Tales Of The Thick Smoke (2020)
This marks the arrival of TheMicmac in the crew. Looks like he and Kota had some time to kill. What was originally going to be a collab EP became a full length record. The whole project relies on the theme of a mystical travel through space with odd encounters and artefacts from ancient civilizations. Did you say «far-fetched?» Naaaah.
As it is a pretty sample-heavy record, a lot of time was spent digging through vinyl, CDs or the internet.
It is also the first time you can see the «V» logo on the cover, made by Elise. The song « Aura Solair’ » has also been released as a single.
Features samples from: The Moody Blues, Donkey Kong Country 2, The XX, swedish commercials, Lafayette Rock Band, Kaamelott, Austra, The Cure, Cymande, movies, 70’s unreleased adult film music (yeah), Murray Head, Shigeo Sekito, Bill Summers & Summers Heat, Vulfpeck, Arnold Schwarzenegger…
