If your first encounter with the talented artist known as Alcendor was the magnificent EP The Beauty Of Summer, get ready for a huge surprise. While the aforementioned release was a huge crowd pleaser and contained six tunes aimed towards the widest of audiences, Alcendor's brand new album is a significantly more intimate beast. The Long Strange Departures (or The LSD Project as this album is known in the Filter office) is perfect for listening sessions in small groups or alone, because it is always best to deal with such sensitive material surrounded only with the people you trust the most. Or perhaps with the ones you love. Or with your other selves. On his new album, Alcendor digs deep. Deep through sounds, beats, thoughts, feelings and states of consciousness. The album packs a whole of 25 songs, each telling a different story, aesthetically, sonically and visually. Yes, there are visuals on the album, too. What kind of an LSD project would it be if there were no visuals included? Extremely introspective in its nature, The Long Strange Departures will take you on a weird trip in order to learn new things and experience feelings you thought didn't exist. And who knows, maybe you will meet yourself in the process! So lock your door, turn the lights off, press play on your music device of choice and close your eyes. Alcendor will do the rest.
