Arete releases new album 'In Search of the Ox'

The songwriter and producer of electronic music known as Arete has released his latest official album, “In Search of the Ox.” The album contains nine original Arete tracks for an approximate total listening time of 30 minutes. It has been proudly published as an independent release without the involvement of the corporate music industry. Colorful, imaginative, and even a little spiritual, “In Search of the Ox” showcases Arete as one of the most intriguing electronic music artists of the year so far and promises that he has plenty more where that came from.

Fort Worth, TX’s Arete cites as main artistic influences Aphex Twin, Flying Lotus, Autechre, Boards of Canada, Animal Collective, Toro y Moi, The Beatles, and Brian Eno. Arete’s own sound takes elements from each of these and adds something fresh and unique for a result unlike anything today’s music fans have heard before. With an emphasis on digital instrumentation, narrative chord progressions and a metric ton of sonic texture, “In Search of the Ox” by Arete has a little something for everybody.

Asked to describe the overall meaning of “In Search of the Ox,” Arete writes, “Have fun, be playful and don’t take anything too seriously. Enjoy life, pursue Truth, act selflessly, love unconditionally, and have a good time.”

Much like “In Search of the Ox,” however, there’s more to Hightower than basic altruism.

“So basically,” he writes, “I’m fascinated by life’s biggest questions. Why is there something rather than nothing? Who am I? What is the ultimate nature of reality?, etc. I also enjoy spirituality and ‘woo-woo’ stuff. And I love living a healthy lifestyle.”

“In Search of the Ox” by Arete is available from over 600 quality digital music stores online worldwide now. Get in early, electronic music fans.
