Exspiravit Luminaria by San Mateo

this just in: San Mateo’s Exspiravit Luminaria … like an ethereal quartet armed with stringed instruments, blending the boundaries between synthesizer music, orchestral soundtracks, and subdued post-rock.

❝ 100% pure high-grade Blade Runner aesthetic: plaintive chords, the sonic sensation of endless twilight, and an exquisite balance of fragile faith with urgent dread. I’m left with an image of some new lifeform crossbreeding Vangelis and Stars of the Lid at the edge of the future’s sprawl. essential music for navigating the 21st century. ❞ — James Reeves, Atlas Minor

+ it’s ‘name your price’ on Bandcamp for the next two weeks
