More Info:
Vinyl, Singles Collection & CD of various artists doing songs inspired by the NASA voyager mission including contributions from, Beach House, Spiritualized, Youth Lagoon and Mutual Benefit.
LEFSE records commissions artists to create songs from space recordings made by VOYAGER probes.
‘The Space Project’ features Youth Lagoon, Spiritualized, Beach House, The Antlers, Mutual Benefit, Blues Control and others.
Last Thanksgiving, Matt Halverson, who runs the Portland-based label Lefse Records, was talking with his brother in law, Exogenesis President and Chief Scientist Sean Anklam, who described a trove of recordings the NASA-launched Voyager space probes had made in the outer solar system. Halverson was overtaken by an idea to commission imaginative artists to create songs and soundscapes out of the Voyager recordings. The interest among musicians was overwhelming.
‘The Space Project’ album consists of 14 tracks, seven pairs of songs, each based on a distinct celestial body: the planets Jupiter (Porcelain Raft, The Antlers), Neptune (Spiritualized “Mississippi Space Program”, The Holydrug Couple), Uranus (Youth Lagoon, Blues Control), Saturn (Beach House, Zomes) and Earth (Absolutely Free, Jesu), and the moons Miranda (Mutual Benefit, Anna Meredith) and Io (Benoit & Sergio, Larry Gus).
Limited to 300 copies for the UK and Ireland.
