The Composition of Air

Country: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Year: 2023 Duration: 6 mins.

Sinopsys: Siamese Twins Records presents Temple Rat, known offstage as Mei Yuxin, and her highly anticipated debut EP, “The Composition of Air.” This album signifies her first solo release with Siamese Twins, following her contribution to the Kätha V.A. (ST-oo), which Higher Intelligence Agency later reworked on ST-ood. Each track gracefully transitions, creating a harmonious blend of ethereal haze yet grounded echogenic brushstrokes. Despite the otherworldly ambiance, the EP remains deeply rooted in an ancient mystique, which Mei has skillfully crafted. The true story unfolds in the title track, “The Composition of Air,” as Mei expertly employs organic synths to create absorbing arpeggios and sequences.
