Monadh - Muara

(LP+MP3) Eine ruhige Ambient-Platte mit warmen Tönen, für Freunde von The Sight Below, Loscil und Biosphere.



Everyone's looking for inner peace of some kind—even warmongers. As most intelligent people know, music is one of the most effective ways to achieve that blessed, blissed state. The debut album by Seattle producer Monadh (Jake Muir) offers yet more crucial aid in the war on stress. Muara is an ambient album in the purest, chillest meaning of the term. Its seven tracks are awash in aquatic signifiers and textures, each one is a rejuvenating dip in healing, icy waters. (Muara is Javanese for estuary.) Which isn't to say that Muara should be filed in New Age sections of record shops (not that there's anything wrong with that). Rather, what the album most resembles is the ambient output of artists like Biosphere. Loscil, and The Sight Below—musicians who uncannily make you warm to cold tones.
