Eight years deep into their voyage through the outer margins of sound, Cosmic Wave Records reemerge from the ether with ‘In Echoes Of Fractured Light’, a brooding and luminescent EP from Paris-based sound-sculptor Anechoic.
Known for previous releases on Faut Section and Diffuse Reality, Anechoic drifts further into the liminal, sketching vast aural terrains that blur the binary between radiance and ruin. The EP unfurls like a spectral blueprint – equal parts trance-induced hypnosis and monolithic techno noir. Arpeggios shimmer like shards of broken glass, reverberating through a world built from mirrored echoes and shattered synth matter. Each track feels like stepping through another prism of Anechoic’s cerebral dreamscape.
For the premiere, we dive into Marco Shuttle’s reimagining of ‘Offcuts’ – a vertiginous trance-techno elevation that stretches time into liquid. Shuttle peels back the skin of the original and reveals a stroboscopic skeleton: submerged bass pulses, neon-lit pads evaporating into the void and machine rhythms spun tight like quantum clockwork.
It’s trance not as genre, but as state. Bells echo in distant gravity wells, flickering like lighthouses of a civilisation long submerged. Somewhere between a lost orbital rave and a ritual in the ruins of deep space, where collective euphoria and solitary drift are two sides of the same cosmic coin.
‘In Echoes Of Fractured Light’ EP is scheduled for release on 11th June via Cosmic Wave Records. Order a copy from Bandcamp.
