Neutrino Effect released VAPORED ANGELS on June 28, 2024 through Labile Records. It is a 7-track album with a total running time of about 19 minutes.
Inside the release
The notes describe VAPORED ANGELS as an instrumental album from Neutrino Effect, the project of composer Jon Sanford, then based in Omaha. It draws on the late winter of 2023 and the search for a place to call home. The notes also recall Sanford's soundtrack for the video game Three Fourths Home, which they say was nominated for Best Narrative at the 2015 Independent Game Awards.
The notes add that music first written for the canceled follow-up game was later released in 2023 on the album AZRL and the SGNL EP (extended play). According to the notes, 2024 was the first year Sanford released new music since 2015, with the FRACTURE EP and the album DISCONTENT appearing before VAPORED ANGELS.
From the release notes
The notes on the album's Bandcamp page set the scene: "Labile Records is proud to present VAPORED ANGELS, the latest instrumental album from Neutrino Effect, the musical project of Omaha-based composer Jon Sanford. Released on June 28, 2024, this album profoundly explores the emotional landscapes encountered during the late winter of 2023. Through VAPORED ANGELS, Sanford captures a sense of bleakness intertwined with a longing for a place to call home, a theme that profoundly resonates across the album's evocative melodies and thoughtful arrangements."
Later, the notes add: "After the success of this project, he was set to continue his collaboration with the same developer, but the subsequent project was canceled."
