Daniel Avery builds a living, breathing sound world on ‘Tremor’

Revered producer and composer Daniel Avery today releases his ambitious sixth studio album ‘Tremor’. Channeling every corner of his sound, the record is a bold and transportive body of work through euphoric shoegaze, submerged techno, ambient soundscape and industrial bliss. It remains unmistakably Avery yet dramatically evolved.

‘Tremor’ is an inner world built from chaotic noise, transcendental ambience and voices that echo around it like pulsing transmissions from some distant ether world. All those sounds on ‘Tremor’ sublimely flow and blur together to leave the listener disconnected from the here and now. It’s as close to magic as music can get.

“I’ve never had a more inspiring time making a record” says Avery. “This is a living and breathing collective. Since the earliest recordings ‘Tremor’ felt like a studio in the sky, a space in time through we could all pass. Every person on the record leaved their unique mark but the power lies in us all working together. It’s a beautiful lesson acid house has taught me: no one’s energy is more important than anyone else’s… especially my own.”

All the energy poured into ‘Tremor’ by Avery and the collective he built has created a free-flowing album that effortlessly draws multiple different styles of music into one shimmering whole. Rhythm tracks shudder and quake like techno records or jungle breaks transmitted from the bottom of the ocean, each a huge sonorous, slowed down depth charge blasting out of the planet’s inner core. An acid drone on ‘Haze’ flows in on a thunderous sub-bass line that carries the kind of power that could reshape landscapes around it, while the ethereal ambience shared by album opener ‘Neon Pulse’ and ‘A Memory Wrapped in Paper and Smoke’ floats on with the elegance of summer rain falling onto still glass.

On ‘Tremor’, Avery has welcomed an inspiring cast of collaborators, including the likes of Alison Mosshart (The Kills), Walter Schreifels (Quicksand/Rival Schools), bdrmm, Julie Dawson (Newdad), yeule, Ellie, Art School Girlfriend, yuné pinku, and Cecile Believe. Each artist leaves their indelible mark, yet the record’s true power lies in the communal spirit at its core.
