Glenn Astro
leans into the twilight months of 2024 with a new album from his
Delta Rain Dance
project. Divining fourth world sensibilities from his restlessly curious studio workflow, Astro weaves a mesmerizing tapestry of sound on
Music For Autumn
which treads the line between horizontal meditation and head-nodding, backroom-ready groove. Amongst his constellation of myriad aliases, Delta Rain Dance spells out the inspiration Astro takes from fourth world pioneer
Jon Hassell
. The project first surfaced with a string of tapes, LPs and digital releases around 2018, all carried on a label of the same name to keep Delta Rain Dance enclosed in its own space independent of Astro's many other musical endeavours. "I'm really into the world building aspect in science fiction and fantasy," says Astro. "This is my way of creating worlds and spaces that co-exist next to each other. Sometimes they collide but mostly they exist peacefully next to each other or pursue some form of cultural exchange by collaborating with each other." There's a strong sense of balance and cohesion throughout
Music For Autumn
, as organic percussion and instrumentation wraps around delicate synthesis and patient drum machine pulses so naturally it's hard to spot the joins. The sound has plenty of room to stretch out, from the mantra-like chimes and rattles of the album opener "Green Light Fade" to the luxury funk of "Mmmh, Nice" (featuring fellow Tartelet alumni
Nelson of the East
). At times the electronic elements seem to entirely dissolve, not least behind the loping strings and tumbledown percussion of "Second Sleep," while achingly beautiful closer "Plucked" centers on the fluttering movement and expression Astro elicits from his modular setup. True to the project's influences, a consistent ambiguous mood lingers in the air over
Music For Autumn
somewhere between far-flung mystery and comforting familiarity, reliably calm but equally contemplative. It's an odyssey of serenity with enough nuance to make you really think, perfect for the days getting shorter, leaves crunching underfoot and the last fading rays of warmth from the sun.
