CASSETTE STORE DAY 2019 RELEASE | DALLAS ACID - THE SPIRAL ARM

Cassette Store Day 2019 Release

Delighted to welcome Dallas Acid to our shelves with their special Cassette Store Day pre-release of the new album fromthe Austin, Texas based dreampop trio. The band are currently touring with Bill Callahan. This is their first release for All Saints Records, where they join a celebrated roster including Brian Eno, Harold Budd, and John Cale. Their unique mix of minimalist electronic music with a big ballad sensibility creates gorgeous, utterly compelling immersive soundworlds.

The band describe the creation of the album as follows:

“’The Spiral Arm’ originally began as a live performance at the Scobee Planetarium in San Antonio – a soundtrack meant to accompany a visual journey through the cosmos. When we took the pieces out on the road over the next few months, these primarily improvisational ambient works evolved into the more traditionally-structured songs you hear on the album. We combined the more straightforward, melodic approach to songwriting we took on ‘Spa Hunter’, with the more lavish orchestrations and experimental environments of ‘Original Soundtrack’.‘The Spiral Arm’ still functions as an auditory transport for interstellar adventure, but it’s focus is pointed firmly back to the human experience on planet Earth: celebrating love and life, overcoming gut-wrenching tragedy, and coping with the increasingly bizarre, science-fiction reality we face as a species every day. We hope the listener finds beauty, courage, inspiration, and at least some sense of comfort and shelter from the storm.”
