Sanctuary Lakes present their debut,
self-titled album, out 21 June on
Cutters Records. It is a new project
featuring members of Cut Copy and
Midnight Juggernauts, forged out of lo
fi folk psychedelia, instrumental
library records and delicate electronic
sounds.
Opaque soundscapes forged from fluid
basslines, aqueous guitar, naturalist
field recordings and vague
incantations, the Sanctuary Lakes sound
values feeling over form, intention
over intellect, imagination over the
explicit, a faded watercolour image
offering an ocean of interpretation in
which to swim.
Borne in Brooklyn during idle time
improvising in front of the meditation
station on television, Tim Hoey sent
rough sketches of his noodling to Andy
Szekeres in Melbourne, initially to see
what his old friend made of them.
Beyond merely offering feedback,
Szekeres went ahead and added to the
songs, initiating a workflow than
became an almost wordless conversation
between the two, as files drifted back
and forth with the currents until
deemed done.
Arrangements are left loose, choruses
never come - or that's all there is,
extended instrumental passages
emphasise atmosphere over action, and
field recordings of the channel whisper
low in the mix. Production across the
album has a gently edgeless, soft-focus
feeling akin to being submerged in a
boundless body of water, at once
engulfing and instinctively comforting.
As two musicians with years and albums
of experience under their belts,
Sanctuary Lakes came together during a
period of reflection and faint anxiety
that their best ideas might be behind
them. Work on the album acted as a form
of therapy and confirmed that the
stream of creativity still runs strong.
Tim Hoey is most widely known for his
work in Cut Copy, Andy Szekeres in
Midnight Juggernauts. Together they are
Sanctuary Lakes.
"In a sea of love, you and me belong,
endless together."
