A year on since the collaborative Mystic AM project in 2022 Rod Modell returns solo to Astral Industries with AI-35. The album - entitled 'Ghost Lights' - comes as a gatefold 2x vinyl LP showcasing the latest epoch of Modell's signature soundscapes. Spread across four parts 'Ghost Lights' draws out a wide cinematic sound - with long arching contours rippling textures and cavernous sound design. Woven with layer upon layer of hidden fragments and supernal transmissions each chapter takes the listener successively deeper into the twilight zone. Harking to dramatic off-world topographies and interstellar spaces the work glistens with opulent sound treatment and monumental grandeur. Dense pulsations move with oceanic force marked by washes of celestial light and subterranean drones. Exercising another side to Rod Modell's typically atmospheric productions this album comes with an ambitious framework and a more assertive sound. Featuring some of Modell's most epic storytelling to date 'Ghost Lights' delivers a powerful immersive experience.
