Back in January, we reported about the launch of Montréal-based
Kinnta Records, the label founded by Christian Richer aka
The Haiduks and
Élément Kuuda in order to gather contributions that honor the great tradition of 60s heyday psychedelic pop and the simultaneous evolvement of library music, all in excellent fashion exemplified on the imprint's initial release
The Lemon Tape, released in cooperation with fellow Montréal label
Hobo Cult.
Now, the second Kinnta offering has been unveiled,
Ionian Dream by Soft Mirage, a collaborative project of Richer himself and Norm Chambers of
Panabrite. Comprising soft, unobtrusive synths and gentle guitars, the ten atmospheric tracks evoke visions of a future that used to be so much brighter and more promising than the present looks today, bringing back images of a distant past when mankind actually knew that possibilities were limitless.
Ionian Dream is out now. Order it
here.
