Gastón Arévalo – Terrain

To put it simply; a stunning release in every sense of the word. Beautiful, emotive and encapsulating, this is one I never tire of listening to and provides a deep and moving experience every time. A joy to behold, thank you so much for this Gaston & ASIP. This record is phenomenal, inside & out, from the first to last moment.

Completely transforming. Makes me feel peaceful in a busy world. Sublime record.

Gastón Arévalo debuts on A Strangely Isolated Place with an exploratory themed album told through the lens of an expedition diary - a rich soundtrack set amongst nature.

Gastón aimed to depict an adventurous journey, where each track captured a specific moment over an imaginary, daring ascent. An intimate meeting with nature, the album rises from the ground to our highest peaks - with the two extremes captured in the album’s artwork.

Field recordings from Patagonia enhance the feeling of freedom, one can only find from the great outdoors. Adorned with drifting harmonies; shimmering guitars; dense pads of cloud; gentle rising mists; the sound of shallow rivers and morning bird-calls, it all comes together to create a vivid and intrepid scene told across a variety of full-length tracks and short interludes, acting as breathers and moments to reflect amongst mother-natures finest grandeur.

Terrain marks Gastón’s second full-length album following his debut album ‘Rollin Ballads’, released on Marsen Jules’ Oktaf label, in 2013.
