Sebastian Palomar “Laughing at Columbus”

21 Mar 2014 — Richard Greenan

Italian synth artist Sebastian Palomar returns after last year's wonderfully perplexing The Physical and Emotional Benefits of Swimming – an aquatherapy doctrine with musical accompaniment, refracting Debussy and Hype Williams through a fishbowl of self-help hokum. "Laughing at Columbus" is the first glimpse of Seb's new EP, Invent Your Universe, which plays out like a machine-washed love letter to Carl Sagan – all saturated keys, hypnotically distorted new age samples and gently bubbling drum machines. Invent Your Universe is out very soon on Dramatic Records.
