why we love this

A garden of earthly delights is illuminated by a sky of sweeping electron beams. Steel antennae dance as retro synth artifacts rise above cosmic background radiation. A reverie in Hertz.

about the record

Ambient explorers SWIMS unpeel another heady debut, with the maiden effort by Korean artist Soo Kyung Kim, also known as soo:k.

The curtain raises on Orchadia with an elysian glow: electro-acoustic compositions that paint a golden topography of impossible fruit and uncanny astronomy.

soo:k's utopian brushwork draws obvious comparisons to the work of Hiroshi Yoshimura, and his meditations on the glacial pace of hidden, verdant spaces. Frida Kahlo's portraits of everyday life, painfully intertwined with magical symbolism, also resonate in Orchadia's mulchy catalog of fleeting moments.

Entropy takes hold as the record meanders, an Edenic vision creaking apart to reveal ripe, fetid spaces between the ribs of clay.
