Information


Description

From the label: "The latest by liminal lo-fi trawler New Mexican Stargazers is an ode to hypnagogic horizons and interstate bliss, nodding off in the backseat while desert midnight radio whispers on the wind: Highway Dreamscape. Streaked in hiss and spliced with jump cuts, the songs snake through moonlit vistas and nameless neon truck stops, a mix of blasted keyboard cruising and planetarium parking lot raga. It’s music of delirium and dusty airwaves, homegrown and half-conscious, revved up road trip anthems melted into woozy astral Americana. A roamer’s paradise, ripping and dipping through lost lands of enchantment, until the infinite grid of freeway lights dissolves into the grainy glow of meteor showers."

HIGHWAY DREAMSCAPE is NMS's latest and has achieved modest attention, being played by Tom Ravenscroft and Laurel Halo on BBC, appearing in The Wire magazine, and reaching the front page of Bandcamp Daily. The album combines the best elements from many of the project's previous albums: the sleek but murky production and recording techniques from AQUA TEMPLE, the dusty beats and synths from EPIPHANY SKYSPACE, and the expansive new-age soundscapes from the project's debut, DESERT'S ZENITH. The project is inspired by the likes of James Ferraro, Spencer Clark, Jonas Frederiksen, and many others. After a relatively quickly sold out tape release, it only makes sense to bring the album to the classic vinyl format. Don't miss it!
