Amsterdam-based Jorge Velez unveils his new album on Utter titled ‘The Saturn Star’. Inspired by Coil and Carlos Peron, the New Jersey native recorded the score to an imaginary film based on the tale of a 16th Century Alchemist hunted down by The Inquisition in Western Europe. It follows a string of Velez releases over the past few years for labels such as L.I.E.S, Berceuse Heroique, Creme Organization and Rush Hour. ‘The Saturn Star’ is limited to 250 copies and includes the A5 ‘Systema’ booklet illustrated by Velez. Our pick for the premiere is the gritty and ethereal A-side track ‘Labour’.
