It’s no secret that we at unclassed media, have an ear for the more spiritual feelings and moods provoked by electronic music, which is why we were proud to be approached by ponytea to release this album.

‘LA SANGRE DEL MÁRTIR, PURIFICA POR SIMPLE CONTACTO’ literally translates to ‘The blood of the martyr purifies by simple contact.’
And relates to the assertion by some that if you touch a martyr’s blood you will be as pure as god. This tradition, (which continues to this day in the form of pilgrimage) refers to the assertion that gods love, or in any sense purity of spirit, can be transferable by no more than touch.

The music centres around many of the traditions of music across the range of spiritual practice, tropes such as reverb, echo and high frequencies combine across the album to place you firmly in a setting of ritual and worship. But it is perhaps more the deep yearning within this piece that really captures the Christian traditions of the fall and original sin. This melancholy spirit builds throughout the work and lies unresolved at the end, as something of an open question to the listener, about what it is within themselves which is unaddressed.
