Integrals
Integrals is the first album by The Laconic, released in the spring of 2022. Songs were written and recorded from July 2021 to January 2022, and roughly correspond to different months of the year.
The aim of ‘Integrals’ was to revive a half-dead genre that is songs without words. Prior examples could be found within tracks like Genesis' ‘Second Home by the Sea’, ‘Duke's Travels/Duke's End’ and ‘Los Endos’, the Flower Kings' ‘Flora Majora’, ‘Don of the Universe’, and ‘Babylon’, and the work of Mike Oldfield.
Integrals was mixed by Markus Reuter and mastered by Erik Emil Eskildsen. All instruments were performed or sequenced by Marc Pelath, except for the touch guitar solo on "Sietch", which was contributed by Markus Reuter.
