Transcendental Radiation

Manchester label Sprechen released an EP by Todmorden cosmische band Lines Of Silence last month with an album and another EP lined up to follow shortly. 

The Radiate EP begins its orbit with Transcendental Radiation- warm bass, squelchy synth sounds and a ticking rhythm, a spaced out joy that should be the soundtrack to what the four astronauts saw from the windows of Artemis II last week, the earthrise coming into view as the spacecraft clears its journey round the back of the moon, dissolving into dub FX before heading for splashdown. 

There is a further version, the Kayla Painter Remix, an ambient remix by Bristolian artist Kayla, that softens the sound even further and bathes it in a golden, liquid glow. Third track Walrus (Amaury Cambuzat's It's A Rainy Mix) is a stompy, flipped out techno track remixed by Ulan Bator/ Faust member Amaury, a darker, more subterranean take on the Lines Of Silence sound. 

The EP is at Bandcamp and Transcendental Radiation will be part of the forthcoming Lines In Opposition! album. There's another EP, Harmonise, due too which comes with a Psychederek remix. We'll return to both at some point in the near future and in May they're supporting The Utopia Strong in Manchester.
