Lilac Chaser

by Nym

supported by

Angela Kitzmiller Holy shit. This is such an astounding piece of art. One of those lifetime soundtracks. Favorite track: Eyeshine.

Ethan Liu Ethereal vibes of sountrack, chilling. The essence of the tracks is consistent, yet the variation and abundance are some sort of monotone like. Favorite track: Why You.

Arnaud OURRIERE Comme d'habitude un super album, en écoute au casque en se balladant c'est tout simplement génial. Thanks Nym !!!!

Lilac Chaser and Convex on CD in Digipak cases, packaged and shipped together.

NOTE: Convex digipacks does not come in plastic wrap. The manufacturer had this as an option and I took it so there would be a little less plastic in the world. These are shipped NEW, but are NOT plastic wrapped. Lilac Chaser's manufacturer did not have this option, and as such, is plastic wrapped.

about

Lilac Chaser is an instrumental downtempo soundtrack to human sensory perception, and our attempts to map what is real. At times playful and sly, nostalgic and dangerous, Lilac Chaser blurs the line between between our senses and our surroundings -- our struggle to make sense of a vivid and complex material reality.

This album is for those who have followed the imagined cinematic journey that began in the dusty hills with “Warm Blooded Lizard” and contorted through the lens with “Convex.” Several of the songs revisit characters and places explored in songs like “Lesser Known Good,” “Come Back,” “Tall Talk,” and “Shortlife.”

about

Nym Durham, North Carolina

These are melodic, beat-driven instrumental songs written by a gardener. They are wordless stories about struggling against misinformation, about rejecting moral panics, and about abandoning anthropocentrism.
