Veteran NYC-based Scottish electronic musician Drew McDowall’s latest work, 'Agalma', is his most liturgical and least industrial outing to date, potentially the apex of his recent discography. Named after an ancient Greek word for votive offering, 'Agalma' exudes a devotional aura, blending strings, piano, pipe organ, and choral masses into synthetic, sacred mirages. McDowall’s modular system shapes a haunting, disorienting soundscape, guided by the intersection of “joy, terror, and the elegiac.”

As a career collaborator, Drew McDowall brings together a stellar lineup, including Italian synthesist Caterina Barbieri, American drone organist Kali Malone, and more. Their contributions elevate McDowall's nuanced spaces, creating surreal textures of transcendence. 'Agalma' is an album of immediacy and emotion, capturing celestial laments for times of unrest and suffering, embodying the ineffable in a powerful and sublime way.
