"The formative years of Hunter Thompson's music as Akasha System were seeded and shaped by the shrouded meadows and wet woodlands of the Pacific Northwest: Sea Glass, Shadow Self, Echo Earth, Geomind. But pandemic flux flipped the script, prompting a migration to the monsoon tropics of Tampa. Heliocene ushers in a fresh chapter in the Akashic record, recasting the project's precision synergy of cellular melody, holographic pads, spiral tribalism, and eco-futurist swing for a new solar age. The album's eight songs were recorded across 2023 and 2024, inspired by explorations of the many sanctuaries hidden in Florida's ragged paradise: singing towers, ancient grottoes, emerald lagoons. From vortex house ('Purity Vector,' 'Sun Particle') to mirage electronica ('Haunted Planet,' 'Soma Totem') to hand drum divination ('Terraform Dream'), the sides flow, glow, and gleam, dialed in but dreaming out, tracing radiant waves of the eternal now."

"From the forests of Cascadia to the rippling tropics of the Gulf Coast, Hunter P. Thompson's music as Akasha System both reflects and refracts the environment of its origin -- equal parts mirror, mixing desk, and meditation chamber. His latest, Phytopia, skews even loftier, a private portal into a primordial world of mist and mystery, framed by crystalline rivers, rainbow canopies, and hanging gardens. He describes its wavelength as 'a waking vision,' teeming with 'life, chaos, and magic.' Crafted across the past three years in his recently departed Portland, Oregon basement haven, Green House, the album's nine tracks unfold with a shimmering, cellular symmetry -- prehistoric and preordained, lush ecosystems in hidden harmony. A composite of synths, software, and spatial finesse, this is Akasha System at its most attuned and eternal, a forever expanding universe of percolating rhythm and fragrant air."
