TARELITHI // MYTHOS — The Signal Remains

🎧 Soft Algorithm – Her Silence Is a Signal
💿 404 Lovers Found (1977)
🎶 Romantic synth-lounge / melancholic disco
📍 California, 70s | Reconstructed archive
🎛️ This version was carefully restored from damaged tapes by Rick Raster in 2025.

Soft Algorithm was a ghost-band – existing somewhere between romanticism and melancholia.
According to recovered archives, they were active briefly between 1975 and 1978 before vanishing without a trace after a performance.

Only one blurry photograph remains, and too many unanswered questions.
The alleged frontman, VAL RAYMOND, the mysterious Tarelithi institution, the lost show in Mexico – none of it can be confirmed.

Except for one thing:
this sound still exists.

💿 Album: 404 Lovers Found
The title plays with the error code – “love not found.”
Or maybe it was… just incorrectly.
The only surviving track: Her Silence Is a Signal –
a ballad about a love that shouldn’t have happened.
Hazy, pastel, synthetic – romance for no one.

📻 “You’re dancing at the end of sadness.”

Her Silence Is a Signal

🎶 Sunset Cache – She’s Just a Sunset
💿 Golden Hour in Static (1978)
🌅 Retro beach psych-pop / melancholic yacht-rock
📍 California coast, fading light and tape hiss

🎛️ This version was carefully restored from damaged tapes by Rick Raster in 2025.

Sunset Cache was like a mirage at dusk.
A band said to emerge from the California coastline — but always in the last hour of daylight. Their only known track, She’s Just a Sunset, sounds like a love letter sent too late. Dreamy synths, ghostly vocals and tape-warped memories you were never meant to hear.

Fronted by Bobby Vane - forever-boy in socks and sandals.

The band disappeared in 1979.
Only one cassette remains. It reads:
“DON’T LET HER HEAR THIS.”

💿 Album: Golden Hour in Static
A title evoking something beautiful — but always ending.
Sunset Cache was music you could fall in love with.
Just not for long.

🌊 “We sang for the sun. But it never stayed.”

She’s Just a Sunset

🎶 Neural Fang – I Bit Myself Loving You
💿 DEVOUR_ME.TIFF (1979)
🖤 Proto-industrial / dark synth / cyberpunk disco
📁 Glitched memories and cold circuitry

🎛️ This version was carefully restored from damaged tapes by Rick Raster in 2025.

Neural Fang is a band no one remembers — but their signal never stopped.
Some say they were just a computer-generated hallucination. Others swear the bass made them bleed. Either way — something happened.

Their only known recording, DEVOUR_ME.TIFF. It’s not a song — it’s an infection.

Fronted by CRISTEL – a masked signal from UNIT-68.
No concerts. No survivors.
Just one scan from a Dutch zine, captioned:
"NEURAL FANG: PLAYED BY NO ONE. INFECTED ALL."

💿 Album: DEVOUR_ME.TIFF
A corrupted file of feeling.
You downloaded it once.
Now it won’t let go.

👁️‍🗨️ “One person reportedly vanished at every concert. No investigation was ever opened.”
