BIPOLAR EXPLORER Memories of the Sky "Brilliant. Deep and dark and one of the best albums of the year. As soon as it finished playing, I wanted to play all of it again. A fantastic album." -black_ops (UK) "Another precious piece of this infinite picture that tells of a love that is forever alive and present. The enchantment of enveloping sounds, of atmospheres that warm the heart, of a deep nostalgia that leads to greater sensitivity is renewed.

two album covers montage. On the left: Bipolar Explorer’s In The Hours Left Until Dawn. Cover is a painting by late American painter Mary Lizzie Macomber. Two women, Night watching over her daughter Sleep. Night is holding a little ball of glowing light with a star inside. Background is a shade of black, with little faint drops of light, like far away stars. On the right: Tremosphere’s Becoming Creatures album cover. It’s a black and white selfie of Sylvia, a white cis woman, her hair is long, straight and her right arm is up, showing her hairy armpit. She’s defying you with her stare. She’s sitting by an old fireplace, and wearing a black strapless tight top. Picture is framed between two baby blue thick lines.
