The sounds of AL-90 come from far away. More specifically, they originate in the Russian port of Murmansk on the edge of the Arctic Circle. Amid arctic snowstorms, far across the Barents Sea, lives AL-90––a musician who cultivates a related air of distance and anonymity. This is the lo-fi chic of some growing absence––the naïve, yet resolute dance music of a prior decade. Barely audible, yet somehow enduring.
