about

The digital release of the first Tarantula Parlour album, this project fully utilizes Sarada's love of creepy vintage horror movie soundtracks and adds a few extra elements of retro sounding 1970's electronic kosmiche and haunting satiesque piano motifs. With a haunted, gothic lo-fi dungeon synth approach, it also incorporates psychedelic elements at times like fuzz guitar, and several tracks include ethereal vocals.

This is a six track EP which clocks in at around 21 minutes of music.

A cardboard boxed limited edition 8cm mini cdr is also available from Sleep FUSE in a limited edition from www.reverbworship.com/sleep-fuse. Physical copies must be ordered through Sleep FUSE at this time.

Tarantula Parlour is:
Sarada - synths, piano/organ, guitar, vocals, field recordings

Recorded in Houston in 2020.

Artwork by Sarada.
