rhubiqs 'Spectral Passage' [CD]

With Spectral Passage, rhubiqs delivers a deeply immersive concept album that traces a psychological journey from turmoil to clarity. Inspired by artists like Tim Hecker, Fennesz, Sarah Davachi and William Basinski, the record layers guitars, synths, pianos, samples, field recordings, strings and brass into shifting soundscapes that mirror the mind’s passage through anxiety, trauma and renewal.

Opening with dense, disorienting textures (Infinite Dusk, Endless Nights), the album gradually evolves toward light and release. A turning point comes with Alone & Adrift Pt. I and Pt. II, where shadow gives way to brightness and resilience. The closing track, A Final Transmission, offers a gentle resolution, leaving the listener in a place of hard-won peace.

More than a collection of songs, Spectral Passage is an emotional narrative in sound - a transformative listening experience.

All tracks written & produced by Tom Squires
