A New Release From Paleo Music & Orbeatize

Conrad Praetzel’s Angels Set in Motion

CD & Digital release April 23, 2025 (Paleo Music)

Vinyl release April 23, 2025 (Orbeatize)

Conrad Praetzel’s latest album, Angels Set in Motion, is bold, transportive ambient music with a large sense of scale and motion, stunningly colorful and detailed, that invites active participation from the listener. Drawing on over four decades of experience in sound design techniques, he knows how to use the recording studio as a laboratory to create fertile environments for musical spirits to grow in. Then trusting the spirits, he waits and listens, prepared to tap into the magic when it happens. Electro-organic rhythms and other worldly textures evolve, twist, arc, and disintegrate unpredictably, allowing listeners to discover their own musical journey.

Conrad Praetzel is a multi-instrumentalist/ composer/ sound designer based in Northern California. He has self-published and promoted his recordings released on Paleo Music for nearly four decades. Angels Set in Motion is his twelfth album, six of which were released under the moniker Clothesline Revival: roots Americana with a modern electronica bent that Lucinda Williams acknowledged as an influence on her album West in No Depression Magazine.

He has never performed live but has received national acclaim including features on both NPRs All Things Considered and the Day to Day show. The entire Paleo Music catalog of Conrad Praetzel and Clothesline Revival albums are available on Bandcamp. Angels Set in Motion, his latest album will be available April 23, 2025.
