As randomly chosen by survey* on Mastodon, our next spotlight is on number 641 on The List, submitted by frozen.

Continuing our lives being atmospherically soundtracked, here’s a gorgeous EP from German dark electronica duo Eric Goldstein and Konstanze Bathseba Zippora, a.k.a. OAKE.

While the entire EP is wonderful, “Paysage Dépaysé”, the last (and longest) track, is a complete knock out – you may want to hit repeat on this one. As the Bandcamp description says “Immense, yawning dirge tones and dissonant strings combine with the already established presence of pneumatic drill percussion to make a timeless meditation on lost grandeur.” And it seems I’m not the only one who loves this track – check out this remix EP, which has a remastered version and three remixes.

It’s only love.

*The survey choices that led to this spotlight were “M”, “O”, and “N”, following the earlier survey with “B”, “L”, “U”, and “E”. The second letter was the winning selection, so the survey result was translated as picking the second album in The List by an artist whose name starts with the letter “O”.
