Secret Salts

"I missed myself more than I ever missed anyone before.” Secret Salts, the second full-length release on Mansions and Millions from Pictorial Candi (Candelaria Saenz Valiente), is the soundtrack to a languorous exile in your own mind palace, a summer spent wandering the halls of a psychic estate. In one room, you are drenched under synesthetic showers of electrons; over there, ghosts envelop you with caresses. You trace anxiously soothing patterns across the grounds. In every corridor, memory swirls, insistently lapping on the shores of awareness, then fading away from perception. Everything is jelly. The impalpable transmutes into the tragic and back again. At the end of the season, you find the exit, in the only place it ever could have been. You emerge into calm moonlight. And there you are.

All original songs by Candelaria Saenz Valiente aka Pictorial Candi except for Father Sun and Sister Moon, originally "Muru's Chant" by Adam Berry for the film Balto II.
Produced, performed and recorded by Pictorial Candi in Berlin, 2018. Featuring Sarah Addud on bassoon (Star Gel), Sean Nicholas Savage on vocals (Father Sun and Sister Moon) and Tomek Pop on drums (Wrong jacuzzi).
