about

Angelides presents his most personal work to date through his new album Oxygen, released on Ancestor. Becoming a father to twins in 2020, he channels the emotional dimensions of bringing new life into the world while processing his daughter’s diagnosis of cerebral palsy. ‘Stepping into parenthood for anyone is chaotic, and her condition felt like another foreign, unknown experience,’ he reflects. ‘Writing Oxygen out of that place was an embodiment of “life is messy” but distilling it into something that therapeutically felt right and that I want to share with people on the outside.’ With Oxygen, Angelides arrives at a vivid new horizon of his multi-genre output, intertwining his signature electronic palette with an array of orchestral incantations performed by the London Contemporary Orchestra. Across eleven compositions, expansive synth distortions meld with the lucent glow of instrumentation. Never shying away from heaviness musically, Angelides augments an explosive resurgence of identity as he transcends into a new chapter, presenting a release charged with his embrace of vulnerability and finding light in the darkness.

It's a glitch this album exists. It's the waiting music, saying goodbye before your soul gets infused into your body, but somehow it stayed in LORN's mind and he shared it with us all. wraehkel
