Following the release of his debut album in 2022, London-based producer On Man is back with a 12-track remix album, High Crystal. The record features reworks of tracks from his debut LP from artists such as Mogwai, The Bug, Salamanda, Katie Gately, Lotic, Throwing Snow and more.
From Pitchfork favourite Midwestern artist Joe Rainey here working alongside producer Andrew Broder push traditional Native music in provocative new directions while Seoul-based electronic musicians Salamanda babble in atmospheric contours in their musical universe with elements of ambient, classical minimalism, and traditional Japanese sounds.
Scottish post rockers Mogwai also feature as does The Bug, producing a set of reinterpretations that have surprised, humbled and inspired On Man in equal measure.
On Man is an artist with a unique gift for sound design, he’s able to conjure perfect pop songs and then corrode them, revealing the emotional truths underneath. An electronic artist with a human touch, he’s worked in the studio for an array of other artists, as well as delivering huge cinematic soundtrack projects, all while pursuing his own solitary agenda.
Mastered by Matt Colton at Metropolis, London.
