Watchtower, by Fractalyst

Watchtower

by Fractalyst

supported by

_pythia There is a peculiar vulnerability to watchtower's world - not just in the sense of it feeling threatening or desolate, but fractured and fragile and in need of empathy and care. Favorite track: In the Dead of Night feat. Cities Last Broadcast.

ernstlat dense dark ambient songs Favorite track: Opaline Apparitions.

fritz_gruber this is a quiet and warm beauty.

Michael If you’ve seen Annihilation on Netflix, listening to this album is like walking into the Shimmer. Due to its imaginative and utterly unique sound palette, I spent the whole album visualising bizarre lifeforms inhabiting the ecosystems of a changed and future earth - an incredibly immersive and beautiful experience. This one is special - what a debut! Favorite track: Opaline Apparitions.

about

Fractalyst joins the Cryo Chamber with his debut album Watchtower, a post apocalyptic journey painted on the thickest walls of sound. Analogue and modular synths run through tape

After so long in the underground facilities alone, you discover an encrypted signal, coordinates that lead to the Watchtower, the new eden. “There’s nothing for me here any more” you mutter to yourself, and a journey to vast post apocalyptic lands begins

Recommended for fans of the post apocalyse, analogue textures and soothing warm tape noise
