Guided by a hypnotic guitar arpeggio, “Circalunar” is a delicate echo of long nights spent in the Academy studios – nights in which, as Malard puts it, “the moon became the main character.” The Barcelona-residing ambient Padawan found a kindred spirit in Argentinian dream pop songstress Sobrenadar, whose reverb-drenched lullabies round off the track’s magical invocation.
Modeselektor’s Gernot Bronsert, who was part of the studio team in Paris, makes an unlikely contribution here, straying far from his usual techno stomping grounds and lacing drum patterns coated in wool. Add in some Juno-106 pads and a bit of Korg MS-20 oddity and you’ve got a match made in dream pop heaven. As Malard puts it, “it’s so much easier to make a song with someone when you find so much in common.”
