Night Sky [LP]

U.S. twelve inch vinyl pressing. There is a fantastic quality to Gavin Russom's work, an otherworldliness that is subtle yet palpable. It's heard or felt, more precisely in all of his projects, including the Crystal Ark, Black Meteoric Star and his numerous recordings with Delia Gonzalez. All of Russom's sonic astral projections, with their textures and atmospheric layers, demonstrate his astounding production skills and modular wizardry. As DFA's studio engineer, he was entrusted with the hefty task of maintaining the label's analog stockade. Russom has built custom gear for the likes of James Murphy, Black Dice and Holy Ghost!; has remixed artists including Juan Maclean, Cut Copy and Caribou; and filled out the wonderful music of LCD Soundsystem. So it's no wonder that Russom's newest solo outing, Night Sky, reflects the talent and experience accrued in all those roles with both stunning precision and audible clarity.
