Dasha Rush will release her first album in eight years on raster.

Contemplating is Rush’s first album since Sleepstep, a collection of sound collages that, interwoven with text passages, aims at creating a dream-like atmosphere. Across nine ambient tracks, she takes listeners on a transcendental journey through ethereal landscapes and immersive textures.

“From the very first note, Contemplating captivates with its intricate layers of atmospheric harmonies, meticulously weaving together a tapestry of minimalistic sonic elements,” we’re told by the German label.

“As the ethereal soundscape unfolds, listeners are invited to embrace the moment of stillness in a realm where emotions and thoughts intertwine, creating a sonic experience that is both introspective and otherworldly.”

Rush is a Russian-born artist who spends her time constructing a rather wide assortment of electronic music and art projects. The majority of her work is released on her own imprint, Fullpanda, and its more experimental sub-label, Hunger to Create.
