‘Litchfield’ is an immersive album shaped by the lush, expansive wilderness of Australia’s Northern Territory. Inspired by time spent walking, swimming, and listening within Litchfield National Park and its surrounds, Spectrical weaves field recordings of birds, insects, bats, flowing water, and trees in the wind into slowly unfolding compositions. These environmental fragments were first transferred to cassette tape, becoming the textural foundation of the record. Recorded with analogue synthesizer, electric guitar, kalimba, glockenspiel, modular electronics, and tape-based processes, Litchfield drifts between documentation and abstraction; suspended between field and studio, where environment and composition converge. Out now on Perceptual Tapes.
