Formal Process - 'Subconscious Architecture’ Out Now!

PressReleasePVC Blue
Written By Jesse Thamer

Formal Process’s new album 'Subconscious Architecture' is now out through Petite Victory Collective.

Subconscious Architecture contains meditative, dreamy sounds from sessions of uninhibited exploration. Like a wild journey to an unexpectedly scenic temple run by haphazard, drunken priest-wizards welcoming you to seek shelter from oppressive, vengeful authorities.  It's an escape from your typical electronic music fare and a balm for those who need to experience something exciting. Made entirely by a human for humans.

Formal Process crafts on synths & samplers to calm anxieties and induce flow-state.  Inspired by the music of 70s education filmstrips, 80s jingles, video games, prog rock, early techno, they bring their own take on electronic cross-genre melodic sound.

Don’t be a stranger!
