A cassette rip consisting of two 30-minute journeys into melting drippy synth Shangra-La. Canada’s very own Bernardino Femminielli brings us his second full-length cassette—a compilation of blurry psychadelia he bashed out using 7 distorted keyboards, an old heirloom piano and a drum machine. Brother, this is far-out.

RIYL: Hobo Cubes, Archers by the Sea, Sujo, practically anything in our cassette collection

1. A dizzying merry-go-round of kalediscopic synth and hazy sound effects. Chirping keyboards, inverted colors—a lightheaded bliss. Don’t forget the sunscreen.
2. A dark-matter smorgasboard with urgent washes of static, haunting vintage pianos, and spiraling minor chords. Disorienting and rough around the edges.
