about

Roman emperor Hadrian had the profile of handsome young Antinous minted on coins to commemorate the greatest love of his life, who tragically drowned in the Nile

By circulating his devastating loss in the form of legal tender, Hadrian instigated an enormous representation of the libidinal economy in the twilight of opportunities, as the symbolic tokens of his grief reached the most faraway edges of an empire that no longer had any meaning for him, thus proving that nothing material could ever replace love

In fond memory of an eternal gesture signifying perpetual arrival, as a sentimental acknowledgment of emotional generosity in the form of vulnerable candor, as a fecund catastrophe for an army of the gloriously defeated, as a kind testament to reality vanishing before our wide open eyes, as tranquil disappointment rains on the forest of farewells, Psychonaut Elite Records proudly presents its very first release, "The Melancholic Sublime" by Sons of Faust: a soundtrack written for imperial bedrooms, where the inconsolable are distracted by the sacred again in the morning of regardless
