| | Description: | Palace Of A Thousand Sounds by Whatitdo Archive Group, released 5 May 2023.
This version of Palace Of A Thousand Sounds comes as a 1xLP.
The vinyl is pressed as a opaque disc. - .. SOUNDSUS cinematic outfit Whatitdo Archive Group return with 'Palace Of A Thousand Sounds', the band's sophomore album exploring the worlds of Mid-Century exotica and library music, out on May 5th. From the instrumental cinematic-soul outfit behind 2021's critically acclaimed The Black Stone Affair comes Whatitdo Archive Group's most recent foray into the realms of the esoteric and arcane, and their most adventurous album to date: Palace Of A Thousand Sounds, available May 5th, 2023 on Record Kicks on limited edition LP, CD and digital platforms. After The Black Stone Affair enthralled record collectors by traversing the cinematic landscape of an imagined 1970s Spaghetti Western, Palace Of A Thousand Sounds finds Whatitdo Archive Group entrenched deeper in the worlds of mid-century exotica and library music-from the Tropicalia-steeped Amazon to the minor key tonalities of the far-out Near East. When the dust finally settled from their debut album, composer and tireless sound scientist Alexander Korostinsky set out to discover the band's new direction, with the ultimate goal to breathe new life into the mid-century era sound with the compass of modernity as his guide. From it's conception in 2021, Palace has sought to carry on a legacy set in motion by the likes of Martin Denny, Les Baxter and Juan García Esquivel. Korostinsky, guitarist Mark Sexton, and drummer Aaron Chiazza recorded the album in marathon sessions from Korostinsky's Studio "A," in Reno, Nevada-a mysterious sonic laboratory where the year 1970 has yet to happen, and vintage analog equipment interfaces with modern musical perspectives and experimental recording techniques to produce era-defining sounds. Not content to appeal to the sensibilities of armchair anthropologists, Palace Of A Thousand Sounds finds the band interrogating the genre itself while making studious tributes to the real places and times it draws from. It's in this tension between here and there, fantasy and reality, that Whatitdo Archive Group find their groove."Palace Of A Thousand Sounds" is a full-length LP by Whatitdo Archive Group released on the boutique label Record Kicks, presenting a meticulously crafted journey through vintage-tinged cinematic soul, exotica and psychedelic library grooves. Drawing from 1960s and 70s soundtrack aesthetics, the album feels like the rediscovered score to an imaginary cult film: lush arrangements, hypnotic rhythms, spacious percussion and evocative melodies create a dense, atmospheric sound world that rewards both close listening on headphones and relaxed spins in the living room. Each track is carefully layered, with a strong sense of narrative flow from side A to side B, making the LP format the ideal vessel for its immersive, story-like character.
Whatitdo Archive Group are known for their deep love of analog sound and their ability to channel classic influences into something fresh and contemporary. Their approach blends cinematic soul, funk, and library music into detailed, almost visual compositions that feel both nostalgic and modern. With "Palace Of A Thousand Sounds", the band further refines this signature style, delivering an album that will appeal to collectors of rare groove, soundtrack aficionados and fans of modern instrumental soul. Their growing reputation in the underground scene is built on high-quality studio craftsmanship and a consistent, unified aesthetic that sets them apart from many retro-inspired projects.
The LP edition emphasizes the group's attention to detail: from sequencing that takes advantage of the two-sided nature of vinyl, to an overall sound that favors warm, dynamic mastering suited for analog playback. This release is ideal for listeners who enjoy putting on a record and being transported into a fully realized sonic universe, where each piece feels like a scene in a larger, unseen film.
