Sailing Ships & Tarot Cards
[ Rattle Records / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 12 May 2017
An acid-soaked moonlit cruise through a landscape of 60s exotica, Delia Derbyshire inspired sci-fi soundscapes, classic Bernard Herrmann, a pinch of John Zorn, and a twist of David Lynch. Welcome to the wonderful world of Melbourne-based composer, Christopher de Groot!
"Sailing Ships and Tarot Cards is an engaging musical road-trip that whisks you through a landscape of changing moods, leaving you breathless and eager to hear it again."
