Brooklyn based cellist and composer Issei Herr has announced details of her debut album, Distant Intervals, scheduled for release on April 7th through NNA Tapes. A powerful and enthralling display of Issei’s mastery of her instrument, the self-recorded Distant Intervals is made up of layers of overdubbed cello and processed samples. Addressing themes of becoming and transformation, the forthcoming record is described as “an exploration of memory, dreams, and the infinite possibilities within imagined worlds”.

To mark the album announcement, Issei has shared a stunning and poignant double single, ‘Aubade (The Farewell Is a Beginning)’ b/w ‘Prelude (An Eternity of Light)’, accompanied by a video directed by Dazhi Huang. Watch it now.
