and miraculous in others. Once desolate celestial bodies now sway and bloom with life and energy. Unknown animals call out from deep within the undergrowth, cries echoing through the rich ink-black canvas of space. 猫 シ Corp. builds a detailed world beyond this theme of new life in distant lands.
Sweeping pads that paint the deep colours of an epic space journey: 猫 シ Corp. grants passage to an alternate universe, well-honed musicality and adventurousness in sound imbues this journey with a bewildering realism. The wait is over, an odyssey awaits!
