Dragazis expands his signature cinematic sounds, placing a six-piece choir at the heart of the record. Continuing with the motif of big, atmospheric, widescreen production, but this time built around a small choir singing lead vocals in unison, the album transforms intimate songwriting into something communal and immersive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe album marks another step in the evolution of Blue States, which has morphed over the years from a one-man project, to a live band, and now back to a studio-based solo project. Most of the album was recorded in Dragazis' London based studio, with the choir and strings tracked separately. \"Recording an album with a choir and a string quartet felt like a way of pushing myself both musically and technically - taking me out of my comfort zone\" says Dragazis. The choir came together after Dragazis reconnected with Tahita Bulmer (New Young Pony Club) who had collaborated with him on second Blue States album Man Mountain. Bulmer introduced him to vocalist Stacey Dowdeswell. Dowdeswell helped assemble the six-piece vocal ensemble for the sessions, whose performances were largely recorded live in one take, capturing a raw, unpolished immediacy which adds to the human fragility and sense of presence at the core of the album. Bulmer herself joined the choir, marking a full-circle return to their earlier collaboration more than twenty years ago. Also featured throughout the album is the acclaimed string quartet The Elysian Quartet. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhere The Fades Meet stands out as one of Blue States' most expansive and immersive works to date, balancing intricate orchestration with emotional intimacy and blurring the boundary between the personal and the universal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 1.5em;\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eTRACKS:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e Quiet Refrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e Waves of Pines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e3\u003c\/span\u003e Totality of the Apex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e4\u003c\/span\u003e White Sands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e5\u003c\/span\u003e Restoral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e6\u003c\/span\u003e Where the Fades Meet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e7\u003c\/span\u003e Cold Control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e8\u003c\/span\u003e Beneath the Intrigue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e9\u003c\/span\u003e The Fine Line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e10\u003c\/span\u003e Idle Hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long will shipping take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem is In Stock\/Inbound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem is on Pre-Order\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem is on Backorder\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrders will ship within 1 day of being available\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrders will ship near or on release date, as they are checked in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrders will ship as they become available, and may take 2-12 weeks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Blue States","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47964577988766,"sku":"5056340108819","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0560\/8321\/8590\/files\/image_aa7634f6-78c3-4e68-bc13-33a34c0a920c.jpg?v=1783810098","url":"https:\/\/soundslikevinyl.com\/products\/cadaver-eyes-road-extends-vinyl-lp-copy","provider":"SoundsLikeVinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
