Spanish experimental electronic artist Ana Quiroga, known for her notable releases as part of electronic music duo LCC, collaborations on Nicolas Jaar’s Other People label, and Modern Obscure Music, presents her debut solo album, ‘Azabache.’
At its core, ‘Azabache’ is a mesmerizing album that delves into the realms of magic and rituals, while being deeply anchored in place, family, and heritage. The album navigates through experimental ambient soundscapes, drone techno, industrial synth-based sonics, and organic sound recordings blended with synthesizers, drums, and drones.
‘Azabache’ harmoniously fuses contrasting elements; the natural landscapes, majestic mountains, and wild seas of Quiroga’s homeland in Asturias are interwoven with its rich industrial heritage. Sci-fi technology, drone techno influences, and dark distorted sounds coalesce with enchanting themes of folklore, witchcraft, and mysticism, crafting a perplexing paradox of machine-like precision (symbolizing the scientific and the proven) and the ethereal world of magic.
This fascinating juxtaposition melds the tangible and intangible, offering a unique sonic experience that blurs the boundaries between the natural and industrial, the technological and mystical. ‘Azabache’ invites listeners on a sonic journey that transcends the ordinary, venturing into a realm where the earthly and the supernatural coexist.
