{"product_id":"fera-psiche-liberata","title":"Fera - Psiche Liberata","description":"\u003cp\u003eProper trip gear from Fera on Maple Death.\u003cbr\u003eWe got our hands on some of the last copies of this gem, with a recent box of goods from the label (and Fera's latest tape too, check us).\u003cbr\u003eServed up in a good-looking sleeve with Fera's own illustrations, no less.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe were about to write a whole bunch of stuff about how much we love this record, and then, whilst getting our facts right, read the description from the label, and we realised that all has been said here. All you need to know, is written below. Do us one favour though - make sure to turn up the sound whilst reading - it'll help explain it all in the very best way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Mixed in Berlin by Steve Scanu ‘Psiche Liberata’ encapsulates Fera’s dense and intricate thought process in contrast with his simple and direct approach to writing and recording that finds its more natural output in his rapturous live sets where a mono signal runs through a few analog pedals transforming instantly into menacing alien grooves and fluid\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e ecstasis. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike ‘Psiche Liberata’s artwork, hand-drawn by Fera, every detailed miniature leads to a single cell of sound, tracks collide against each other in a psychotic kaleidoscope where every safe space is confronted with subsequent noise, alterations or interruptions. The black terror of ‘Celestial Anacusma’ is followed by the space-jazz banquet of ‘Milk Tears In The Hug Chamber’ doped up cyber Sun Ra extravaganza featuring Laura Agnusdei and Luigi Monteanni (Artetetra) on saxophones and flutes; ‘Silenzio Solare’ sprinkles Mille Plateaux era minimalism all over hallucinations, while ‘Diluvia’ crosses industrial acid with perpetual motion; title track ‘Psiche Liberata’ murmurs mechanically, a downtempo drifter for the wide-eyed 7AM comedown: ‘Simulacrima’ melts Boards Of Canada’s mellow pastoralism with dystopian meta-level dreamland and ‘Riposa’ showcases an overwhelming melancholy executed with elegance in a slo-mo world where the ineffable transcends notions of ambient and becomes a warm embrace. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCreated on a Monotribe, MS20 \u0026amp; Volca Sample\/fm, ‘Psiche Liberata’s velvet heaviness was achieved by re-amping many of the instruments through a Leslie Rotary Speaker and a reel-to-reel Telefunken. Fera’s sonic tapestry is in constant flux, underlying themes of love longing and affection run through the record but in a turbulent, volcanic, unleashed fashion, almost on the brink of utter noise or complete silence, reminding us that this is an artist like no other amidst the ever changing electronic scene. These are transmissions from the gutter, where the inevitable meets the unattainable and collapses.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003eYou heard.
