Sepalot – Black Sky [LP]

On this album, the former Chasing Clouds have accumulated into the eponymous Black Sky; these drifting soundclouds have swallowed a bulk of Sepalots sunny nature; his trademark relaxed attitude gave way to instrumental melancholy and pugnacity. “Before I started recording I listened to lots of The Doors songs. I found the suicidal aspect in their music very exciting. I totally inhaled it,” Sepalot reports. “The breakage, the grid, the dirt – that was my inspiration. I was thirsty for the energy of pureness.” In order to capture this roughness Sepalots first production steps were drafting soundsketches — often more than 100 in a row. This is then is followed by a sorting process with many drafts going immediately into the trashcan. The survivors create the first basic draft. There is something waiting in the wings.
