: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Over his first three albums, HomeshakeÆs Peter Sagar followed :,
: his own idiosyncratic vision, a journey thatÆs taken him from :
:' sturdy guitar-based indie-pop to a bleary-eyed take on lo-fi ':
,: R&B. Now, with Helium, Sagar is putting down roots in aesthetic :,
: territory all his own. :
:' ':
,: It comes through not only in the gauziness of the production, :,
: but also in the vulnerability of the songs themselves. Everyone :
:' Sagar encounters here ù including himself ù seems to be a step ':
,: removed from present reality, whether by technology (ôAnything :,
: At Allö), solitude (ôJust Like Myö), or sweet fantasy (ôLike :
:' Mariahö). The record is stitched together by a series of ':
,: instrumental interludes, synthesizer explorations whose haziness :,
: adds to the suspicion that this is all an uncanny dream. :
:' ':
,: Where his previous three records were recorded directly to :,
: one-inch tape in a local studio, Helium was recorded and mixed :
:' by Sagar alone in his apartment in Montreal in early 2018. ':
,: Freed of the rigid editing process heÆd endured before, he was :,
: able to lose himself in pursuit of tone and texture. A budding :
:' interest in ambient and experimental music pushed him to tinker ':
,: with the micro-sounds that surround the songs here. ItÆs a far :,
: cry from the chorus-laden guitars of his earlier work. ôEver :
:' since I started introducing synthesizers into my music, IÆve ':
,: gotten more interested in texture,ö he says. ôIÆd hit a creative :,
: dead end [with guitars], so synths took over.ö The warm chords :
:' of a Roland Juno 60 form the albumÆs base, and gave him a clean ':
,: palette with which to work. ôNo tape hiss, no humming power :,
: outlets and shitty mixing boards,ö as he puts it. ôEverything :
:' just came out nice and pure.ö ':
