Del S. Pleaux - Cave [Dungeon Synth] (Tape - Engraven - 2024)

NAC ferric tape + 8-panel foldout j-cards + norelco case.Dubbed, printed, assembled, and proliferated by hand in the dungeon.Hand-numbered and limited to x25 copies. "The dreams of grandeurAnd of love (unspoken),Are torn away by the cold foundationOn which you lie.You awaken to a dark place,A place where the dead no longer worship.As your vision clears,There is one outstanding monumentOf note.A lonely cave."Del S. Pleaux's debut album descends into the titular cave, a darkly romantic, deliriously bittersweet, and enigmatic journey comprising dungeon synth moods, ambient exploration, and fantasy peril. With immersive field recording-driven atmospherics, unexpected chordal and compositional turns, and a unique sound palette, Cave is a singular expression of intrepid, dark music.Follow and support Del S.
