The Seven Fields of Aphelion is, indeed, the full performing pseudonym of one of the key members of Black Moth Super Rainbow, and one might imagine that her full solo debut would be something in the vein of the playfully strange (and sometimes very sugary sweet) psychedelic whimsy of that band. But Periphery is something else again, an elegant exercise in sound (along with her own photography featured in the album artwork) that is far more suggestive of documentary soundtracks from the late ’70s and early ’80s, a mix of acoustic and electronic instrumentation to match dreamy images of nature and technology as featured in her photography.
