Simo Cell will release debut album ‘Cuspide des Sirènes’ on September 14th.
The incoming project will be available digitally, while the future-facing producer is also lining up a physical drop. In a neat twist, the album will be available as alternative 8 bit versions on a limited edition Game Boy video game cartridge.
Out on September 14th, it follows some excellent releases, each epitomising Simo Cell’s grasp of world building, and his ultra-colourful style. Truly imaginative, his debut album is informed by mythology, and a sense of the other-worldly powers music can hold.
Simo Cell comments…
“Have you heard of the legend of ‘Cuspide des Sirènes’? This is not a simple tale, but an incredible tapestry woven over many years and through countless wondrous adventures. I will recount the legend as it was recorded in the ancient scrolls.
The album’s story explores the themes of magic, enchantment, charm, and allure, but also personal fears. The protagonist (me) embarks on a quest to find the hidden lake and confront his own demons, in order to understand and master his own power.
The protagonist is armed with a powerful conch shell. As he embarks on his journey, he will encounter Sirens who will teach him various chants. These melodies hold unique powers and grant the main character the strength to confront and overcome any danger that may arise.”
