Xing presents the new LP OWsT by Elvin Brandhi, eighteenth release of XONG collection - artist records. The release is on white vinyl, in a limited and numbered edition of 150 copies, including a collector's edition of 20 copies, each featuring bespoke talismans, painted by the artist in squid ink, to be worn as patches or kept safe somewhere to ward off misanthropists.

OWsT is a vociferous attempt to Shout The Self Out. Elvin Brandhi, artist and poet propelled by constant nomadic rupture in both art and life, screams her mind to explore the urgent contradictions of self and world, of language and meaning, relentlessly unlearning at the edge of words. In OWsT she extrudes her limbic dissidence keeping a raw tension through chaos, where the fumbling find its stratum of empowerment and can become more than its forlorn wondering:

"LanGuAGE! ContinuES to BE a FRantic FOCUS WHich CAN ONLY BenefIT from Internal ASSAULT. 
I try to OUT all of the words inside the HEAD. 
The struggle to articulate necessitates violence, bursts of inclination, gestures of intent that supersedes the capacity to express coherently. 
OWsT as a pretext for the form to disgorge, comfort zone extinguished awe against a lore. 
I am not I am KNOT. JOWST THE OWST OUT  OWST THE CELL”F OWT!"

OWsT originates from a live recording session at Raum, Xing’s space in Bologna. Recorded on tape and re-manipulated by the artist several times, more than a transcription of the expulsion process (literally ‘oust’, poetically and phonetically ‘owst’) the album is "a retrospective spell where tensions and indecisions, resistances, deviations and relapses constitute the process of the archaeologist attempting to retrieve from sight the mangled contents of what poured out.” Listening to Elvin Brandhi’s music can offer a chaotic and overwhelming experience.

Elvin Brandhi (born Freya Edmondes) is an improvising lyricist, producer and sound artist, originally from Bridgend in Wales, but a citizen of the world, moving between Vienna and Kampala, Berlin, Cairo, Dakkar, Marseille and Newcastle. She had a childhood immersed in music every day, and studied painting and drawing at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. Her sound production develops on distorted bases that act as an unstable platform on which she sings and performs her improvised stream of consciousness lyrical trips. Deep furious or nonsense, her spoken word lies on explosive and aberrant beats from field recordings, tape, vinyl, instrument and voice. Since 2013 she has played and collaborated with many improvisers. At each stop of her nomadic journey she collaborates with local artists. She has participated in international festivals. Among her stable collaborations are the low-fi noise pop duo Yeah You with her father Gustav Thomas, the duo BAHK with Daniel Blumberg, the INSIN duo with Bashar Suleiman, the project Avril Spleen with Joseph Jadame, the duo Pollution Opera with Nadah El Shazly, and Bad@Maths. She released the LPs Shelf Life (C.A.N.V.A.S), Villaelvin (Hakuna Kulala), Elvin Brandhi (Krai), and OWsT (Xing/Xong collection). In 2017 she was awarded the PRS Oram Award for Innovative Musicians, with a production commission at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. She was also part of SHAPE platform 2020.
