Kevin Richard Martin - Frequencies for Leaving Earth, Vol​. ​3 (2022)

Following on from last month's twin releases, on his freshly launched Intercranial Recordings imprint, Kevin Richard Martin returns with another enchanting voyage into deep space.

Veering between hypnotic sedatives and tsunami like tidal flows, the warmth of Volume 3 is tangible, and the melodic undercurrents are irresistible..Setting church organs adrift on a sea of sub bass meditations, there is a captivating glow within these 7 molten movements, as they oscillate between breathtaking tension and goosebump release, throughout the profane explorations…. .

When Kevin jokes its “my gospel album”, it puts a smile on my face, but once fully immersed in these songs of praise and loss, who am i to disagree ….?
Undoubtedly Volume 3 contains some of the most beautiful pieces of music Martin has ever released.
In places sounding like a a dream fusion of AFXs lushest melodies with Stars of the Lid’s most seductive sonic hymns, at other times sounding like Spacemen 3 stretched to infinity, the mood conveyed within this record is overwhelming.
Simply gorgeous.
