ADORAN is a duo featuring Aidan Baker (also of Nadja, WERL, Hypnodrone Ensemble, etc.) & Dorian Williamson (also of Northumbria, Holoscene). Combining elements of post-rock, doom, sludge, & drone, the duo makes heavy, spacey, trippy music to shake your head & your body. Their debut, self-titled CD was released in 2013 and their second, Children of Mars, in 2015, both on Consouling Sounds.
Artemisia is Adoran's fourth full-length release and, unlike previous albums, was recorded via file-sharing. Dorian's bass-tracks were recorded in Cobourg, Canada and Aidan's drums, and the final mixing and mastering, in Berlin, Germany. This gives the album a much different feel than previous records, a starker, stripped-down, and more minimalistic vibe, while still attempting to keep the interplay and intuitive responses between the two musicians intact.
Edition of 100 cassettes housed in a diecut cardstock case
Aidan Baker has always been a musician's musician, particularly gifted and exceptionally talented, and on "The Forever Tapes" those talents and gifts are on full display, finding Baker at his best amid a perfect blend of media.
Great stuff that comes highly recommended... rikm
If Sonnborner proves anything, it's that Nadja only continue to refine, expand, and experiment with their sound as time goes on, and quite successfully so at that.
