In February, Ukranian composer and sound-designer Oleg Shpudeiko will present Anthem, a new ambient-driven project under the Heinali moniker. The new solo LP follows “a period of recovery from an emotionally dark place…a kind of personal therapy.”

Anthem was produced and recorded in Shpudeiko’s apartment using a range of hardware and computer processing, from Korg and Moog gear to his beloved and homemade SoundHack and AudioMulch software and “old Soviet digital effects, glitchy as hell.” The album is full of ethereal beauty and otherworldly sound design and points to Shpudeiko’s previous soundtrack work in its emotive delivery—Shpudeiko composed the soundtrack to PlayStation’s 2016 videogame Bound.

Injazero Records will release Anthem on 180g vinyl and digital formats on February 10, and in the meantime, you can grab the haunting “Anthracite” via WeTransfer below.
