Oliver Coates announces new album, Throb, Shiver, Arrow of Time
British composer-producer Oliver Coates has announced the forthcoming album, and first in four years, Throb, Shiver, Arrow of Time.
“The cello is a kind of melancholic instrument with a light ethereal spirit. When the sound is flattened into digital processes, with shifted frequencies and time stretching I’m trying to give it even more of those qualities. Sometimes I’m distancing myself from it, so it becomes a piece of discarded debris that has soul in it, a down-sampling. Or other times, it’s trying to maximize the present tense in the act of playing, and collapse that vivid color into a burnished, photocopied kind of sound," Coates says of the forthcoming release, which is “all about inaccurate transmissions from our memories, overlaid with emotions from other sources".
Accompanying the album's announcement is the Hannah Perry–directed video for new song “Ultra Valid”. Throb, Shiver, Arrow of Time serves as the follow-up to 2020’s Skins n Slime and soundtrack work including Aftersun and The Stranger.
Throb, Shiver, Arrow of Time is set for release on 18 October via Rvng Intl.
