STAR'S END Update 09.21.25

[Star'sEndRadio]

On THE ABSENCE OF BEING (52:22) Chloe Harris reveals herself in a matter of just a few notes. Realizing work under the name Raica she expresses an electronic inheritance as fluent in the cosmic register as it is in the cerebral realm. Across seven dreamy, beamy tracks drowsing synthesizers extend surprising moments of self-reflection beneath a pervading sense of warmth. Discrete themes emerge, then break down into flickering episodes veering from floating fantasies to pure sonic invention. Perhaps not quite of this world low shuddering chords audibly darken, as pulsing patterns gently uncoil in the listening space. In these emotional shifts we experience a portion of life unfolding in music. With no shortage of personal moments this release is agile and approachable from every perspective. Not an ending statement, THE ABSENCE OF BEING should be thought of as more a condition without end. Many albums of Electronic Music challenge you to listen. It is quite rare for one to ask you to feel.
