Marcel Thee, the singer of Sajama Cut just released ‘Slow Midnight’ under his moniker, Strange Mountain, as he puts forth an experimental project that explores synthscape sounds and melodies that clash with intent timings.

The result is an ethereal sound that explores mystical spaces within the depth of layers of each song. An audial journey in a seemingly longer 5-song EP as it builds you up throughout songs and the album as a whole. With ‘Omnipresent Memory’ being the centerpiece of the EP. Fully showcasing the depth that ‘Slow Midnight’ really is, blending nature sounds and majestic horns to create an ominous atmosphere only to be cleared up halfway into the song to a brighter and reassuring composition.

‘Slow Midnight’ is released through the Chicago boutique label Lillerne Tapes with 50 limited home dubbed cassettes and they are going fast, but you can still buy the it digitally here.
