BOLTLP003:
Obfusc - Cities of Cedar
Release date: July 29th 2008
Format: CD
Price: £6.49 GBP
"...an album that will certainly be in my top ten at the end of the year!" - Crumbs in the Butter
"a smashing bit of work and gets a big thumbs up from me." - Smallfish
Obfusc returns with his much anticipated debut full-length album. Alongside beautifully crafted tracks from Obfusc himself, there are also remixes by other artists.
The artist envisages this release as a “sort of statement of acceptance to urban existence, for good or worse”, and this collection of beat-based organic electronica and minimal ambient interludes conjures up images that parallel the artist’s own photography – a focus on the details and textures of everyday life, an aesthetic of urban decay that draws attention to the beauty of the abandoned and disused – cracked and peeling paint, rust, discarded objects, empty spaces.
A specially commissioned video for 'Amateur Cartography' by Jason Banker also accompanied the first batch of CD sales on a beautifully-packaged, limited edition DVD.
(DVD also featured additional IPod compatible video and bonus desktop wallpapers)
