Description
A quick filter sweep in The Unlimited just before the synth theme blooms says a lot about Aporia: curiosity over spectacle. Sufjan Stevens and Lowell Brams shape modular jams into concise ambient vignettes, equal parts kosmische pulse and new-age glow. The Runaround rolls on a motorik sequence, while For Raymond Scott tips a playful hat to early electronic pioneers without leaning into pastiche. Even the brief sketches feel complete, small worlds you can step into for two minutes and leave changed.
On this LP the synth layers breathe with more space, and the low end sits deeper, which flatters the album’s patient builds. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Sufjan Stevens records online with us.
It files comfortably next to Brian Eno’s serene instrumentals, but the duo’s melodies land warmer and more immediate. We’ve been spinning it in the Melbourne shop during late shifts; it suits quiet focus as much as a slow weekend tidy. Start with The Unlimited, then let it unfold at its own pace.
This considered, quietly immersive collaboration from two label founders knows when to leave space, and when to lean into a hook. Perfect for anyone building a record collection, buy online or in store today.
