Uun returns to his imprint Ego Death for its 6th release, and its first full length album.

'For nearly two years our cities, which were once teeming with life, have become liminal spaces. Even Detroit, a place physically shaped by human departure, feels increasingly empty.

I can't help being reminded of all the other liminal spaces that frame my early memories - the dusty hallways at school, an empty pool drained during a long winter, the doctor's office waiting rooms that always smelled like anxiety. There's a nauseating sense of the past echoing into the present, of the nostalgia and dread of childhood re-entering into the vacuum of our current lives.

This is a difficult feeling to turn into a 'techno album', as it has few obvious connotations. In my approach to the piece, I knew I couldn't rely on melody, because the emotions it provokes are often too obvious to accurately capture this concept. The experience of liminality is intangible; there's a sense of vague familiarity that is slightly out of reach. Instead, I incorporated field recordings and mangled sounds from the real world. It's an album that relies on a sense of physical space, but a space you can't quite put a name to. A space that feels familiar, but you're not sure why.

The project is made whole by the evocative artwork of Ryote, who brings the themes together in a unique visual style. The beautifully printed vinyl sleeve represents the three aspects of liminality; physical, mental, and digital, and ties them together with the music contained within.'
