A longtime favourite of ours here at CTD, Anenon, the moniker of Los Angeles-based saxophonist, producer and composer Brian Allen Simon, has announced details of a new album. Entitled Dream Temperature, the record is set to arrive on April 24th through Tonal Union. Written and recorded over the past year in his home studio, it sees Anenon moving back towards a more electronic-leaning sound, this time built around a wind synthesiser, alongside piano and tenor sax, with breath and body at the centre of the process. As the press release describes, “the entirety of the album’s electronics are triggered by Brian’s lungs, generating otherworldly synths modulated by expressive breath control”. As with previous efforts, he continues to blur the lines between jazz, ambient and electronic forms, here with a slightly heavier and more textured feel that still retains a sense of intimacy.

The ethereal and moving ‘When The Light Appears, Boy’ is the latest track to be lifted from the album and you can stream it below.
