Hey everyone, please listen to Sailor Winters new album entitled Blue Lines on Youtube.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rx7TNaZe3RE&list=OLAK5uy_lfttjjeIbBkC74Drf7XIf3vYkbCKKI1EY&index=2

After a six year hiatus Athens, Georgia Sailor Winters has returned with a new 13 song full length entitled Blue Lines. Blue Lines finds Sailor Winters harkening to his roots which Flagpole writer Gordon Lamb describes as “black sea-walls of utter doom and resignation that suck you straight into a vertical whirlpool of despair and isolation”. Like his earlier material Sailor Winters uses keyboards, effects pedals, guitar, bass & some hand made instruments to create a new album that artfully mixes drone with power electronics to create a very thick, heavy but tranquil sound.

“Tug Champion”, the second song on Blue Lines is an eerie cacophony of crackling static noise with drone that while harsh at the same time the faint sound of compressors and radio static appear and disappear into the warmth of hissing drone that sounds like it could be what one imagines they would hear as they approach the island of the misfit toys. The faint hiss of Robby the Robot lost in time leading mangled machines of yesteryear that continue to churn onwards to oblivion.

“Sailor Winters is the sometimes sinister / sometimes darling work of Ryan Cox from the state of Georgia. He's released a 7" (Monolith on Tsunami Records), a few albums as well as many CD-Rs on his own label, Black Noise (including his sophomore effort, Owe). His music varies in style, but is always cohesive. There are times when his playful numbers bring to mind Aphex Twin, Necropolis-era DJ Spooky or very early Xiu Xiu. There are other times when his raging sounds will remind me of The Grey Wolves, Merzbow or Bastard Noise.” - Witch House

Thank you On The Fringes Of Sound for reviewing Sailor Winters new album Blue Lines

https://www.onthefringesofsound.com/2024/01/sailor-winters-blue-lines.html?m=1

Following a long hiatus, Georgia-based experimental musician Sailor Winters returns with a new album that is complex and varied throughout its full runtime. The range of moods is quite impressive as each of the thirteen tracks on the album delve into different sonic territory with some being barely perceptible ambient drones that soothe the mind only to shift into fuzzed up noises scapes that grind the senses into an uncomfortable state. Then, seemingly without warning, the listener is taken back into tranquilizing tones. The back and forth dynamic is slightly disorienting but makes for a rather interesting bit of pacing of the course of the full-length listen.

Playing into this dynamic, the opening track, "Deluxe Girl and Her Cloves" is a metallic-percussion tinged ambient track soaking in haunting reverberation that drifts ever so slowly into the distance at the end, only to take us into "Tug Champion." This track is also something of a drone track that tacks on the distortion to a heavy degree, giving us our first taste of the lush noise that peppers the album. Then there are tracks such as "Byron" which gives us deep distorted bass drones that thunder along under industrialized synth tones that saw along in mechanically grated fashion. Shortly after, we get a suspiciously quiet moment with "Doll House," a track that is genuinely soft and subtle, but carries an uneasy air around it. It almost feels as though it is deceiving the listener into a false sense of security and the following track "Jardious" continues this deception with its soft trills and atmospherics. Then Winters hits us with the heavy distortion and doom aesthetics of "Portal of Ran," to bring that unease to fruition.

The entire album is full of these moments - moments of uneasy calm followed by harsh and chaotic scenes. It really is the strong suit of this album, but it is only made possible by the depth of variation in sound design at play. All the trills, ambiances, subtle reverberations, and powered manglings pull together to create an experience that keeps you wondering what is next.
