Aninstar embodies a quest for rebirth via transitory states.Taking root during a four-month stint in Llandudno, it tells tales of a stray dog as it journeys through an underworld, conjures viking funeral sea-scapes from shoreline voice notes and liminal crossroads punctuated by whispered meditations.Forming sonic allegories for the stories in Dylan’s surroundings, its six tracks emanate from coastal field recordings, pneumatic drill foley, chopped and screwed vocal takes and gnarled string instruments – landing somewhere between industrial shoegaze, sound collage and new age folklore.
