Andrew Anderson - Thresholds (2026)

Elevator Bath proudly presents "Thresholds", Andrew Anderson's long-awaited new album, his second for the label and first ever vinyl LP.

These subtly unnerving sound collages were hewn in live performances, in moments shared with others after months of isolation. The imperfections and surprises of these live actions were embraced, developed, and interpreted while preserving the amalgamation of carefully designed sound art and raw free association.

Anderson's original field recordings and found sounds were the building blocks for the uncanny assemblages of "Thresholds". The distant rumblings of an approaching storm, the squeaking of unidentified objects moving across a surface, beautiful sustained tones, chopped voice snippets — these elements and countless others wrestle for supremacy in Anderson's compositions. Ultimately his unique phrasings and dream logic both prevail. Some of these sounds are recognizable but many are not. Instead, the thread of a disquieting atmosphere runs through these works, binding the diverse components into a set of eldritch musique concrète.

The final form for these nebulous pieces is an album that, once heard, is not easily shaken. With "Thresholds", Andrew Anderson has managed to transcribe a phantasmagoria of haunting images and reverberations, often felt but seldom rendered.
