why we love this

Glassy digital textures splinter into flickering fragments, like tiny constellations appearing on a faulty screen. Somewhere between the glitches, a machine dreams of human touch.

about the record

Paradessence, Visible Cloaksโ€™ third full-length, is a work of emergence and illusion. The albumโ€™s fourteen songs shift, heave, and shimmer against a faintly luminous backdrop of night, a cavernous space shaped by sparse, hyperreal representations of the natural world. The arrangements are simultaneously grandiose and fragile, both an inversion and a culmination of what came before, and as adventurous as anything theyโ€™ve produced so far. Since transforming from Cloaks to Visible Cloaks in 2014, Spencer Doran and Ryan Carlile have mapped a complex matrix of oppositional concepts: organic and artificial, chance and deliberate, authentic and replicated. The balancing act of Paradessence brings these strains into greater urgency as life in the 21st century is reordered by these same tensions.
