"Behind the Mountain" from Martial Canterel's album, 'Lost At Sea' https://www.daisrecords.com/collections/martial-canterel/products/martial-canterel-lost-at-sea

The past few years have found Sean McBride, the artist behind Martial Canterel, in a state of flux...ebbing back and forth between material displacement and musical aestheticism. His expert pedigree in electronic sound and arrangement bridges the gap created by an undecidability between life at home and abroad His new album, Lost At Sea, is an attempt for the artist to locate this elusive common ground.

The album's introductory track, Giving Up, has all of the hallmarks that Martial Canterel has utilized in the past…melodic chorus, upbeat rhythm and classic sequential dynamism. Where the song diverges is in its core theme of nature: nature’s return to a period of restoration after the failures and recklessness of humankind.

The slower pace of songs like Scampia and Puszta yearn for McBride’s complex love affair with far flung destinations. Re-evaluating the political strife and social unrest in these historical locations, McBride delves deeper into political and geological reference points creating symbolic representations using mechanised percussion, white noise and various sine waves.

The conceptual nature of Lost at Sea reaches even deeper depths within the waveforms of Astralize, a track based upon academic Donna Haraway’s pre-civilized theories of human neglect after the azstralization.

Lyrics:
I really want to see you
concealed behind the mountain
as my port is bashed by waves
you enjoy the fountains

I really want to hold you
remote in your castle
as my ship has sailed away
I freeze in northern passage

a frozen waterway
keeps me gone for days
a wind broken stream
behind the mountain

I really want to touch you
concealed behind the trees
as the shore is bashed by thunder
you enjoy the small town

I really want to hold you
remote in your castle
as my ship it fades away
I die in northern passage

a frozen waterway
keeps me gone for days
a windy broken stream
behind the mountain
