Norwegian producer Biosphere has a new album on the way via Smalltown Supersound.

Departed Glories will be ambient specialist Geir Jenssen’s 12th studio full-length, and his first in almost five years. It follows on from a number of recent reissues of his earlier works, including Patashnik and Microgravity.

According to Smalltown Supersound, the upcoming LP was “constructed from hundreds of snippets of Eastern European And Russian folk music recordings, melted together to transform them into 17 unsettling and occasionally blindingly radiant beatless tracks.” Jenssen began to compose the album whilst he was living in Poland, inspired by the tales of Polish medieval queen Bronislawa, who had hidden among the trees in the local area during the 13th century, in order to escape the invading Tartar hordes.

Departed Glories will hit stores on September 23. Pre-order it at the Smalltown Supersound store. One of its cuts, “Sweet Dreams Form A Shade,” can be streamed in full below.
