We’re pleased to annouce the release of double A-side single Abraxas & The Brightling Star along with the video for The Brightling Star
The Brightling Star
‘The Brightling Star’, a brand new companion piece to Abraxas, continues the theme of unity and connection but rises from a dark and fiery chaos to bring resolution and renewal. It is the moment of synthesis after conflict; every fracture contains the seeds of harmony. The music grows gradually, until all elements converge in a crescendo of pulsing trance. At its peak, the refrain resounds like an invocation: “The Two, Become the Many, Become the One.”
Abraxas
“Abraxas“, taken from Palindrones’ third album ‘Chapter Two: The Slender Blade’, is a magickal experiment on sonic alchemy — a ritual of opposing forces meeting in ecstatic collision. The track conjures a space where chaos and harmony intertwine: brutal, distorted breakcore rhythms crash and convulse beneath a weaving, joyful melody. The result is a soundscape both blissful and violent — a paradoxical dance of creation and destruction.
Press
“Their latest Abraxas & The Brightling Star serves up dreamy, ethereal vocals over rapid, ravey-type programmed beats, acompanied by drum pads, synth drones, and washes that are somewhat similar to Aphex Twin. This combination may seem somewhat incongruous on paper, but when delivered to the listener, it is simply nothing short of dazzling…”
“The track itself is a masterclass in sonic duality: blissful melodies weave above brutal, distorted breakcore beats, conjuring a space where chaos and harmony coexist.”
“intense yet melodic, as if casting a spell on the listener, making sense from chaos, and transforming energy into beauty”
