Pando looking for a label to release "Hiraeth"
Having recently released "Hiraeth", an album that contains various field recordings, experiments, samples and sound manipulations, Pando are looking for a record label to release this artistic work in physical format or to work with the band in a future release.
"Hiraeth" also includes a collection of photography, conversations, and artwork gathered by the band throughout the years and digitally rendered into raw audio data in the form of noise. Voicemails and audio recordings of memories and experiences were obtained from friends and family through the use of social media and phone call.
The band comments:
"We are from western Massachusetts with backgrounds in the art world. While we do have a few pictures with our backs turned, We don’t necessarily agree with this concept of “band image” in the music world since it is supposed to be about the music, not what a musician looks like. We aren’t opposed to doing the whole band photo thing, but just don’t really identify with it. We don’t put a lot of information about ourselves out there other than the little bit that comes through in our interviews because we think it’s important that people take what they can from the music rather than forcing our views into what the tracks mean to us, but we try our best to accurately portray what we feel in our music and provide, what we feel, is enough information in the songs themselves and the artwork we create to accompany the albums. The art is equally, if not moreso, important to us than the music."
"As for this particular album, we released a handsome amount of linear notes for this album because this one actually was personal for us and we thought a list of studies we were reading at the time of creating the album was important to include since the album is about experiences and movement of life. it is loosely about taking the negativity that life gives you and trying your best to turn it into a positive. it’s a bit therapeutic."
