Danny L Harle's album Cerulean marks his first full-length release on XL Recordings and his most definitive artistic statement to date. Following 2021's immersive Harlecore project, Harle considers Cerulean his true debut. "This is my debut album-It really is the big one."

Cerulean is a voyage into vast, alien sonic landscapes where speaker-blowing bass and euphoric trance synths meet intricate textures, from tactile sound design to field recordings of waves. It embodies Harle's pursuit of melancholic euphoria - a blend of megalophobic majesty and raw humanity - inspired by Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker, existing "on the threshold between dreams and reality." Seeking "the best melodies sung by the best voices," Harle enlisted an exceptional cast of collaborators, including Caroline Polachek, Clairo, Julia Michaels, PinkPantheress, Oklou, and MNEK, alongside newer voices like kacha-even his own daughters. Cerulean balances dancefloor power with emotional resonance to brilliant effect. Harle's wide-ranging influences - from hedonistic rave to the haunting Dark Souls video game series, Philip Glass's Einstein on the Beach, and Renaissance composers John Dowland, Thomas Tallis, and William Byrd - underpin the album's dazzling, genre (and centuries)-spanning focus. Born in North London, Harle's early exposure to avant-garde concerts and chart pop shaped his singular musical lens. Emerging from the visionary PC Music collective with 2013's "Broken Flowers," he became one of pop's most adventurous producers, collaborating with Charli XCX, Carly Rae Jepsen,& co-executive producing Polachek's acclaimed Pang, his credits span Oklou, FKA twigs, Shygirl, and Dua Lipa's Radical Optimism, earning him a GRAMMY nomination for Desire, I Want to Turn Into You. Fusing rave maximalism, classical composition and emotional depth, Cerulean distills Harle's lifelong fascination with beauty, wonder, and the unknown "I just have this mad desire to make my own favorite music," he says. "That's all I've ever wanted to do."

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations

SHIPPING:

We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.

Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.

RETURNS:

Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.

If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.

Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.

CANCELLATIONS:

Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.

Thank you for your understanding.
