Pedro Vian‘s self-titled sophomore album is out today on Modern Obscure Music.

The new album follows his 2016 debut, Beautiful Things You Left Us For Memories, and opens up a new sonic chapter for the Amsterdam-based artist, one that presents a deeper and more affecting sound than the soaring electronics of his debut. The tracks on the new LP are hard to categorize, falling somewhere between downtempo, dub, ambient, and avant-garde post-rock. It’s an honest portrayal of Vian’s current sonic signature, as he explains:

“I have tried to be sincere, transparent and pure. During the recording process, I avoided artificiality. I do not like the overproduction of music. I like to feel the naturalness and the essence of the beat of the instruments. I like to look inside until I find something real with which to communicate.”

In support of today’s release, Vian has offered up a full stream of album cut “Similiar Faces,” a deep and dubby slice of emotive electronics, available via the player below.
