Secret Intelligent Light (Limited Edition LP)

A.U.R.A is the solo project of New Zealand born songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Albert Mikołaj. "A.U.R.A is the subtle body that surrounds something, which conceptually is how I feel about my music," Mikołaj explains.

At age 19, Albert took off to Argentina in a quest to delve into his spirituality, and it was there that the foundation of A.U.R.A was formed. Living in Buenos Aires in a communal experiment called El Todo Rojo (also known as The Red Awning) with 9 other artists, musicians and dancers, Mikołaj spent his days writing, making music and playing intimate venues.

Produced by Ben Lemi of Trinity Roots, Secret Intelligent Light draws inspiration from David Lynch's works and philosophy. The album explores themes of ethereal light, primal birth and androgyny, and is, according to Mikołaj, "a humble attempt to mine at the truth." His reflections of love for the works of Nina Simone, Joni Mitchell and Tracey Chapman provide the backbone of emotional depth and vulnerability to a record whose spirit echoes that of Jeff Buckley and Bon Iver.

Pressed on coke bottle clear vinyl and limited to 500 copies.
