The eight sonically and lyrically immersive songs on Alunea have set one more high-water mark for KARDASHEV.

Music has all the time been a common language, however KARDASHEV creates their very own lyrical language, including depth and which means. “I’ve beloved tinkering with languages since I used to be a little bit child,” says Garrett. “I’m not an skilled relating to constructed languages, also known as ‘conlangs,’ however I discover language to be a very fascinating side of humanity.”
“I used to be dabbling within the beginnings of the language of Alunea years earlier than we added it to our file The Almanac,” he continues. “I might sit at my desk at work – a name heart on the time – and make up fascinating grammatical guidelines to cross the time. Certainly one of my favorites was having the size of a vowel add plurality to a phrase. I didn’t create that idea, but it surely was enjoyable to play with. Years later when Nico and our earlier bassist instructed I deliver my curiosity in conlangs to our music, the vowel size idea was what I began with. All of it grew from there.”
The brand new album and band additionally search to forge a worldwide connection, as Mirolla explains, “Alunea to me serves this concept of tradition that we frequently see as ‘us and them’ views; it’s a fictitious language, from a fictitious story someplace within the tremendous future, and I give it the time to listen to it, study it, perceive why it really works the best way it does. I’d simply hope that others take an analogous perspective when listening to actual languages and studying about actual cultures which might be throughout us, and stuffed with depth, historical past, and which means. I hope that folks decelerate and attempt to perceive the depth we’ve put into Alunea after which challenge their expertise into the world round them.”
