Toronto-based artist Brad Deschamps aka anthéne is back with a new album called Maritime which is out now via Phonica Records. According to the press release, A shift from his usual expansive, time-stretching soundscapes, maritime is something altogether more grounded, more focused. It signals the call of the open ocean, of its vast possibilities and terrors, as a similitude for the night.
In both, one faces the peace, the limitlessness, the reverence, and the promise, while at the same time the uncertain, the uncontrollable, the danger and the fear of the unknown. In such a way, maritime is presented in two parts: Side A demonstrates the beauty and inspiration of ocean views and night time explorations, while Side B addresses the vulnerable nature of vast, boundless experience.
