about

"Underneath The Antarctic Sun" is the fourth full length album by Elijah Knutsen released under his Memory Color label.

The release re-introduces the Post-Rock genre to Elijah's catalog; having started producing instrumental tracks under his "Blårød" alias before moving mainly to ambient works under his own name.

The album is a crushing mix of ambient shoegaze, post-rock, experimental ambient, shibuya-kei, and noise.

Inspired by the heavy winds that relentlessly scream through the lonesome research stations in Antarctica.

Sensitive tracks such as Flower Vending Machines & 1.2 Million Clouds are starkly contrasted by eerie, eclectic noisescapes; Your Golden Voice No Longer Fills the Air. Old love songs are sampled and distorted, guitars are smashed against the pavement.. The album is a somber collection of recent events & feelings that have troubled and overwhelmed the artist.

The album is mixed/mastered/arranged to give the impression of an old, worn down cassette tape, or perhaps something heard while scanning through radio waves, alone in the distant wastes of Antarctica.

Every Three Minutes
by Sevaskar

supported by 10 fans who also own “Underneath The Antarctic Sun”

This album’s opener is honestly one of the best pieces I’ve heard from Sevaskar. I really like the use of the hand-percussion elements along with the synthetic kit. The fusion of genres such as dubstep, hip-hop, and EDM, to name a few, make for a great record. Solid 10/10. wilburbullara
