Pre-Order: Ital Tek - Mind Abandon (CD)

Ital Tek's new album 'Mind Abandon' embraces a human touch in contrast to the dense, world-building drone of his previous work. This time, he set out to compose away from the computer as much as possible - working instinctively and allowing himself to get lost in the music. The natural starting point was his own voice, processing vocals into shifting pads and textures. His guitar sits at the centre of much of the record, joined by live, hand-played percussion and effects. The result is an album of spacious contrasting dynamics, with textures pressing against each other and rhythmic elements fighting to surface from the viscous, layered sound.
