Australian, New York-based producer and composer BRUX has released her new album, ‘Halcyon Phase’, via Sources. Out now, the seven-track record finds the artist expanding her sonic language into ambient and cinematic territory.
First sketched in 2020 while living in Australia’s Blue Mountains, ‘Halcyon Phase’ began as a personal audio diary. Created with a minimal setup and informed by long periods of isolation, the project gradually evolved into a suite of atmospheric compositions. The album moves between stillness and swelling passages, weaving together synth textures, field recordings, classical elements, and BRUX’s own vocals. It was mixed and mastered by Damian Taylor.
“I’d always made music for shared physical spaces, but during that time in the Blue Mountains there were no clubs, no shows – only freedom to create,” BRUX shares. “These tracks started as little sketches during a really still, reflective period of my life and I kept coming back to them over the years as everything else changed around me.”
Across the years the album took shape, BRUX deepened a spiritual practice that informed her creative process. “The whole album became a form of manifestation, where presence mattered more than any deadline or expectation,” she explains. “What began as a solitary exercise became central to the record’s identity.”
‘Halcyon Phase’ will also see a limited vinyl pressing alongside a series of intimate live performances in New York City, translating the album’s meditative scope into a live setting.
