Artoffact Records:

Cinematic post-metal that evokes feelings of languor and nostalgia, drawing upon viola, choirs, slow and melancholic piano melodies, ambient vibes and a neoclassical approach.

»Wayhome« is Kauan’s most ambitious production to date. It is essentially one 50-minute song divided into eight tracks for the modern listener’s convenience. The album is dedicated to journeys in both literal and mental senses. Both “way” and “home” can be interpreted differently, as one can return home after a long absence or just try to solve an inner problem, overcome an obstacle, be reborn, or even die.

»Wayhome«’s visual concept themed around the journey told through fabric and cloth. It begins with pure, untouched white. As the album unfolds, the fabric begins to wear: stained, burned, stretched, and torn. By the final track, the cloth is unrecognizable – transformed by everything it’s endured.

Besides all the ordinary formats from LPs, CDs and streaming, »Wayhome« will be available on Apple Music in Dolby Atmos, a spatial audio format for optimal listening that creates a three-dimensional experience. It’s fully produced in 96Khz.
