Cole Pulice has announced the release of their latest album, Land’s End Eternal, which is due out May 9 on Leaving Records. The electroacoustic saxophonist, improviser, and composer furthers their exploration of cosmic beauty via a combination of ambient textures and jazz ambiguity and, for the first time, finds them utilizing electric guitar in their work. A few years ago, a friend asked them to store a Stratocaster during a move, and while in their possession, they began to experiment with it and incorporated it into the syntax of their existing musical dialects.
“I’ve always loved the electric guitar but never owned one,” he explains, “so it quickly became an important part of my daily music routine and explorations, and ultimately a compositional centrepiece for the work on Land’s End Eternal.”
The album’s lead single, “After the Rain”, is an epic collaboration between Pulice and Maria BC, a shimmering voyage across billowing oceanic tides and honey-hued crests. Featuring saxophone, multiple guitars, a brass choir, and Maria BC’s gorgeous voice, the track is a perfect window into the ethereal worlds that Pulice creates, gentle yet determined, persistent but without assumption. You feel the need to submit to its fluid movements, and before long, the only thing that matters is remaining in its embrace.
