Fortune Teller

Turn the card and follow your destiny into a dreamscape of vintage magic. Fortune Teller is a deck stacked with analogue glamour and midnight omens where fuzz and mysticism collide. But who is the mysterious Empress? Some say she’s a soothsayer of sound whose grooves are eternal. Others say she’s a front for instrumental masterminds Paul Osborne of Project Gemini and Paul Elliott of Pleasurewood, paying homage to library labels like Sonoton, MP 2000 and CAM. No matter the truth, this is an album that foretells what’s yet to come via electronic sorcery, acid invocations, and some hot hot synths. – Thomas Patterson
