“Landes,” the lead single from the recently released album Anunis (Injazero Records) by Pétra, a duo comprised of Anenon (Friends of Friends) and Chantal Chadwick is described by the artists as an “aquatic, immersive track.” And in fact the level of tonal and textural detail presented feels like you’re suspended in fluid and drifting toward a luminous destination, air bubbles floating past you, tangible in a way you take for granted when you’re not deep in the water. A phasing bell tone keeps the time, ethereal female vocals and a flowing low end give form to the currents of water that push you along to what sounds like an airlock admitting you to an improbably city street. The effect is not unlike the end of “Welcome to the Machine” by Pink Floyd and similarly, unexpectedly refreshing but after a period of soothing vibes and not the slow, melancholic catharsis of the Floyd song. Engulfing without being claustrophobic the song and its engrossing moods leaves you wanting to explore the album further.
