Occulting the Sun

One year after recording, Third Man proudly presents an LP documenting the August 21, 2017 total solar eclipse in Nashville, TN. Quintron's Weather Warlock, a handmade weather - sensitive analog synthesizer, interprets this celestial event. The A - side, Microburst Hail Storm, starts with a recording of a microburst hail storm in Las Vegas, NM. It begins with a light, hypnotic drone, shifts to percussive tapping as the hail takes over, and ends with ovular sonic raindrops. It's a captivating listen and a great appetizer for the B - side. The B - side, Path of Complete Totality, starts with a steady whirr, then slows down with a pinging, dragging heartbeat to a cold quiet. It offers a unique taste of totality and is a powerful metaphor for life's cycle. The label art emulates the stark image of a full solar eclipse. This LP is a must - have for fans of cutting - edge ambient music and those who've experienced a total solar eclipse. It comes in standard - weight vinyl with a die - cut black LP jacket.

Using this LP is easy. Just put it on your record player and enjoy the unique sounds that take you on a journey through the 2017 solar eclipse. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting fingerprints on it. Keep the LP away from direct sunlight and heat to prevent warping. Store it in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original jacket. After each use, gently wipe the vinyl with a soft, anti - static record brush to keep it clean. This will help maintain the sound quality and ensure you can enjoy the music for a long time.
