Don Rincon Announces Spotlight City LP
Dan Rincon (Osees) is announcing his debut solo LP, Spotlight City. The album will be available on May 3rd via Castle Face records. The project sees Rincon building electronic soundscapes for the imaginary Spotlight City with his cadre of synthesizers.
Ahead of the album’s release, Rincon has shared lead-single “Cessna.” Described as a droning, electro-orchestral track that kicks off of the record. Simultaneously indicating signs of hope and sadness, the song is releasing alongside a video from Delaney.
Rincon and OSEES frontman John Dwyer offered the following words about the track:
Artificial landscapes and mellodies comprised of Moog Grandmother, Mellotron and a kinky Modular system span from beautiful and lilting to haunting and etherial. The album was a years long learning experience of getting all components and ingredients to link arms and blend comfortably.
Wrangling was part of the process. Strings soaring and sines weaving.
Sometimes in the atmosphere, sometimes in the Earth’s core, sometimes flanked by neon blur as it hums & weave patterns through a world imagined in vintage sci-fi pulp.
“I was listening to a lot of solo Roedelius and Conrad Schnitzler records while writing this record and I’d say that both have been hugely inspirational on what I want to do as a solo recording artist. The way both of those of those artist pushed the early, chaotic electronic music into something more melodic is really inspiring to me, it’s not that dissimilar than trying to get melodies out of a modular synthesizer.”
An absolute necessary slab for anyone a fan of CF, OSEES, Popol Vuh soundtracks , 8 bit video game accompaniment & 80s Tangerine Dream
