"The latest suite by composer (and
Stars Of The Lid
co-founder)
Adam Wiltzie
took shape following a move north from Brussels into the Flemish countryside, although it was initially inspired by a recurring dream wherein 'if someone listened to the music I created, then they would die.' The album uniquely evokes and evades the allure of oblivion, keening between beauty and ruin, forever unresolved. Wiltzie cites the barbiturate of the title as both muse and sacred escape: 'When you are sitting face forward on the daily emotional meat grinder of life, I always wished I could have some, so I could just fall asleep automatically and the feeling would not be there anymore.' Recorded at Wilzie's home studio, with strings added in Budapest at the old Hungarian National radio facility (Magyar Radio), the tracks feel simultaneously intimate and infinite, unfolding vistas glimpsed in an inner space.

Loop
mixed the album, further lending the music a sense of cinematic expanse and oblique hypnosis. These are fugue states as much as fugues in a literal classical music sense -- smeared epiphanies of uncertain memory and spatial dislocation, coaxed from the unconscious and set aloft."
