Rafael Anton Irisarri - FAÇADISMS (Black Knoll Editions)
Rafael Anton Irisarri - FAÇADISMS (Black Knoll Editions) Rafael Anton Irisarri’s FAÇADISMS is a haunting, mesmerizing exploration of the fractured echoes of late capitalism. Composed over three years, this album stands as an elegy for the broken promises of the modern world - a meditation on disillusionment, decay, and the cyclical nature of history. It’s a record steeped in electric despondency, where every track reflects the relentless churn of political and societal crises. The eight compositions move like the receding tide of a great storm - slowly, inexorably - guiding us through a melancholic aftermath of dust, delusion, and memory.
In this expansive, deeply introspective work, Irisarri’s impeccable production illuminates a fragile beauty amid collapse. His soundscapes weave a tapestry where past illusions linger, slowly fading into a haunting, intangible memory, and the future feels uncertain, its contours blurred. FAÇADISMS is an exquisitely crafted reflection on modernity’s fragility - the broken promises, the constructed myths, and the inevitable unraveling that leaves us grappling with what remains in the wake of disintegration. It was released on November 8, 2024, through Black Knoll Editions. Ace!
