Originally released in 2017 in a limited, cassette-only run, Midnight Colours is a musical replica of the doomsday clock constructed by prolific New York producer Rafael Anton Irisarri. At the time of recording, we were two-and-a-half minutes from midnight; given how we’ve frittered away another minute in the seven years since it’s only fair that Irisarri would revisit and refurbish this out-of-print one-off to attract a wider audience. To that end, the remastered Midnight Colours expands the original’s sonics to transcend the technical limits inherent to the cassette-only format, reinforcing the existential dread lurking within each stunning, impeccably textured soundscape. The closer’s drone-heavy spacetime collapse aside, the path to oblivion doesn’t sound as imposing as the concept would suggest; “Two and a Half Minutes†and “Circuits,†with their fragmented, wind chime-esque synth loops and new age flourishes, render apocalypse almost soothing. Don’t mistake Irisarri’s graceful ambient as an invitation for escapism, though: this is a wake-up call first, meditation second. Oppenheimer would approve.
