JAPAN & PORCUPINE TREE SYNTHESIST RICHARD BARBIERI RETURNS WITH NEW STUDIO ALBUM āHAUNTINGSā GATEFOLD 2LP EDITION, PRESSED ON CLASSIC BLACK VINYL
Richard Barbieri remains one of contemporary musicās most distinctive voices. Emerging as a key architect of the late ā70s/ā80s synthesiser revolution with David Sylvianās art-rock ensemble Japan, his visionary synthesiser
programming expanded the horizons of electronic music & left a lasting mark on artists from The Human League & Duran Duran to Gary Numan & Talk Talk. His subsequent & ongoing tenure with Steven Wilsonās legendary progressive outfit Porcupine Tree across albums such as āIn Absentiaā (2002), āFear Of A Blank Planetā (2007) &, most recently, āClosure/Continuationā (2022) further affirmed his status as one of the most intuitive & unique musicians of his generation.
āHauntingsā is Barbieriās first studio album since 2021ās āUnder A Spellā, deepening the pensive, dark
instrumental aesthetic of its predecessor. A diverse collection of immersive sound worlds, both dark & uplifting
in equal measure, āHauntingsā is influenced by a nostalgia for the past & future, & for things that didnāt happen yet still manage to haunt the mind & soul. What is real & what is simulation? The album finds Barbieri at the height of his powers, his deft keyboard & sonic architecture conjuring a shadowy, creeping Lovecraftian atmosphere. The music wanders through the streets of a gloomy lamp-lit Victorian London & drifts into grain-speckled snapshots of Belle Ćpoque Paris. These journeys into the past are contrasted with nihilistic but euphoric forays into the future, āTravelerā & āA New Simulationā bristling with the itchy modern anxiety that often runs through his best work.
Contrasting the sound designs & electronics of Barbieri, the album features performances from renowned musicians Morgan Agren (drums & percussion), Percy Jones (bass guitar) & Luca Calabrese (trumpet).
This 2LP 45 RPM edition of āHauntingsā is presented in gatefold packaging & pressed on classic black vinyl.
