After success on labels such as Level (Kompakt), Narita, Echocord & Shitkatapult, Sweden’s Anders Ilar releases his newest artist album on US based Yard Rec. These tracks are handpicked and sequenced by Anders & label owner, Yard. Focusing on deeper tracks, drawn together by their mystical nature. Deep introspective cuts such as Arcturus and Heliopause are put back-to-back to dancefloor destroyers such as Cries of the Wilderness. The highlight track, Unconditional Surrender is given the remix treatment by two contemporaries, Fabric & Global Underground star Adam Johnson & Yard contribute beat workouts that are honed to dancefloor perfection. Stories of Old finds Anders Ilar in a deep mood, discovering unturned rocks and ancient melodies that harken back to the halycion days of electronica and techno itself.

Psychedelic Melancholia... Those are the primary words that I choose to describe this new LP by electronic music auteur Anders Ilar.
There are a few welcome elements that remind me of his LP "Ludwijka" and that is a good thing.
The last few years we have seen Anders trying new things with his artistic output. This LP is by no means something old, instead, it is a fresh experimental take on his signature sound. Adam Balest
