about

Maine’s psychedelic fountainhead Matt LaJoie traffics in a multitude of mind-expansion entities (ML Wah, Herbcraft, Cursillistas, Endless Caverns, etc) but even by his standards Thick Air is a heady sphere. Longform improvisations on Yamaha PSS-270 and loop unit born of deep listening and higher consciousness, channeling French mystics and astral planes.

Pillars Of Creation takes its title from the iconic 1995 Hubble Space Telescope photo, and radiates a similarly interstellar mood. Bass tones wobble in spiral patterns beneath slow blooming arcs of celestial keys, like dawn breaking on some gaseous moon. Gradually gravity takes hold, drawing its harmonic cosmos into a unified field.

LaJoie cites intuition and accident as foundational to the Thick Air process. Trusting the free-fall of creation and decay, motion and miasma. Modulating FX in pursuit of a levitational singularity, forever unfolding and unfound.

You can become lost in this lush, beautiful and bleak soundscape. It creeps along like a nightmare that you want and need. There's also something cold & lost about these melodies like being weightless in space: yet welcoming like coming home after a long journey. Soothing but unsettling at the same time...in the best ways. Knifemaiden
