Elusive is back with Dome of Doom for the release of Horizons, a 12-track album scheduled to drop worldwide later this month.
Horizons follows Elusive’s 2019 albums, Ambient Void on Alpha Pup Records and Bonsai Tree on Dome of Doom.
And it arrives in a similar vein sonically and conceptually, which is to say the Los Angeles producer continues his exploration of experimental electronic music, Los Angeles beat culture, and modern forms of jazz. Features across the record include longtime collaborator Josh Koslow on trumpet, as well as seasoned Los Angeles session artists Ian Roller (saxophone) and Josh Howard (bass).
The album, recorded in April of this year, stems from Elusive’s most prolific stretch of music making since his career started over 20 years ago. After lockdown began, he began spending between six and eight hours a day working on a multitude of music projects. This is the first record out of that batch.
Elusive has been releasing records for over two decades, through several eras of Los Angeles’ music communities. Elusive’s initial releases predate the modern Los Angeles beat scene, self-releasing his first beat tape, The Blackhole Within, in 1997. His first label release, titled Elements Of A Prototype, was released on Mary Joy Recordings in 2000, and he signed to Dome of Doom in 2016 with French Toasted.
Earlier this week, Dome of Doom announced Kenny Segal’s Kenstrumentals Vol. 4: a lot on my plate.
