“Light Music for Heavy Industry,” Wolcott’s 8th library album, is a kaleidoscopic journey into the psychedelic fringes of easy listening. Inspired by library music for industrial films, space-age pop, experimental jazz, exotica, and early synth pioneers, it’s Wolcott’s most sweeping and dreamlike work yet. Combining symphonic jazz-funk, hazy grooves, and avant-garde textures, the album crafts a playful, surreal, and atmospheric soundscape. Echoes of Pete Jolly’s Seasons, Alessandro Alessandroni, Charles Stepney, Esquivel, and Galt MacDermot ripple through this ode to an alternate future bathed in misplaced optimism.

All songs were written, produced, arranged, and recorded by Sean Wolcott at Soundview Analog Recorders.
