Scavengers by Eric Angelo Bessel

Scavengers is the new single from Eric Angelo Bessel’s forthcoming record, Mirror at Night, his second solo album. Blending the vintage warmth of the Mellotron with the layered textures of early-2000s Alesis synthesizers, Bessel creates a sound that feels both mysterious and alluring.

The track stands as a polished instrumental piece, setting an experimental tone that hints at what we can expect from the full album.

Bessel comments on the track: “Scavengers is an homage to mind coalescence and superorganisms trying their thousands of hands at constructing lo-fi string ensembles echoing through the night, and in reverse, whenever it suits them.”

The album statement is also very indicative of its artfulness: "A floor can turn into a type of door to pass through, and once on the other side, it’s no longer a floor, but a ceiling of another room. Between two spaces suspended, somehow both above and below, knowing you do not belong in this passageway. Not like this. The aching knee of memory twinges at a red light, idly, recounting that you’re here but not to forget there. The different ways things can go are always just on the other side of how it went. Mirror at Night is composed of twelve vignettes glimpsing the in-between realm; the past, present, and future merging into a still, obsidian surface."

Mirror at Night will be released on October 31st, 2025.
