Dark Entries is proud to release the sophomore EP "Occupations" from San Francisco based synth trio INHALT. Consisting of European and East Coast natives-- Matia Simovich, Bryan Gibbs, and Philip Winiger-- INHALT's core operative strategy is of sonic fidelity and integrity rather than nostalgia. 
Living through the rise of a surveillance society, neo-liberal agendas, and the permeation of the ephemeral into popular culture, INHALT return with a focused commentary in the form of the "Occupations" EP. The record was produced over a year and a half, and mixed in both Austria and California, employing the best of modern and vintage techniques and technology. The sound is INHALT's interpretation of the border between the voice driven song form and the expansive, extended 12" arrangement. It is informed equally by the soundtracks of John Carpenter, as much as the vastness and sheen of Trevor Horn. 
All tracks were written, produced and mixed by the band at The Bunker Studio in San Francisco. Additionally the tracks on SIde B were mixed with the help of Werner Freistätter in Türnitz, Austria. The tracks were then mastered by Paul Lavigne in London, England at Walls of Sound Mastering. The final EQ curve for vinyl by was done by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley.  Each LP is housed in a specially designed jacket by Leo Merz and includes an insert with lyrics.

Sublime synth wave. Mushy began her career crafting noise bursts and aggressive oblique instrumentals before, in her newest form, blooming into a beautiful, epic and heart-heavy icy synth princess. 

'My Life So Far' is the first taster for her new album 'Breathless' and it takes the blue print established on her debut album 'Faded Heart' - namely ghostly harmonies, glacial rhythm movements and beautifully waster vocals, and turns it all up to ten. Sonically, the album is a wide-screen, incredible achievement, with legendary 4AD group A.R. KANE drafted in to help out with production and writing. 'My Life So Far' features an exclusive track not on 'Breathless.' 

You're left feeling a melancholy sense of loss so sweet and delightful that you wish it to go deeper and longer.

Mushy - B2 - PHANTOM LOVE

Tobias Bernstrup - Surround - Martial Canterel Remix

Mannequin Records is simply elated to present the debut 12'' EP from Phantom Love, a mysterious Kosmische act from Southern Europe.
 
Emerging from the majestic and fiercely sun-trapped lands of the Old Continent, Phantom Love takes you along a dazing journey through a spectral yet dreamy haze of spacey psychedelia.
 
Drawing inspiration and guidance from the ever-revered mitt European and Mediterranean tradition of Kraut and Cosmic rock, Phantom Lovemanages to encapsulate and transcend the formulas normally associated with these genres.
 
A retro-futuristic feast for the ears, a production that is equally analogue and digital, haunting and exotic, Phantom Love’s debut is a sonic sculpture of obsessive arpeggios and reverb-drenched strings.
 
Against this arcane melodic canvas, tribal and shape-shifting drums structures fight and discipline the liquid interplay and superimposition of cymbals and cowbells delays.
 
*Limited Edition of 300 copies with artwork by Giandomenico Carpentieri. 

Strongly recommended to fans of Brian Eno, Klaus Schulze, John Carpenter, Carter Tutti, Stellar Om Source, Harald Grosskopf, Tangerine Dream, Beak, Zombie Zombie.
