Propelled straight into the depths, we are immediately enveloped with the synth textures we came to know in the Entomongaku albums, yet with a very different aesthetic. With “Aluminaut Rescures Alvin” the tone flips from the microcosm of the insect world to that of boundless seas, teeming with life. “Abiogenesis” stands out with its high-pitched synths, groovy delayed bass, and wild percussion — giving the track a frantic yet organic feel. Though the album portrays the vastness of the ocean, it is gentle at times. “A Squid and Her Eggs” is a great example of how intimate Chypho’s songs can be. Chypho is extremely adept at illustrating scenes through his music. His works are cohesive collections of stories — episodes if you will — that convey specific ideas while leaving room for interpretation. One could listen to this album over and over and still find hidden details in its trenches.

Episodes in Oceanography is the third title of the Chypho LPs released by Jahbulon Records.  The beautiful cover art, coupled with the sleek obi and gold-foil stamped numbers, make these a great addition to your collection.

These albums are also available as a serial number subscription set. Each of the four titles in the Chypho Serial Number Subscription Set contain the same low serial number at a 10% discounted price with free shipping in the US. Additionally, The sets will come with 5 buttons and a signed insert!

The sets will not be listed as a product on the website at a later point. It is only by emailing us that you can retain a subscription set, since it is easier logistically to assign numbers to subscribes via direct communication. We will be filling subscription slots until Mid September — the week the first two titles are set to ship.
