CNJR – I Can See the Church Burning Through the Binoculars
FAR084
Release date: October 09 2020
Experimental music producer CNJR returns with a new full-length release. ‘I Can See the Church Burning Through the Binoculars’ sees CNJR depart from a deeper synth-driven electronic feel to embrace an indie aesthetic throughout the album. A stronger presence of guitars, acoustic drums, and vocals can be heard interwoven with retro synthesizers and electronic elements recognized from prior releases. A starkly dark album, ‘I Can See the Church Burning Through the Binoculars’ explores themes of repression, emotional turmoil, and identity.
“This album came together during a time in my life when I was processing internally about my childhood, the relationships in my life, my experience as a queer person, gender fluid person, and really being honest about the dynamics present around me. A lot of fear, pain, repression, alienation, and self-censoring came up for me, and you can hear it in the music. The result is a pretty dark exploration, I hope it can feel cathartic for listeners in a similar way it was for me to work on the compositions.” – CNJR
