Title: Life After Death
Artist: Rabit
Label: Halcyon Veil
Product Type: VINYL LP
UPC: 5060165484607
Genre: Electronic

Rabit presents Life After Death, his third full-length album. The album was recorded in home studios in Houston, Texas and Paris, France, and is the culmination of two years of experiments in various forms of synthesis. Like Les Fleurs Du Mal (HALC 016LP, 2017), Life After Death marks a further advancement in the development of his own distinct musical language. Realized through genre-free expressions that pull inspiration from Surrealist art to DJ Screw, Enigma, and Japanese ambient artists like Hiroshi Yoshimura, the album has an exploratory, transcendental core. The project's artwork (a cut-up mandala?) can be seen as a reflection of the artist's kaleidoscopic approach to this pivotal new album. This is a transformative moment not only for the creator but for the listener as well. Rabit notes, "the probing and revisiting of genres in electronic music felt fetishistic and limiting and wasn't the best way for me to communicate." Instead, his approach reflects a wider, broader sound field. Rabit adds, "Exploring sound is alchemy if you want it to be, but I would be wary to explain these aspects of my work because there's a raw understated quality to the record that I want to respect. I think the occult term is interesting because I don't hear this explored in music in ways that I find relevant. I leave it to time and the intelligent listener to make up their own meaning." Life After Death is in some ways the sonic equivalent of an early Alejandro Jodorowsky movie, or maybe even like being guided through a tarot reading by Jodorowsky himself. It's an alchemical, mysterious and captivating listen, yet also futuristic. Rabit is thus further removed from his early work for labels like Tri Angle by building himself a more dreamlike, fluid universe. As he says, "Surrealism is still around in different ways; it is a feeling. I think there's something trying to communicate itself under the surface in the tools we all use to express. It's important to me to let that speak. This new way I create is more satisfying than ever because there are layers and feelings that reveal themselves over time." Artwork by Collin Fletcher.
