We live our lives in transition. The constant flux of time, energy and progress. Chris Farstad, a core member of Minneapolis collective Food Pyramid, imparts that experience into his debut solo album, Solar Express. Exploring the tension between new age escapism and kinetic momentum, wielding psychic armor of pure laughter to disarm power and usher in new stories, the results are an album of dynamic exploration manifested as a synthesized fantasy of ambient environments, colliding percussion and time-based electronic composition.
