Trails
Western Skies Motel, the instrumental solo project of Danish René Gonzalez Schelbeck, releases Trails, his fourth album and first for The Point Of Departure Recording Company.
The self-produced album was primarily recorded with Jakob Høyer, who shares a studio in Copenhagen with Trentemøller. Jakob also engineered and mixed the record and played drums on a couple of tracks.
A multi-instrumentalist, René played most of the instruments on Trails - electric and acoustic guitars, some synthwork and piano here and there, and the tape manipulations - with Leaf recording artist / composer Julia Kent (who has also played with Anohni and the Johnsons, Swans) providing cello, Nils Gröndahl (Under Byen) violin drones and Jens Hein bass.
Deeply meditative, the album’s warm, intricate textures are built around haunting guitar lines, tape loops and various drones. A profoundly immersive piece of art, Trails shares the transportive characteristics of the finest film soundtracks, a record able to subtly and effortlessly evoke emotions of the listener.
