Weightless as day slipping into night, Saapato’s newest sonic offering, ‘Seasons Turn Like Pages’, is a collection of fleeting vignettes that feel sunlit, windswept, and rainwashed. The compositions move like a breeze, melodies appear and dissolve like scenery passing by a train window. Nothing lingers too long in one place and that transience makes up the album’s emotional core. Synthesizers dance, spontaneous and sylphic like mirages in the forest at dawn. It’s a celebration and acknowledgement of how time moves; steadily and invisibly with a slipperiness that makes it hard to fully grasp. Underneath that fantastical lightness is a subtle melancholy, watching something beautiful disappear in real time as if the compositions understand their own impermanence. Seasons Turn Like Pages exists in that delicate space between presence and nostalgia, where moments are still unfolding even as they begin to fade. Out now on Aural Canyon.
