ALABASTER DEPLUME GOLD 2LP LIMITED EDITION

EDYCJA LIMITOWANA - KOLOROWY WINYL ('Eye of the Sun")

OPAKOWANIE: HEAVYWEIGHT GATEFOLD / INSERT SHEET / OBI STRIP / ZŁOTE WYTŁOCZENIA

GOLD, the follow-up to Alabaster DePlume's widely-acclaimed, 2020-released cinematic instrumental LP To Cy & Lee: Instrumentals Vol. 1, introduces the world to the artist’s truest self. That is... though DePlume’s now known across the globe as the saxophonist who created that collection of wonderful, wordless music, he’s most known to fervent fans in his home zone of London, UK, as an outspoken poet and orator, beloved for his inspiring words of encouragement and sing-a-long-able songs about vulnerability, humanity, and courage.

GOLD is a sprawling double album that finds DePlume expressing both sides of his artistic character beautifully: (1) an articulate singer and songwriter who invokes the melodious crooning of Donovan as much as Devendra Banhart or Syd Barrett, whose tunes are almost like mini-sermons, full of existential comedy and spiritual enlightenment; and (2) a brilliant composer of simple, soothing, and viscerally nourishing instrumental melodies, with a gift for expanding them into intrepid collective improvisations, led by a delicate and distinguished saxophone tone that conjures the fluttery sweetness of the great Ethiopique Getatchew Mekurya.

GOLD comes in a deluxe gold foil printed gatefold LP jacket, with a two-sided insert sheet, green & gold obi strip, and dome-patterned inner-sleeves. And, in addition to our Classic Black vinyl version, a limited-edition Eye of the Sun color vinyl version will be available to indie retailers only, for the first pressing only.
