Salvatore Mercatante-DECAS

Subexotic is delighted to welcome New York based ‘synth maestro’ Salavatore Mercatante to the fold with his new album ‘DECAS’.

We are presented with a coherent, machine driven futurist soundscape. However, the gun-metal grey veneer is beginning to degenerate. Sleek bass lines and crisp snare shots are increasingly underscored with paranoid reflections, marking a more sombre narrative in Salavatore’s work:

“The final version of DECAS wasn't intended to be long for this world. It's deeply personal and in certain ways a tragic piece of self reflection. I had originally set out to write a spiritual successor to The Foundations of Eternal Sin (Castles In Space, 2020), which in so many words was a critique on the state of humanity. What came out was more intimate, involving my struggles with memory, anxiety, the passage of time, and feelings of inadequacy. DECAS also takes steps into a hypothetical future and what may come down the line. Dissimilar to previous albums, I decided to use samples to aid in storytelling as well as push the narrative (at some points perhaps a bit too clearly).”
