TENGGER - VINYL EARTHING [VINYL]

Popis - EARTHING [VINYL]:
Tengger is a traveling musical family, made up of Pan-Asian couple, Itta (from South Korea) and Marqido (from Japan), who create their brand of psychedelic new-age drone magic through the use of voice, harmonium, toy instruments (played by Itta), as well as synths and electronics (played by Marqido). The duo originally started out with the moniker "10" but, since the birth of their son Raai (who joins them on tour dancing, singing, and playing synths and toy instruments), they have called themselves Tengger (meaning 'unlimited expanse of sky' in Mongolian) to mark the expansion of the family. The name also means 'huge sea' in Hungarian. Travel, as spiritual experience in real environments and the sound between the space and the audience have been central themes of their works. The family's yearly pilgrimages inform every aspect of their art. 'Earthing' is Tengger's seventh studio album. It was recorded during the pandemic distanced stretch of 2021 in their home studio, a space they have named Studio Kyurt. The family's homestead is located in the Korean highlands. They received inspiration for 'Earthing' through their frequent walks around their home. They climbed mountains, gazed at waterfalls, and hiked to the ocean, observing and absorbing the natural world along the way. It was only then that they received a message through nature, "There is nothing divided and we are connected all in the life circulation." The family took the message to heart and recorded 'Earthing' in nature itself, paying respect to the idea of being in the now and being present. 'Earthing' was initially released digitally by Tengger themselves in early 2022. It was immediately met with praise and positive energy. Having had their debut vinyl release on Cardinal Fuzz and previous releases on labels such as Guruguru Brain, Sunrise Ocean Bender, and Beyond Beyond is Beyond. Tengger is recommended for those who enjoy the likes of Kandodo, Craven Faults, Terry Riley, Alison Cotton, Don Slepian, Popul Vuh, and Nashville Ambient Ensemble.
