Fourth single from "Cortisol 22", the wonderful fifth album from Perth-based electronica artist Liminal Drifter. "Cortisol 22" sees release on the 19th of September 2022.

More on Liminal Drifter here: https://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/liminal-drifter

Though shot through with undeniable beauty and hope, the music on Cortisol 22 is shadowed by a number of serious health issues faced by Simon Order (aka Liminal Drifter) over the last couple of years. The album title refers to the hormone produced by the body during stress – something that Order faced repeatedly after experiencing a heart attack in late 2020. While recovering in hospital, Order began working on the music that would form Cortisol 22. The resulting album is an hour-long exploration of music as balm and recuperative destination.

Opener ‘Child’s Play’ is a deceptively emotive slice of chilltronica, drawing on some of the dub vibes of 2020’s Connected, while wrapping the whole thing in a blanket of ethereal nostalgia. Latest single ‘Box Seat’ is a sun-drenched sonic playground, with an insistent acoustic guitar line, intricate percussive details and beatific electric piano. ‘Cut Out’ is clean and shimmering, punctuated by golden horns and keys, with a positive momentum counterbalanced by the bittersweet taste of leaving something behind. And ominous Boards of Canada vibes are woven into standout ‘Once a Day’.

“The world has become so surreal we don’t know what to make of it. But to hear these sounds is a comfort.” – A Closer Listen on Connected

Part of the opening track from my latest ambient album Real Life and How To Avoid It, out on CD, download and streamies.

This track (like most of my music) was improvised live in my studio with most of my synths rather than just the laptop. 
It is another example of me exploring ways of making even more minimal music that is still satisfying.

This is a song about someone falling in love with a hologram. Or maybe about a hologram who falls in love with someone. I dedicate it to Erasmo Carlos, Louise Brooks, and The Flamingos.
