Lunar Module are thrilled to announce the release of a new Hawksmoor album from Bristolian musician James McKeown, 'An Aesthetic' – Experiments In Tape. 'An Aesthetic' is a testament to McKeown's dedication to exploring the boundaries of sound. By layering the wow, flutter and warble of tape artifacts, he crafts a sonic landscape that echoes the ethereal hiss and mist drenched ‘rural psychedelia’ of Bristol's own Flying Saucer Attack, as well as the early hauntological, experimental landscapes of Mount Vernon Arts Lab. The album transports listeners into a realm where buried melodies meet avant-garde creativity creating a journey through sound, texture, and atmosphere.

Working as both ‘An Aesthetic’ and an aural ‘Anaesthetic’ this release takes the notional concept of Hawksmoor’s hauntology further than before and into a liminal space of sonic saturation. Broken tape loops provide washes of hiss and flutter that blend with snatches of mellifluous instrumentation. Four-track mind, Tascamaraderie. A bifurcated listening experience from travelling through a hypnagogic rainstorm dreamscape.
