Themes For Dying Earth

azurewolf This album speaks to me profoundly. Existential angst beneath a warm and positive sound. I love electronic works that still feel very organic, alive, and emotionally connected like this. Beautiful album, musically and lyrically. Favorite track: Lost (w/ Nadia Hulett).

Brad Paserk As beautiful as its cover and true to its name, this album conveys the beauty of impermanence.
“Cherry Blossoms” shows exactly that. With the continuous melody starting and ending just as short as its bloom, we are left with a moment to reflect—wishing it lasted just a little longer. Favorite track: Cherry Blossoms (w/ Dustin Wong).

Frant Dunlané Thank you Jamison. This album is truly an evolution of your sound. It soothes the soul and elicits beauty in indescribable ways.

jabi Unique and blissful. Favorite track: Rising (w/ Sound Of Ceres).

about

Watch a documentary made about the creation of this album here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkCQT8ynL7Y

Teen Daze (Jamison Isaak) is a British-Columbia based artist and producer. He released his fifth LP Themes For Dying Earth on February 10th through his new label, FLORA.

After last year's foray into vibrant indie-pop, Themes finds Teen Daze returning to more ambient, electronic production with new insight: "I learned so much from the experience making Morning World, it would be a step backwards if I didn't apply it." This comes through in songs like "Lost", "Rising" and the first single, "Cycle", which fuse the synthesized sound of early Teen Daze records with the live energy of his more recent works. Themes is also distinct in its collaborative nature. Jamison has worked with other artists in the past, but never to this degree and expanse: "Making the last record alongside other people helped me realize that inviting additional minds to the creative process brings out the best in me."

Conceptually and thematically, this album is one of Jamison's most personal, navigating topics both intimate and broad: "Much of my work is inspired by nature, and it's scary to think that future generations may not have that same relationship. The album starts with Cycle, a song about my personal experience dealing with anxiety and depression, and it slowly zooms out to cover some of the external forces, like climate change, that are affecting those experiences. After touring last fall, I came home so cynical and worn out, I decided take all the nervous energy I had about the world, and filter it through more optimistic, positive sounds."
