The wooded stargate of Western Massachusetts can lay claim to one of modern times’ premiere “deep zones” dispensaries: Secret Places of the Lion. Via their Saturn Fern HQ, they’ve issued three full-lengths plus some scattered private documents. The Lion’s latest continues the project’s legacy of regal arcana: High Gardens.

Mirage synths and oracle organ lockstep with bronze clanking and MIDI percussion across six (plus a digi-only bonus) marbled hall pageants of arch templar simulacrum. Cryptic psychedelia from a mystery school at the threshold of ascendant cyber-Babylon. The Secret is Kept. The Places Unnamed. High Gardens for a Low and Barren Age.
