Pleasure Boat Records (purveyors of the finest electronic musics)

02/04/2023

Hello friends,

Pleasure Boat may be under the sea but I am releasing an album as SkyGas off-label. Limited edition of 90 cobalt blue cassettes available!

Listen to Welcoming Absence and the newly released Spectacles from the upcoming album, immediately at https://skygas.net/album/lp

I'm thrilled to begin emitting all these SkyGas creations. Your support means the world, thank you. Details below.

- Ian / Naturebot / Pleasure Boat

--------------------------------------

𝙎𝙆𝙔𝙂𝘼𝙎 is the new moniker of Seattle's Ian Price.

This debut album is the sound of a seasoned musician stripping away all tools of ease and attempting to avoid all inclinations found in their past music. The result is a perpetual horizon machine of sound, canvassed in joy and solitude. The script on Ian's previous music as Naturebot has been flipped, removing all the intricate production and vertical density found previously in favor of letting these hallucinatory fantasias spread out across wide valleys of time.

𝙎𝙆𝙔𝙂𝘼𝙎 presents a visceral and emotive landscape of fractured melodies colliding with each other. Opener Settling In feels like a transmission from a long lost gospel radio show, while Autumn in the Tundra provides endless waves of muted colors. Acceptance of the Unknown provides a dreadful sense of comfort, following a flitting synth on the spritz bouncing around waves of tape loops of combo organs. Album closer Spectacles rumbles and flutters across massive layers of modular synths before imploding into a nebula of minuscule melodies.

Release date: February 21st, 2023
Label: Direct from artist
Digital/Cassette (ltd edition of 90)

If you have enjoyed the work we put into Pleasure Boat over the years, you may just enjoy what old pleasure boss Ian is up to now.

Ian, aka Naturebot, aka 𝙎𝙆𝙔𝙂𝘼𝙎, has filled his first album as Skygas with the sort of new-age-with-abrasions you're unlikely to hear in any respectable establishment, and the album is now available for pre-order (digital/cassette) at skygas.net !

A bit about this-
