Lessons On Shells

by Canadian Rifles

supported by

Dawid Scumwalski Canadian Rifles hailing from Portugal, is one of the new, young, experimental/synth (IDK how to call it) I have been avidly following for years. He makes what could be referred to as 'ambient,' but it's so much more than that. Excellent synth passages and an incredible and unique atmosphere of hopelessness and depression. This specific EP is a very short offering, but I sincerely and wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone; it's one of my current, absolute favourites.

about

Navigating notions of the age-old human obsession with death, Canadian Rifles’ latest venture explores this flirtation across a duo of synth-forward drone compositions. Dwelling on the poetic ideal of collective action as a glass monument over death. "Lessons On Shells" is a work of deep and bold duality, death and glaring beauty inseparably entwined, like blood on snow.

we're all beside a wooded creek, laying on this silken mossy chord, listening as leaves tumble down in succession. the pond nearby catches each leaf and we sync our thoughts using the chain of ripples in the water. thanks a lot for this one. recommended for relaxation or when it just gets to be too much out there Ews Nsj

By The Sea
by yolabmi

supported by 5 fans who also own “Lessons On Shells”

Tactile and sublimely recorded sound with equal care given to the arrangement. Yolabmi's work stands out in the worlds of field recording, electroacoustic, and musique concrète. Been a fan for a while now. I went crazy on a limited budget trying to decide which albums to purchase. 'By The Sea' on Vaagnar is one of my favorites and that cover art, damn. Lost Tribe Sound
