Li Yilei – 之 / OF

Chinese sound artist Li Yilei envisions an organic electronic dreamscape on her second full-length project for UK label Métron Records. Born out of a 16-day quarantine alone in a Shanghai hotel, the record explores the abstraction between the passage of time and the wild oscillations of how the mind perceives it. Each track is a journey and there’s a pervading feeling of hope that reaches to the natural and digital with equal force. Bird songs float above exquisite undulating arpeggios creating a supernatural sonic world that quietly invites listeners to get lost in it.
