This Will Destroy You tease Vespertine

2020-06-04 by Fernando Alves STAFF | 18 Comments
This Will Destroy You posted four video teasers for their upcoming restaurant score Vespertine set for release on CD and digitally on June 9th via Dark Operative with a vinyl edition slated for release June 23rd, with preorders to be made available soon.

Vespertine was composed for Chef Jordan Kahn's 2-Michelin Star restaurant of the same name. The score originally ran exclusively at the physical site of the restaurant in Culver City, California since its grand opening in late 2017. The program consists of seven pieces specifically written for moments within the building itself (and even the space around and on top of it).

The sequencing of the album is an attempt to mimic the order in which diners at Vespertine encounter different spaces throughout their experience. "Rumble" is the ever-present hum and ominous force surrounding the immediate exterior of the building. "Entrance" signifies the crossing over from the terrestrial realm into the inner atmosphere of "The Waffle" structure, where the evening begins to unfold. "Kitchen" is a warm, hospitable piece that accompanies a personal encounter with Chef Kahn. "Rooftop" and its celestially inspired movements often pair perfectly with clear nights atop The Waffle. "Dining Room" sets the tone for a multi-course main dinner service. "Exit" is another transitional piece signifying the end of the main service and setting the stage for a supplemental experience. Finally, "Garden" welcomes diners back into a semi-terrestrial realm wherein after-dinner sweets and beverages accompany reflection upon the evening's moments, all in full view of the looming architectural monolith that is The Waffle.

Preorders can be found at: http://thiswilldestroyyou.bandcamp.com/music

Vespertine follows This Will Destroy You's Variations & Rarities: 2004-2019, issued digitally via Dark Operative May 1st. The first in an ongoing audio series, the collection culls from the band's deep archive of demos, unreleased tracks, variations on material that later evolved into something else, unused soundtrack cues, and everything in between. Variations & Rarities: 2004-2019, Vol. I is available for download via Bandcamp and can be streamed across all digital service providers.

Nice. It'll be good to actually get in on one of these guys album cycles. They were always a better band than I gave them credit for, to the point where I saw them live by chance in 2015 and barely paid attention.
