Anyone who is interested in organic electronic music that will make you feel like you're in the misty Oregon mountains should check out this awesome artist. Emancipator has a few albums out and they seem to be related to the seasons. This album, with its pitter patter, sandy drum machine and twangy string instruments, makes you think of a hot foggy spring the whole way through. His first album, Soon It Will Be Cold Enough, with its echoing drones and resonating serenity gives the feeling of trotting through blowing snow in the forrest. 

If the sounds didn't give away the season, the album artwork surely does. You can see the foliage climbing its way up the cliff face from a dense green pine forrest. The humidity makes its presence known by obscuring the cliff's summit and by creating a thick atmosphere in the distance. A skewed off rule of thirds seems to take place here where horizontal slices are taken for the sky, landscape and then an even thicker fog. Although the title is obscured slightly, emancipator boldly makes his presence known with a Baskerville-like black font on top of thick white fog. 

The limited pallet here does not take from hierarchy here. Although green is our only hue with tones of gray, emancipator's album name is obviously placed and although the scene is a beautifully epic one, it doesn't overpower whats most important here. 

Whatever you do, go pick up an emancipator album if you can. He is one of the few artists i could put out money for and its totally worth it. Also, if ya haven't checked out that Sigur Ros yet, ya better do so haha. peace
