about

Tokyo netscape nightingale Sapphire Slows’ first official full-length effectively expands on the tone-bank nocturnes of 2011’s True Breath EP. Recorded and mixed across 2012, and inspired by everything from St. Etienne’s plasticine euro-house, J-Pop memories, Blue Bell Knoll, and the saddest Section 25 remixes, Allegoria swirls and spirals through ten textural electronic melancholias composed in and for solitude.

The record grows more reflective and refracted as it deepens. From Casio ghost-dub (“Dry Fruits," “Third Party”) to sleepwalker techno (“Corekill,” “Fade Out") to weightless Kompakt abstractions (“Break Control,” “Meteor”), the music moves between heady, haunted highs and eerie, elegant depths. In her words: “Darkness no one can enter, only listening to this album lets you into my real world.”
