Covering 16 songs and crafted in theproducer’s studio over the past few 4 years, the Tel Avivian has swapped the misty aura of his first two EPs for a smoked out haze. ‘You’ effortlessly blends digi-dub, boogie, and yacht rock to create a washed out, dub-pop sound befitting of its place of recording sat at the edge of the desert and the sea. If Lee’s earlier works were defined by brooding downtempo beats with kids television vocal samples sprinkled amongst them, then the album hears the producer open himself up to the process of the singer-songwriter, getting behind the microphone and optimistically speaking words of his own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut perhaps that may be put too bluntly. Fankly, Lee fluidly moves between crooning, whispers, gasps all the way to full on ballad style singing effortlessly and with ease. His newly develop vocal experiments are too supported by an impressive array of collaborators which can be found in the LP’s liner notes. These collaborations also help to mix far-flung musical styles into the LP. For instance, take Kol Hayom featuring Keren Ilan. It’s a laid-back tune that would sit comfortably beside Rita Lee tropicália. Or Love To Puff You Baby featuring $hkuru, which upends Donna Summer’s bodily groove into a heady bop.‘You’ is a testament to Alek Lee’s prolific exploration of his own brand of dub: shimmering off-beat guitars, low-fidelity beats and deep grooves.

Berlin’s Toy Tonics label brings up artists that reflect many of these different aspects in dance music. Now the label comes up with a band! A band that is inspired by 1980ies New Wave as well as the Y2K Indie dance scene. Two guys and 2 girls from Amsterdam and Montreal called Baby’s Berserk.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBaby’s Berserk is about taking the freedom to be who you want to be, about being comfortable. Having played in all-girl punk bands since the age of 14, the bands singer Lieselot is an expert on female empowerment. “Dress like a girl and act like a boy,” is a catchphrase she lives up to every day and it clearly is a message that resonates with the band’s wild fans.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the great tradition of Roxy Music, Throbbing Gristle and Malcolm McLaren, Baby’s Berserk is not just about the edgy music, but also about a very strong own visual style. They readily blend their sounds with underground fashion. What you see is what you get and seeing Baby’s Berserk is feeling right at home. Lieselot is a visionary when it comes to stage presence. Have you always wanted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eto see an electronic band with a punk attitude perform wearing a mix of haute couture and Flintstone-style rags? Look no further, it’s Baby’s Berserk.\u003cbr\u003eFollowing on the critically acclaimed singles ‘What I Mean’ (2020) and ‘Toxic Kisses’ (2022), Baby Berserk’s highly anticipated self-titled full-length is now finally about to see the light on Berlin’s Toy Tonics records. Sonically designed for gritty rock venues as well as up-to-date edgy dance clubs, Mano’s lush compositions smoothly intertwine with the highly associative lyrics written by Puggy and Lieselot. Poets and literary addicts may think they’ve just discovered the rock \u0026amp; roll equivalents of Sylvia Plath, Kurt Vonnegut and Allen Ginsberg. To tell you the truth: their wild guess is pretty accurate as the works by these greats lie scattered around the Baby’s Berserk studio for inspiration.\u003cbr\u003eThe band was born in a laboratory back in 2019. Tired of being in bands with unruly and unpredictable humans, Mano Hollestelle set out to create a group of high precision robots to create the post-punk sound he had in mind. His outdated technology of floppy disks and cassette tapes worked well to program the androids, until one day a 90s rave mixtape was mistakenly entered into his computer. House music is a feeling and the punk bots instantly got hooked on it upon hearing it for the first time. They could never be reset to factory settings again. Mano worked tirelessly with his androids, currently known by their humanoid names of Lieselot Elzinga, Puggy Beales and Eva Wijnbergen, to fulfil his evil plan to make the rockers dance and the dancers rock. Baby’s Berserk is the fiendish extension of this plot. Beware, the band’s bass driven grooves and computerized beats have been known to cast a spell upon all within earshot.\u003cbr\u003eSo what do the songs on ‘Baby’s Berserk’ tell you? That it’s totally fine to have lots of fun in life! To have a boyfriend as an accessory (‘Accessories’), to get inspired by Sponge Bob (‘Dancing with the Fish’) and to blend your spirits with mixers whenever the hell you feel like it (‘Rum ‘n’ Kola’).\u003cbr\u003eBaby’s Berserk member Puggy Beales on ‘Limousine’: “Decant the wine from my tip jar to yours. Soon we'll be on easy street, chauffeured home from the rat race each evening.

It’s Sunday evening at the Meakusma Festival, 2019. A small audience (in varying states of inebriation and recovery) sit patiently on the floor, drenched in soft sunlight. Fizzy Veins is set up to play - his guitar resting on his knees while he stares into his laptop with an expression displaying amusement and fear in equal measure. He tentatively speaks into the microphone. There’s a lot of reverb. I don’t think anybody has the slightest idea what he’s saying. I assume he’s delivering a joke, but it’s very hard to tell. People laugh. After yet more tweaks to his gear he starts to play some loose, bendy phrases on the guitar, and we are all gently vaporised up Mount Effervescent. Our benevolent guru sits at the peak, speaking in tongues to the freshly formed congregation. The beats start to roll out and the sun begins to set in the evening sky. Fizzy transitions and he continues his long distance narration from deep inside his own reverb. It sounds like he’s in another room.

It is about saying your goodbyes to everything that doesn't serve you anymore. Each of these songs has a little goodbye in it. So, these are very beautiful and necessary goodbyes\". Hanakiv is a young composer and musician from Estonia (now based in London) who creates meditative piano-based ambient music with elements from classical and electronic music. 'Goodbyes' is her debut recording and draws on influences as diverse as Tim Hecker, Björk \"Vespertine\", Kara-Lis Coverdale, Arvo Pärt, Erkki-Sven Tüür and Aphex Twin as well as her own cultural heritage. Music has an important part in Estonian culture, especially choir music and its traditions, but Hanakiv also draws on her love of nature – the beautiful Estonian seaside and forests - and on her time in Iceland. However, it was moving to London that gave her the freedom to make her own music: \"London gave me the freedom and courage to really be who I am (as a person and musically)\" and her heritage and her new home both offer inspiration to Goodbyes, as Hanakiv moves between these two opposite places, a bustling metropolis and a small country full of nature, drawing inspiration from both as she sculpts her own voice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 400px; height: 406px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1441676226\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hanakiv.bandcamp.com\/album\/goodbyes\"\u003eGoodbyes by Hanakiv\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Passenger Seat Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42924250005699,"sku":"9081002","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/5011\/1427\/files\/a0434525597_10.jpg?v=1709881878"},{"product_id":"hydroplane-hydroplane","title":"Hydroplane - Hydroplane","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormat : LP\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLabel : Efficient Space\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalog # : ES027\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre : Indie\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHydroplane reinstate their formidable 1997 debut of sublime guitar atmospherics, fragile lyricism and droning incidentals with an overdue vinyl and digital reissue.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAn offshoot of the now-féted The Cat’s Miaow, the trio formed after their drummer decamped to London, charting new territory with tape loops, manipulated samples and a borrowed Jupiter 4 in the wake of Endtroducing.

Anya Prisk and Izaak Schlossman met in Oakland in 2016, bonded over their love of ‘80s sounds and immediately began building their musical world with lush synths, funky basslines, and irresistible hooks. The past is always in their palette, but Loveshadow’s nostalgia doesn’t trace to any single locus; it’s more like a cloud, and it’s through this haze that they breathe new life into the music they love. Their debut album was released in 2021 on Music from Memory to acclaim. II presents a more subtle and refined statement from the band - laser-focused on the vaporous expanse. Album opener “Last Room” saunters with the confidence of Sade, while “Earthen Track” feels like Kate Bush covering a forgotten city pop anthem. The album is largely focused on club-friendly material, but mellower pieces like “Winter’s Door” and “Mirage” are sophisticated stand-outs that would make Ryuchi Sakamoto proud. Italo funk groover “Power Melts Away” closes out the album by upping the energy into fist-pumping territory. Anya’s lyrics on II use the unreality of dreams as a lens to examine the realities of change and personal growth; illusions made material. Loveshadow elegantly smear the lines between past and present, pop and avant, immanent and transcendent.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 400px; height: 373px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3031921395\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/loveshadow.bandcamp.com\/album\/ii\"\u003eII by Loveshadow\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Passenger Seat Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42924281528515,"sku":"4707370","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/5011\/1427\/files\/Loveshadow_-_II.jpg?v=1737674624"},{"product_id":"loveshadow-loveshadow","title":"Loveshadow - Loveshadow","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFormat : LP\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eLabel : Music From Memory\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCatalog # : MFM055\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eGenre : Electronic Pop\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMusic From Memory are excited to introduce another new group for 2021, this time presenting the self-titled debut album from Loveshadow.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCurrently based in San Francisco, the duo of Anya and Izaak initially met whilst working in an Oakland cafe in 2016.

After playing in kraut-oriented bands like So Many Mammals, parts of that group reformed into the live techno outfit Tren Né, with the goal of fusing techno elements with live drums. Playing for illegal raves with a punk-like energy, nrl:ndr has cemented his relationship with his machines in service of the dance floor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut his solo debut on blundar is quite far removed from that scene. To understand this music, one should be aware of the conditions under which it was manufactured. Reluctant to consider himself an artist in the traditional sense, nrl:ndr makes his music free of anticipation and without apparent goals. To glean into this outré musical space is like putting one's ear to the boarded up windows of the photograph that adorn the front sleeve.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe album makes extensive use of the Roland JV-2080, a sample-based synth rack from 1996 with a distinctly clean sound. Our producer dives deep into the expansion cards (labeled after genres like “Hip Hop” and “World”) for curious and sometimes cheesy samples. But he also forces the JV-2080 to do things which are not its forte, like the arduous task of programming decent kick drums.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnother technique that is testament to his experimental view on music making, is the idea of using sketches of unfinished tracks with different time signatures, and mash them together into something new - of which the results of one of these experiments can be heard on the closing track and its bilingual conversation between ambient and tribal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFull of stunted rhythms and eerie melodies, the unclassifiable nature of the music of nrl:ndr lies somewhere in the vicinity of IDM, classical avant garde and private press synth. From the epic opening track - echoing the post-kraut drumming style of Michael Shrieve - to juggling with chopped up vocal samples and treading into almost trap-like territories on A4, he crosses into a multitude of genres without getting his hands too dirty with nostalgia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/k9aFQDHcZpw?si=ovdsSloJ85zaPOPo\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/16sGVSjDKrY?si=b1dhKZM39x8oseQM\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Passenger Seat Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43215547367619,"sku":"","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/5011\/1427\/files\/MDMtMjQ3OS5qcGVn.jpg?v=1713222800"},{"product_id":"blue-lake-sun-arcs","title":"Blue Lake - Sun Arcs","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFormat : LP Black Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eLabel : Tonal Union\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCatalog # : TU002LP\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eGenre : \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/passengerseatrecords.com\/collections\/electronica-indie\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Indie\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eIndie\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeaving between self-built zithers, drones, clarinets, slide guitars and drum machines, ‘Sun Arcs’ presents a unique sound space formed by an inventive approach to acoustic folk and jazz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe starting point of ‘Sun Arcs’ saw Jason travel for a week alone to Andersabo, a cabin set in the Swedish woods just outside of Unnaryd, known also as the music project, festival and residency space which has been run by Dungan since 2016, hosting artists like Sofie Birch, Johan Carøe and Ellen Arkbro. Whilst writing 1-2 pieces per day, a conscious decision was made to leave behind everyday distractions and shut out the outside world to instead focus on the natural passage of time as Dungan recalls:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“My only sense of time came from these daily walks out in the woods with my dog, and an awareness of the sun’s path as it moved across the sky each day.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album’s immersive world unfolds with the opener ‘Dallas’, a musical synthesis of these two disparate spaces (Texas and Denmark), the touchstones of Dungan’s life. A folk-esque single acoustic builds to a flowing arrangement of clarinets, organ and cello drones coupled with percussion. ‘Green-Yellow Field’ chimes in as the first of two solo oriented zither recordings twinned with the dreamlike title track ‘Sun Arcs’, both densely rich as cascading and overlapping harmonic tones resound. ‘Bloom’ emerges with a krautrock psyche before an eruption of cello drones, slide guitar and free-ranging zither playing, ushering in the anticipation of spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“The title and the feel of the song comes simply from my summers in Sweden – when the plants and insects are opening up everywhere, and there’s this almost too-intense feeling of life outside.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith half of the recordings conceived in Andersabo, Jason returned to Copenhagen to form the album's centre piece ‘Rain Cycle’ which features a tempered Roland drum machine alongside shifting zither improvisations. ‘Writing’ explores the shimmering harp-like qualities of sweeping playing figurations with Dungan mapping out adjusted tuning “zones” on the zither for unconventional but creatively liberating effects. ‘Fur’ captures the feeling of openness and the momentum of time, seeing Dungan perform waves of solo clarinet, often in one takes and embellished with textural drones, a zither solo, and layers of guitar. ‘Wavelength’ the album's closer is fondly inspired by the film works of Michael Snow and Don Cherry’s seminal live album ‘Blue Lake’ (1974), as it builds out from a drone-generated zither chord and features an alto recorder solo. Dungan found a deep connection to Cherry’s stripped back performance ethos, focusing on the core beauty of minimal instrumentation creating a genre-less meeting between folk and jazz. A dialogue is formed between the solo and the bandlike performances, interlinked in a geographical duality with all finding a sense of commonplace as musical sketches of visited landscapes. The bountiful instrumentation ebbs and flows as further layers emerge with Dungan constructing his material by recording and reviewing, adding and subtracting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMusically it portrays a life led by an American person living in Scandinavia, responding to both the local music and landscape while looking back to American influences. Dungan concludes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Both places feel like “me”, I think on some level the music is always some kind of self-portrait.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘Sun Arcs’ depicts the intricate balance of nature’s cycles and the paths outlined by the seasons, from a winter dormancy to a warm sun drenched scene. The album scales new heights and further defines Dungan’s musical narrative, inhabiting a unique space in left-field, improvised and experimental music, bearing his most accomplished compositions to date. A singular and visionary expression, drawing on an array of instruments and sound worlds with a renewed sense of joy and discovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album's rich tapestry was mixed by Jeff Zeigler (Laraaji, Mary Lattimore, Kurt Vile \/ Steve Gunn) and mastered by Stephan Mathieu (Kali Malone, KMRU, Félicia Atkinson). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 400px; height: 406px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=446609929\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bluelake1.bandcamp.com\/album\/sun-arcs\"\u003eSun Arcs by Blue Lake\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Passenger Seat Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43611034976451,"sku":"","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/5011\/1427\/files\/bluelake.jpg?v=1717089471"},{"product_id":"various-atlantic-mavericks-a-decade-of-experimental-music-in-portugal-1982-1993-2lp","title":"V\/A - Atlantic Mavericks A decade of experimental music in Portugal 1982-1993","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFormat : 2xLP\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eLabel : Glossy Mistakes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCatalog # : GLOSSY016\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eGenre : Electronic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2LP\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- First compilation diving deep into the Portuguese experimental scene from 80-90s on a double LP special edition\u003cbr\u003e- Iconic figures such as Telectu, Luís Cilia, Nuno Rebelo or Carlos Maria Trindade are featured on the compilation\u003cbr\u003e- Previously unreleased material on vinyl\u003cbr\u003e- Extensive liner notes on a serigraph artwork and hype sticker\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2.

Folksong confessionals with the burden of memory. Ghostly confines, murmurs from the cracks. Soil, blood and skin. The beauty and mundanity of the everyday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe voice of Funke is a distinctive instrument, one which perfectly elucidates her sometimes confessional, at other times deeply inward allusions to love, loss, joy and disquiet. Lyrics grounded in observation and adventure (“Eyeballs, asphalt, grass clippings, peppercorns”) unravel into uneasy truths daubed in self-consciousness and forbidden desire (“I’m not shy \/ There's just a sparkle in your eye and I don't feel right”).

Through the body and mind, rhythm and lyricism, they make sense of the worlds around and within; 2021's Feelings celebrated self-reflection; 2022's Angelo processed loss, coinciding with the duo's first headlining tour, which doubled down on the material's desire to move. Now, across the playful expanse of Macro, arriving in 2024 on Ghostly International, Brijean engages different sides of themselves, the paradox of being alive. They've leveled up to meet the complexities and harmonies of the human experience with their most dynamic songwriting yet. Colorful, collaborative, sophisticated, and deeply fun, the album animates a macrocosm with characters, moods, and points of view rooted in the notion that no feeling is final and the only way out is\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ethrough.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Worlds of beauty and pain \/ I spy comedies in the most mundane,\" Murphy sings on \"Euphoric Avenue,\" the rainbow road to Macro that expands Murphy and Stuart's shared sense for storytelling. One of the first tracks recorded in their home in Altadena on the outskirts of Los Angeles, \"Euphoric Avenue\" took shape on organ and drum machine, later welcoming live contributions from Stephanie Yu (strings), Logan Hone (flute), and Kosta Galanopoulos (drums). \"Being in this beautiful part of town nestled up against the San Gabriels played a big role in how comfortable we felt stretching out and trying to push our musical boundaries,\" says Murphy. \"Anytime we brought someone into the world to add their musical touch, it felt like a highlight.\" Throughout the album, additional friends dropping in — including drums parts from Chris Cohen on \"Laura\" and Khruangbin's \"DJ\" Johnson Jr. on \"Rollercoaster” — give the songs extra depth and bounce.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMacro’s sequencing elicits an exploratory vibe with high-tempo peaks and breezy valleys in the psyche; astral drifts like \"Euphoric Avenue\" and \"Roxy\" (with lapsteel by Ryan Richter) brush up against propulsive pop numbers like \"Bang Bang Boom\" and the breakbeat-bursts of \"Breathe.\" The latter's exhale sets up \"Counting Sheep,\" both a wistful ballad and a bop. \"It's only in my dreams when I'm with you,\" Murphy repeats across a grooving beat that Stuart built on his OP-1 remixing the demo late at night, isolating the vocals and guitar. \"I wrote the lyrics to this song while struggling with insomnia and heartbreak,\" says Murphy. \"That kind of heartbreak that is all-consuming and unrelenting. But I found that within those gutting feelings, the more I leaned into the longing and became witness to the uncontrollable, I was brought closer to peace.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Workin' On It\" finds Brijean at their lightest and free. The track initially started as a living room jam, then \"Doug played the two-layered basslines over a loop of bongos, congas, and a drum machine and the rest felt like it happened in a dream,” explains Murphy. While working late into the night and struggling with insomnia, she improvised her sleep-deprived lines, riffing on self-improvement and modern times, half-serious at first but something clicked in those small hours.

Writer and musician Devon Hansen penned a series of \"Suggested Stories\" to accompany the album, adding depth to its lore.

Through these tracks you can feel that history; echoes of Castings and Vincent Over The Sink in ‘Do You Bless It?’, Bowman's distinctive submerged tape loops gurgling away under boom bap and *that* Sydney guitar tone in ‘Esk’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElixa attempts to bottle some pinged-eye wonder at the magic surrounding, whether in the city or the bush. Informed by the old but drug into The New, it is a begrudgingly current Australien record that respectively nods at the UK’s sound history. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 400px; height: 406px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2772334028\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/efficientspace.bandcamp.com\/album\/elixa\"\u003eElixa by Th Blisks\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Passenger Seat Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43897334268099,"sku":"","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/5011\/1427\/files\/ThBlisks-Elixa.jpg?v=1724782324"},{"product_id":"jimi-tenor-sahkomies-reissue","title":"Jimi Tenor - Sähkömies (Reissue)","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFormat : LP\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eLabel : Bureau B\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCatalog # : BB4511\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eGenre : \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/passengerseatrecords.com\/collections\/jazz\" title=\"Jazz\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eJazz\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/passengerseatrecords.com\/collections\/electronica-indie\" title=\"Electronic\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eElectronic\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSähkömies is Jimi Tenor's solo debut from his NYC period in early 90's.

I put my heart and soul into this record, and every song on the album is imbued with a level of vulnerability that I've never shared before. These songs were my way of processing the big moments of life we've gone through in the last four years: starting a family, losing a pregnancy, dealing with generational trauma, confronting questions about purpose as we get closer to 40.

Misogyny and racism. Social media vanity. Post-colonialism and political correctness. These are not talking points that you’d ordinarily hear on the dancefloor but Charlotte Adigéry and Bolis Pupul are ripping up the rulebook with their debut album Topical Dancer. The Ghent-based duo, who broke out with their 2019 Zandoli EP, are rare storytellers in electronic music: they take the temperature of the time and funnel them into their playful synth concoctions – never didactic and always with a knowing wink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir debut studio record – which cements them as a duo under both their names for the first time and is co-written and co-produced by Soulwax – is both a triumph of kaleidoscopic electro-pop and “a snapshot of how we think about pop culture in the 2020s.” It captures Charlotte and Bolis’s essence as musical collaborators and the conversations they’ve had over the past two years on tour, as well as their perspectives as Belgians with an immigrant background, Charlotte with Guadeloupean and French-Martinique ancestry and Bolis being of Chinese descent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond the album’s thematic heft, Topical Dancer reflects Charlotte and Bolis’s idiosyncratic sound: it’s thoughtful but it bangs. Their take on familiar genres is always off-kilter; songs sound undone or a little wonky; but these are nocturnal heaters to make the club throb. “We like to fuck things up a bit,” laughs Bolis. “We cringe when we feel like we're making something that already exists, so we're always looking for things to combine to make it sound not like a pop song, not like an R\u0026amp;B song, not a techno song. We’re always putting different worlds together. Charlotte and I get bored when things get too predictable.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTopical Dancer is fizzing with ideas – there’s certainly no filler among its 13 tracks. But above all, perhaps, it has a restlessness, a desire not to be boxed in and to escape others’ narrow perceptions of who they are. It’s summarised by the refrain of their new single, ‘Blenda’: “Don’t sound like what I look like \/ Don’t look like what I sound like.” “One thing that always comes up,” says Bolis, “is that people perceive me as the producer, and Charlotte as just a singer. Or that being a Black artist means you should be making ‘urban’ music. Those kinds of boxes don’t feel good to us.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘Blenda’ in particular references how “I am a product of colonialism,” says Charlotte, “and I feel guilty for taking up space in a white country.” The song was inspired in part by Reni Eddo-Lodge’s book Why I’m Not Longer Talking To White People About Race. “It talks about the colonial past and post-colonial present in the UK,” Charlotte continues, “but that isn’t merely a British or American problem, Belgium is part of that as well.” She says that her home country is likewise “oblivious to a big part of its history” which “results in general ignorance and a lack of understanding and empathy towards Belgian inhabitants of immigrant descent.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn Topical Dancer, it’s less about finger pointing or being dogmatic about all the things they speak about. It’s about emancipation through humour. “I don’t want to feel this heaviness on me,” says Charlotte. “These aren’t my crosses to bear. Topical Dancer is my way of freeing myself of these issues. And of having fun.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACKLIST\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLP\u003cbr\u003eVINYL 1\u003cbr\u003eFACE A\u003cbr\u003e1. BEL DEEWEE 2. ESPERANTO 3. BLENDA 4.

Throughout her acclaimed discography, Astrid Sonne has been carefully crafting different moods through electronic and acoustic instrumental endeavours. On “Great Doubt” this skill is refined, now with the distinct addition of the composer's own vocal in front. The tone of each track is unmistakably Sonne’s, structured around contrasts through an impeccable sense of timing. Lyrics on the album are sparse, merely highlighting different scenes or emotional states of being, leaving the music to fill in the blanks. Yet they also form a pattern of ambiguity, consolidated through the album title, searching for answers through looking at how and what you are asking, questions for the world, questions of love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe viola, a trusted companion since Astrid Sonne’s youth, appears effortlessly throughout the album, fully integrated into the sonic universe; through a pizzicato driven arrangement in the poignant track “Almost” or along with booms and claps in mutated cinematic stabs during “Give my all”, paraphrasing Mariah Carey's 1997 ballad. Yet the string section also gives way to explorations of woodwinds, counterbalancing the bowed movements with digital brass and airy flutes. Finally, beats and detuned piano are fresh additions to the soundscape, cementing how Sonne’s practice is always evolving into new territories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Passenger Seat Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44013915537603,"sku":"","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/5011\/1427\/files\/GreatDoubtbyAstridSonne.jpg?v=1729283203"}],"url":"https:\/\/passengerseatrecords.com\/collections\/electronica-indie.oembed?page=5","provider":"Passenger Seat Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
