Wilderness

April 8th, 2016

Wilderness was created as the auditory companion piece to Joey Ciccoline's film, Eidolon. It is not a soundtrack but, rather, an album that underscores the same world of dark mysteries, lossed loved ones and grappling with the conflicting nature of letting go.

WILDERNESS is the tenth full-length album by American fantasy synthesist MAKEUP AND VANITY SET. The double-album is a long-form meditation on the technology of human life and death and features contributions from JASMIN KASET, BIG BLACK DELTA, THOMAS BARRANDON and THE PROTOMEN. The first proper follow up to the acclaimed formative album 88:88, WILDERNESS is a dense sci-fi concept album about outliving death through technology. Released on the synthwave label TELEFUTURE, the album lives in the tradition of the worlds of William Gibson or Stanisaw Lem, a cold, exacting futurist experience from start to finish.
