Ahead of a showcase at this year’s SXSW, Austin based electronic musicHolodeck Records is premiering with us today an acoustic drift into synthetic somnambulism in Drab Majesty’s new song Cannibal.
The song segues deeply into newer dimensions of ambience, but despite being so experimental, Deb Demure doesn’t dissociate too far from his established cosmic persona.
On his almost Lynchian way the song’s composition evolved Deb elaborates:
“I wrote it during a very meandering journey from LA to Seattle back in 2016, where I intermittently stopped to rest in sleepy train towns in the forest; recording in old hotel rooms with a makeshift studio I brought with me.”
Cannibal is featured on the label’s debut compilation album—the 30 track Holodeck Vision One which is set for release on March 9, 2018.
The compilation is financed in part by members by S U R V I V E (the band that won an Emmy for their score of Stranger Things) and features that project’s own Kyle Dixon, as well as other artists such as Michael Stein, Bill Converse, Automelodi and more.
