Babe, Terror Ancient M’Ocean

Phantasy

Ancient M’Oceans is the beautifully mysterious new album from Brazilian experimentalist, Babe, Terror. The Sao Paolo producer invites us into his strange yet intimate imagined world that whirls and fizzes with an uncompromisingly lo-fi aesthetic.

Awash with feedback, tape hiss, submerged noise and woozy analogue equipment, the record has a delicate aesthetic that makes the album feel unusual yet familiar. Its warm but strung-out and warped melodies that drift over the top add a deeply personal flavour. Its rough, grainy structures traverse twisted Pop, lo-fi experimentalism and distorted Ambience to create endlessly curious psychedelic compositions that imbibe beauty and depth of feeling with each turn.

The producer’s richest and most expansive work to date, Ancient M’Ocean is a highly immersive soundscape that truly takes you on a journey into the unknown. Yet from the hazy mist of foggy, meandering layers emerges something warm, personal, gentle and approachable. Babe, Terror at his ingenious and distinctive best.
