Ancient Infinity Orchestra

It's Always About Liberation

via Tokyo Buy Buy Diary View post →

The third album from English large ensemble Ancient Infinity Orchestra, inspired by Edo-era haiku poet Yasuhara Teishitsu and his attempts to capture beauty too profound for words. Flute, piano and brass meet across a wide open soundscape; lead track 'Akshay' carries the spiritual glow forward. The title nods to poet Moor Mother at We Out Here 2024: 'It's always about love, it's always about liberation.' Out on Matthew Halsall's Gondwana Records.

An hour-long blast of feedback that maps where Asian shoegaze is right now.
