The music of Brendon Anderegg is a hall of mirrors, multilayered and self-obscuring. Largely filtered through Mountains, his pioneering electronic project with Koen Holtkamp, Anderegg emerged as a solo artist in the late ‘90s. He returns now with June, a vinyl-exclusive release on Thrill Jockey. The Music on June is a complex network of layers, paradoxically a calm and soothing listen. Collapsing history into its own contemporary sonic movements, Andregg’s methodically created work falls in the lineage of electronic pioneers like Bernard Parmegiani, early ambient projects like Tangerine Dream, Popul Vuh, and Cluster, and puts his solo work in the realm of New Age figures like Michael Stearns and JD Emmanuel. June is a singularly beautiful and challenging work that marks the long overdue reemergence of Brendon Anderegg as a solo voice.
