alexandra a lush and comforting record Favorite track: Protection.

rikm Calm, peaceful, blissful, these are just a few words that I can use to describe "Protection", an excellent Ambient release by anthéne that has found a firm spot in my heart of late.

Languid, drifting, Perfect...

James A. McDermid More swathes of magically unfolding pads and barely-there melodies from anthéne. Always fulfilling, and this is no exception. Favorite track: Know By Heart.

about

Brad Deschamps lives and works in Toronto, Ontario. In addition to curating the excellent Polar Seas Recordings, he is a prolific recording artist, creating glacial post-rock in the duo North Atlantic Drift and offering drifting, dreamy compositions as anthéne. Amid a current deluge of ambient music, Brad's work stands out for its keen emotional acuity and microscopic attention to detail.

On "Protection", anthéne crafts elegant melodies and sets them adrift in a fog of gauzy tones, underlaid with crackling textures. These heartfelt and thoughtful soundscapes reveal new facets with every listen.

Beautiful. Mesmerizing. Great balance between sounds and swells. Even the high-pitched feedback patches are pleasant. Terrific production. This feels right. johnpenola
