'an imaginary country' is the stunning second release on kranky for tim hecker and his seventh album in total. previous releases were on alien8, mille plateaux, en/of, fat cat records. follows a collaboration with aidan baker (nadja) for the alien8 label and a track on kompakt's much praised 'pop ambient 2009' compilation. 'an imaginary country' continues from the trajectory of tim hecker's last album, the critically acclaimed 'harmony in ultraviolet', while also showing a few new tricks. tim has incorporated more pulses into this work and also works with a sound pallete including overdriven mellotron strings and synthesizer. at times this album is less overtly aggressive than previous works, but the notion that this is pastoral work would be dead wrong as there are plenty of the agitated crescendos for which hecker is known. this music backs off from the void of immensity in favor of a terrain of lushness and warmth. with this album tim hecker expands his palette as well as his range, further cementing his reputation as a singular and significant entity in the world of contemporary music.
