There’s something special about the quiet hum of Space Mountain’s new album, Gargantua. Local artist Cole Kinsler, the mastermind behind the lo-fi project, isn’t one to tell you exactly what they’re about or wax poetic about his recording techniques, but as his soft introspection winds its way over crackled riffs through the 28-minute record, it becomes clear that the songs speak for themselves.

In his new video for the final title track “Gargantua,” Kinsler winds his way through the wilderness of his Connecticut hometown, letting a series of dropped Polaroids dictate the next stop on his path. “It’s the journey, not the destination,” he drawls wryly in the song’s final seconds. “Ain’t that the cheesiest phrase I know.” Self-aware and layered in both production and reflection, “Gargantua” serves as a fantastic indoctrination to the expanse of Space Mountain’s music, as does the album of the same name. Buy it here on Bandcamp now, because this one won’t stay secret for much longer.
