Spectral Acoustic utilizes a variety of instruments and sound sources to create evocative and atmospheric tracks ranging from the dazzling and euphoric to the dark and mysterious. Though heavy on experimental, layered guitar textures and processed synths, this Pacific-Northwest music is frequently melodic and accessible, calling to mind the ambient work of Brian Eno, the scores of David Lynch collaborator Angelo Badalamenti, and the avant-garde spirit of early Warp Records artists such as Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada.
Spectral Acoustic (aka Parker Hill) has been composing music in his ever-evolving, yet modest home studio for the last two decades. He has played guitar, electric piano, and synthesizer in a number of bands, including Sun Vow, who worked with Steve Fisk on their debut album in the mid-2000s. He has self-released a number of records under different names, including The Felt City (2007) as Prkr, which received airplay on Seattle's KEXP radio station. A self-taught musician and producer, Hill continues to obsessively refine and develop his sound.
Warm synths glide over a mid-tempo punchy disco beat, all of it bathed in a nocturnal 1980s glow. Driving, hopeful, fun, nostalgic, and even a bit euphoric. Instrumental, Pop, Synthpop
