As the mind and body continue through cycles of death and rebirth, they lose the ability to imagine sight when their eyes are closed. To KERUB, Aphantasia means forgetting, forgiving, and finding solace in that we cannot change. A follow up to their 2023 album ‘MIN’, Aphantasia bridges the gaps between genres, hybridizing experimental and pop sounds in visceral and beautiful ways. Created to be enjoyed on the dance floor and alone in your room, these 10 tracks span soft elegance to breakbeat fantasies pushing through the boundaries of genre using KERUB’s unique songwriting and production approach.
Aphantasia pulls KERUB closer to pop music than ever before, but still treating it with the same level of irreverence that they are known for. Production wise KERUB draws from breakbeats, acid techno, experimental club and hyperpop to surround vast harmonies and avant-pop stylings. Aphantasia was made to interrogate KERUB's obsession with the underground, and revitalize a vision of their own style and self. Marking their first time releasing on an independent label, KERUB views their sophomore release as a congregation of worlds, and ultimately as a way forward.
Harsh noise and beautiful harmonies, a combination of old and new, that's what it's all about.
