It Billows Up

This is a vinyl LP pressing. The Brooklyn - based experimental trio Sontag Shogun unveil their multimedia project and third full - length album, It Billows Up. While their 2017 critically - acclaimed album Patterns for Resonant Space focused on reverse - engineering and overdubbing improvised compositions, It Billows Up offers a linear, continuous story. It features ambient blends of layered field recordings, analog oscillators, foley, and improvised piano. With Ian Temple's evocative piano, Jesse Perlstein's haunting vocals and unique found sounds, and Jeremy Young's masterful tape and utensil manipulation, the album crafts thick, meditative sonic collages that piece together the sounds of our daily life. Familiar sounds like wet footsteps, gray clouds, passersby's rants, and traffic motors surround the album, each with sparse piano melodies that drift into a synesthetic mist.

To enjoy this vinyl LP, simply place it on your turntable and use the tonearm to drop the needle gently on the record. Make sure your turntable is set up correctly and the speed is set to the appropriate RPM (usually 33 1/3 for LPs). Keep the album away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture to prevent warping or damage. When not in use, store it in its sleeve in a cool, dry place. Avoid touching the playing surface with your fingers to prevent dirt and oils from affecting the sound quality. Clean the record periodically with a record cleaning brush or a proper cleaning solution for the best listening experience.
