Description
Private Agenda - Île de Rêve
Limited edition 9 track LP cut over 12" and packaged in 5mm spine reverse board sleeve featuring sleeve art by Jiro Bevis.
Limited edition 13 track CD, including the Aura EP. Featuring sleeve art by Jiro Bevis.
Île de Rêve, the second in a series of conceptual releases from London-Berlin Balearic Pop duo Private Agenda, following the 'Aura' EP, is a majestic tour de force full of regret and longing but also love and light. An Immaculate conception and consummate production that takes inspiration from island spaces and the stories that emerge from them.
The opening tracks 'Bounty' and 'Sea Life' echo the motion of waves splashing onto the shore of an idyllic atoll. 'Ultramarine' meanwhile invites us to dive beneath the waves – a sort of musical immersion therapy. 'Monsoon' is a lonesome lament, the sound of rain trickling down the window as you peer longingly into the distance in cool, darkened room. 'Solitude' continues the theme with its warm, sparse piano chords separated by the cold, ambient space which seeps in-between. 'Malanai' finds solace in the intricate beauty of stargazing as pathfinding before 'P.S.R.' (Point of Safe Return) completes the journey. An escapist cruise at high altitude, it’s a heady end to a deeply transcendent trip into the cosmos.
