Secret Passage, the second solo album of LCD Soundsystem’s Gavilán Rayna Russom is set to be released on March 26. The artist announced that this will be the first album to be released under her new label, Voluminous Arts. She also released a new track from the album, “Shotgun Hits with Boys Who Drum on Metal (for Cheyney).”
In her press release, the musician said that the album is an homage to the East Side Rail Tunnel in Providence, Rhode Island, where she met many of her friends and collaborators, transforming the tunnel into “spaces of creative community building.” Each track on Secret Passage is dedicated to the friendships she forged there. “Shotgun Hits with Boys Who Drum on Metal,” for example, is dedicated to visual artist Cheyney Thompson.
Russom first solo album The Envoy came out last year. No additional releases on the label are yet to be listed. According to a press release, the label will focus on “electronic and experimental artists whose work challenges fixed categories of genre and categorization.”
