Amor Astral 7" Vinyl

 

This 7" single will include an unreleased B-Side instrumental titled "Niemeyer", named after the famous Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer and his futuristic creations. This B-Side will only be available via the 7" and will not currently be released digitally.

From downtempo electronic music Godfather Eric Hilton and his longtime Thievery Corporation vocal collaborator Natalia Clavier comes “Corazon Kintsugi”, a sublime new studio album that explores the flaws and resilience of the human heart. "Kintsugi, the art of repairing broken pottery with gold, which makes the imperfections more visible, celebrating them, is beautiful,” say Clavier. "And of course, Corazón means “the heart” in Spanish. I thought that Corazon Kintsugi would be a beautiful metaphor for how we heal our hearts, grow and move forward in life.”

 

Hilton produced, arranged and played the majority of the instruments on "Corazón Kintsugi”. The 9-track album delivers a musical concoction that Hilton has uniquely mastered - ingredients of dub, trip-hop, Bossa nova, vintage continental European film music, and sparkling electronica, blended with sophistication and ease. Natalia Clavier’s presence heightens the listening pleasure, taking center stage with her urgent vocal performance on the funky “Nene”, the Venus-on-a-seashell whisperings of “Luna”, or a celestial testimony to karmic love on “Amor Astral”. "This is a fun, groovy record,” says Hilton. “It visits some styles I don’t really do with Thievery or my solo work, mainly late 70’s/80’s disco funk. Despite the “concept”, this is not a very self-conscious record, it has an openness to it, and I think that’s going to resonate with anyone who hears the music.”

 

 

“Amor Astral” 7” Vinyl by Eric Hilton with Natalia Clavier will be released by Montserrat House on October 31st  2023

 

AMOR ASTRAL (ENG) (Astral Love)

 Four days walking

A thousand paths to walk

Before getting to the house

Where good love sleeps

 

Four nights dreaming

That I wake up in my own place

A little baby blue colored house

With window views of the sea

 

A magical tale

That of us two

Karmic destiny

This astral love story

Astral

Astral

 

Four lives waiting

That we may meet again

Singing to the moon

Giving offerings to my altar

 

A magical tale

That of us two

AMOR ASTRAL (SP) 

Cuatro días caminando

Mil senderos por andar

Hasta llegar a la casa

Donde duerme el bien amar

Cuatro noches yo soñando

Que despierto en mi lugar

Una casita celeste 

Con ventanales al mar

 

Un cuento mágico

El de nosotros dos

Destino karmico

Cuatro vidas esperando 

El volvernos a encontrar 

Cantandole a la luna

Dando ofrendas a mi altar
