Mike Lazarev - Sacred Tonalities (2023)

The Ukraine-born artist Mike Lazarev has released his first album through Past Inside the Present and at least 5th in general recently. Sacred Tonalities is meant to evoke a "meditative state of mind. Like the ocean. Like breathing" and it definitely succeeds.

This mesmerizing album is a wave of sound layers that overlap each other, creating one deep whole that can easily swallow the listener into its abysses. Its soft and calm drones feel as if they could as easily burst into a sonic chaos but they just don't feel like it at the moment. It was created to create a safe space for self-reflecting moments and it sure is this way, I just recognize more grandeur and more overwhelming potential here. It's clearly just like the ocean.
