We Are Temporary
Embers
Coming in special deluxe 6-panel digipak edition with two 24-page booklets! Once again, Mark Roberts wraps these fragile topics in a blanket of sound that couldnt be more thrilling, extravagant, or unique. With overflowing pathos and grandeur, he unleashes a synthetic alchemy: the elegiac profundity of MIND.IN.A.BOX and the radical visions of FKA TWIGS; the vibrant weightlessness of COVENANT and the dark shimmer of FEVER RAY; the throbbing pulse of SBTRKT and the detached nonchalance of DEPECHE MODE. This is not just another electronic music record. It is the zeitgeist, flirting with the best elements of the genre: Witch House, EDM, Trip-Hop, Dream Pop, NuGoth, Post Rock or old-school electro explode into one massive burst of emotion, creativity, and vibration. Above everything else, Roberts is showcasing just how organic this music can sound when allowed room to breathe. Be it field recordings of wildlife or sampled and scrambled sex sighs, his music turns bodies into instruments: WE ARE TEMPORARY isn't about music as entertain ment. It is music is therapy. For himself, first and foremost, but for his listeners as well.
