KOAN Sound, renowned for being forward-thinkers in the electronic music industry, recently came out of a two-year hiatus to unveil their latest work. Their fresh album, ‘Led by Ancient Light’, is far from just a collection of tracks; it’s a unique blend of visual, literary, and audio elements, showcasing the duo’s unmatched innovation.
The Bristol-based pioneers have truly taken the album experience to another dimension. ‘Led by Ancient Light’ is more than just an album; it offers a vivid blend of storytelling embedded within a sci-fi theme, drawing listeners into a realm where chaos morphs into purpose. This transition is captured starting with the inaugural track “Embers From The Chaos” and culminating in the harmonious finale, “Solace of the Red Giant.”
Diverging from their previous style, this album leans more towards organic sounds. There’s an emphasis on instruments like piano, cello, organ, and double bass. Yet, KOAN Sound retains their signature electronic sound flair, resulting in an intimate and cohesive musical experience, especially with the interplay between the cello and piano.
Elevating the project’s depth, an accompanying novella and immersive audiovisual content are included, fostering a rich, interactive experience. The duo expressed their intention for this album to be more than just music. They aim for it to serve as an immersive journey, drawing listeners into the intricate world they’ve crafted. The underlying message emphasizes the search for personal meaning amid life’s uncertainties and emphasizes the significance of our bond with our environment.
With ‘Led by Ancient Light’, KOAN Sound has undeniably set a new bar for electronic music, showcasing their creativity in crafting a holistic album experience. Adding to the anticipation, they have also revealed plans for a North American tour scheduled for the fall. Fans eager to dive into this remarkable project can stream ‘Led by Ancient Light’ now.
