Love Streams (Double LP)

Love Streams takes as its cue from the avant-classical orchestration and extreme electronic processing of 2013's Virgins album, but is shaped into more melancholic, ultraviolet hues.

Inspired by notions of 15th century choral scores transposed to an artificial intelligence-era language of digital resonance and bright synths, the album was assembled gradually, with layers of studio-tracked keyboards, choir and woodwinds being woven into the mix, but then moulded and disfigured through complex programming.

The effect is similar to hearing some ancient strain of sacred music corrupted by encryption. Hecker admits to thinking about ideas like "liturgical aesthetics after Yeezus" and the"transcendental voice in the age of auto-tune" during its creation.
