Halogen by Olson

LOFS005

Arriving on LOFS with an entrancing and tranquil 5 track ambient EP ‘Halogen’. Olson serenades the internal monologue with a mystical soundscape inducing the passenger into an unforgettable hallucination.

On Eternity's motorway, Olson peers out of the window from the backseat of an old Vectra and sees for the very first time that he is dreaming. Sodium orange street lights gently strobe as the car drives past endless empty supermarket car parks and lonely industrial estates. High above, the towering interchange intertwines and intersects with unimaginable complexity, each road leading to ambiguous and ill defined destinations of little importance.

It has never occured to Olson to ask where these roads might lead. Looking carefully along the spaghettied mass of highway, Olson can make out other cars with small eyes peering out of back windows into the infinite halogen ocean. He wonders if they also know this motorway to be a dream and waves at them across the central reservation. Though slightly obscured behind tinted glass, he sees their small hands waving back in friendly recognition. Up ahead, the Vectra turns off at the service station and stops to refuel. The planets have aligned over the BP garage and Olson vows never to wake up.
