Harle, Danny L: Cerulean (indie exclusive-blue vinyl) LP
| Availability: | In stock |
In tomorrow! Danny L Harle presents his highly-anticipated XL Recordings debut, Cerulean. Following 2021’s immersive Harlecore project, Harle considers it his true debut. “It really is the big one.” Cerulean is a voyage into vast, alien sonic landscapes where speaker-blowing bass and euphoric trance synths meet classical harmonies, tactile sound design and Harle’s own field recordings of waves lapping against the shore. It embodies Harle’s pursuit of melancholic euphoria - a blend of megalophobic majesty and raw humanity - inspired by Andrei Tarkovsky’s Stalker, existing “on the threshold between dreams and reality.” Seeking “the best melodies sung by the best voices,” Harle enlisted an exceptional cast of collaborators, including Dua Lipa, Caroline Polachek, Clairo, Julia Michaels, PinkPantheress, Oklou and MNEK, alongside newer voices like kacha, and even his own daughters. Across 13 tracks, the record balances dancefloor power with emotional resonance to brilliant effect. Cerulean arrives on Imported Limited-Edition Indie Blue, Black Vinyl, and CD. Update: Dua Lipa has been announced as the feature on track, “Two Hearts”.
