Ratvader - Kite LP

Discreet Music Verified independent store

→

Mysterious lycanthrope and sound-explorer from Gothenburg, Sweden and surrounding forests - behind the name Ratvader is the composer Oscar Sidoff Rydelius. Discreet Music crossed p aths with Oscar for the first time during 2025, a chance meeting that resulted in the enchanting 14-track album Kite now released on Gustaf Dickssons in-house imprint Frihetens Förlag. Evocative and strangely moving soundtrack-style compositions that at times feels like the medieval bastard child of Penguin Café Orchestra and Condo Pets-era James Ferraro. Uplifting, timeless stuff and very much unlike anything else on the related labels. Pressed in an edition of 200 copies, paste-on artwork, 4-page insert and expertly mastered by Lasse Marhaug.
