About this item

New solo LP from Kyiv, Ukraine-based sound designer Heinali. Crushing waves of distortion that bring to mind Ben Frost or Oneohtrix Point Never surround radiant sound-design in the mould of Jon Hopkins or Andy Stott. Pulsing, fluttering synth-worlds like those of Emeralds or Popol Vuh orbit through a galaxy of texture not unlike Clint Mansell’s Moon score.

Heinali - Oleg Shpudeiko - recently constructed the acclaimed soundtrack to PlayStation’s 2016 videogame Bound.

Much of his commercial and commissioned work for film, television and dance (dating back to 2009) evokes the string-orientated subtlety and tenderness of Ludovico Einaudi, Max Richter or film score great Hans Zimmer.

In November 2016 his score - described as “a stunning electronic soundscape” - for A Thread by choreographer Jean Abreu was performed at London’s prestigious Southbank Centre.

Anthem was mastered by Taylor Deupree of 12k Mastering.

Second physical release for the newly-launched Injazero Records, run by two ex-FatCat staffers. “A truly complete work, a story with a beginning, a middle and an end, and like all good stories, it leaves you with a sense of joy, the joy of knowing you have just experienced something unique and beautiful.” A Closer Listen “Achingly, longingly beautiful.” Terrorizer
“Its brilliance lies in its authority to get inside your heart and suspend you in awe.”
