The new longplayer from Steve Moore, his first non-soundtrack album in over five years. Pressing on black vinyl, houswed in a gatefold sleeve with download code included.
A prevalent figure of the modern synth era, Moore co-founded the influential synthprog duo, Zombi, and has scored more than a dozen feature films and TV shows, including The Guest, Crunch Time, and Mayhem. Composed and produced by Steve Moore in his home studio in upstate New York, Beloved Exile is a collaboration with internationally-renowned Tunisian singer-songwriter Emel Mathlouthi, visionary harpist Mary Lattimore, and veteran percussionist Jeff Gretz. Drawing influences from vintage ambient synth libraries, New Age/spiritual music, and menacing horror film canon, Beloved Exile proves to be simultaneously exquisite and deceptively unsettling. It is appropriate, then, that a literary treasure like John Darnielle (The Mountain Goats), would provide the song and album titles - his masterful mind most fitting to put moniker to this mercurial triumph.[info from label]
