Latest single ‘Avarice’ is the opening track from Throwing Snow’s powerful Mosaic LP. Beginning with discordant, layered strings and a heady drone, a sparse beat propels it forward, heavy with atmosphere and mood. The release also features hard-hitting VIP versions of ‘Avarice’ which you can hear here and ‘As You Fall’, the latter featuring London-based songwriter and visual artist Py, both of which were developed for the dancefloor as Throwing Snow took his live show around the world. Finally, AUS label owner and !K7 A&R Will Saul & production partner Komon offer up a remix of ‘Hypnotise’, with Kid A’s vocals swirling around a dark, propulsive beat.

After a long intermission, Brambles is finally back with ’Spirits’. Since their last album, ‘Charcoal' (2012), the sound palette has shifted dramatically but the moody and melancholic qualities that made their previous release so resonant remain deeply embedded.

With 'Spirits’ Brambles has put vocals to the forefront using a combination of their own voice and an array of samples that have been shifted, warped and blended into an otherworldly language. Influenced as much by dream pop as experimental electronic music, Brambles strives to find the middle ground between pop and ambient.

In a contemplative exploration on solitude, Sergio Díaz De Rojas has delved into a nostalgic state of mind after moving from Peru to Spain, leaving friends and family behind for a new chapter of his life. Various late nights by the piano led to the creation of a softly sorrowful tribute to one of his favourite composers, Fryderyk Chopin.

The project got its title from Sergio’s fascination of old postcards to be found while slowly strolling through a quiet flea market, lending a vivid visual for the wistful sense of (dis)connection apparent in the two pieces. Porcelain, beautifully fragile, has a solemn intensity in its movement, flowing with the grace and concentration of a dancer, easily evoking a sense of lonesome mindfulness. Pomegranate is equally graceful but harbouring a hint of sensuality; it beckons and moves away, slow-burning but relentlessly passionate.

Postcards is available digital and on limited edition 7-inch vinyl, featuring artwork by multidiciplinary designer Ryan Carl.

Composed and performed by Sergio Díaz De Rojas
Recorded and mixed by Nil Ciuró at his studio in Barcelona
Mastered by Alex Saltz

Inspired whilst exploring abandoned spaces in suburban Paris, this new project was developed in creative fusion with the work of Arnaud Liard, a visual artist specialising in urban art. The collaboration formed led to an innovative visual concept wherein music and painting become one.
This first single marks the launch of six unique objet d’art that will be unveiled in November 2020.

Resurgence is also accompanied by a limited edition of 40 custom made cassettes which are be on sale on Your Master's Voice Records’ website.
