Beyond The Valley Pt. I - Forest's Gate by Asher Levitas, released 01 March 2019 1. Pendant 2. Cocoon 3. Spores 4. Burnt On 5. Footprint 6. Splintered 7. Lanck Asher Levitas returns with the first chapter of his Beyond The Valley series, which is to feature unreleased and collaborative material. Beyond The Valley PT. I - Forest's Gate cuts through the greyscale everglade of his recordings for Planet Mu and the neon-lit cyberpunk pop of his production work on the last Paper Dollhouse album... Across the first steps into this seven track valley, Asher creates a seamless mix of sounds that blur the edges of alien observation ambient and icy electronics. Those searching for reference points within the darkness will find similarities with the harmonic resonances of Sarah Davachi, the long-form drones of Grouper within the first unfolding minutes, while the latter half moves toward realms of frost bite starkness of Arv & Miljö and zoviet:france's cold water industrial. Echoes of Asher's past material as one third of Old Apparatus resonate through the undergrowth, yet the pathway Asher takes forward is one that carries with it an underlying sense of searching for escapism within the unknown...
