Soar – S.T.

Soar is a compilation of tape-warbled ambient pop and lo-fi indie rock from Christian Aebi, an amateur sonic wanderer who lived his entire life in Langenthal, a small town in the Swiss provinces. These sort of outsider bedroom tape discoveries are a dime a dozen these days, but the songs collected here have an undeniable and frankly irresistible charm, filled with haunting melodies, tape hiss, and layered vocal harmonies. Made from half-working keyboards, toy instruments, drum machines, and other curious tools gathered from flea markets, Aebi’s music draws you immediately into his delicately constructed floating sound world, and it’s a space you won’t want to soon leave… Highly recommended for fans of Durutti Column, Stereolab, and of course all the other incredible archival outsider pop releases on Efficient Space!
