2020

Hands trembling, lip quivering; she struggled to keep her poise when he entered the room. She didn't know what had come over her, she was never like this. In fact she considered herself a cool, calm and confident person but there was something about his presence that instilled fear into her. She couldn't put her finger on what it was, but it didn't sit well with her. She felt as though she were losing control.

For their next outing Italy's Raw Culture welcome Fontaine SMC to the family: a project made up of two French artists and friends. Joined by their shared passion for electronic music, the duo have previously released several projects under other names which have often been filed under IDM and electro, but this time round they're diving deep into their love for synthwave and punk. Titled 'I Was A Soldier' the EP is a social criticism and exploration of human fears and hard relationships, voiced through a blend of EBM, raw, industrial synthesis and punkish, commanding vocals.

June / Lowfish (split)
“C.D.S.N.” (suction038)
12” vinyl EP - November 14, 2016
BUY: http://june-lowfish.bandcamp.com/

Suction Records presents a new split-12-inch by label alumnus June and Lowfish - “C.D.S.N.” (suction038) is 4 tracks of classic Suction-style melodic analog electro. 300 copies on ORANGE vinyl.

Berlin’s June first appeared on Suction Records with his 2015 debut album of wave-inspired electro, “Dominion.” Here, June opens the 12” with “Cynthia 84,” a a lush, beatless Tangerine Dream-scape, thick with analog arpeggiations and gorgeous melodies. “Navigation” closes proceedings with a driving, dark electro/wave dance track.

Toronto’s Lowfish co-founded Suction Records in 1997, and has been a staple of the label ever since. Lowfish appearances have been few and far between in recent years, but he’s returned here in finest form. “Dead Specimen” is clinical and pounding electro, while side B’s opener ”Scarborough Brutalist" is a prime example of Lowfish’s patented melodic electro style, with catchy, melancholy analog melodies cascading over slow but slamming 808 beats.

TWINS - Wicked Game [2MR-046]

Milkweed fills the field
Out the way from where i live
All the wings have long died off
It’s a little too late not enough
Reaching out to touch my face
Turn from it to spite your gaze
Sorrows deep-it seems to stay
Matter what you do or say
It’s a sea without blue
A sea without blue
A sea and you
Don’t forget me
Don’t forget
Have a good thing but we let it slip
Throwing out hearts over one bad night
Regret we will for the rest of our lives
Days are long but they’re never with you
Hustling on while our love turns blue
I do it for you, you do it for me
Damn it’s lonely makin good on our dreams 
Make a choice if you want to stay
Then look at me and communicate
Forgive for real when you say you do
Don’t say i’ll make it up to you
You never do
It’s a sea without blue
It’s a sea without blue
It’s a sea without blue
Me and you
Don’t forget me  
Don’t forget
Have a good thing don’t let it slip
Throwing out hearts over one bad night
Regret we will for the rest of our lives

Sea Without Blue

'Sunset In the Deep End' is the  new album from @Yppah, out February 07, 2020 on @FutureArchiveRecordings.

2xLP | CD | DIGITAL --> ffm.to/sunsetinthedeepend
_____________________________________________________________

Future Archive Recordings is excited to bring this long anticipated follow up to 2015’s Tiny Pause. Having just returned home after a successful European tour with fellow Future Archive Recordings’ artists Blockhead and Arms and Sleepers, Joe Corrales Jr – aka Yppah – is straight back to it with the brand-new single Shot Into The Sun and the announcement of a brand new album Sunset in the Deep End. Yppah’s ever growing penchant for fusing alternative, shoegaze and indie guitar textures to crisp hip-hop beats has seen his work used in high profile TV syncs such as CSI and House as well as video games such as Alone In The Dark.

Shot Into The Sun is another example of this, utilizing shimmering dream pop guitar lines a-la The XX or Interpol with the dub-roll rhythms of classic 90s groups like Massive Attack and Portishead. It is perfect cinematic territory, with emotive bass-pad providing deep, far stretching beds for all the delay and reverb on those high frequencies to carry you away into a dream.

Recording so many instruments live and on his own, Yppah manages to connect with his listeners more than his peers; there’s a real sense of conversation; he’s in the room with you, not detached, like so many sample-based producers. This is organic, deep and personal late-night music from a master of the craft.

This is a vital point in Yppah’s career and narrative. Making the move from Ninja Tune and Counter Records to the new imprint Future Archive Recordings comes at a pivotal point in his private life. With relationships ending and new beginnings abound, he took four years with over 60 sketches and demos before picking the final ten cuts that would form the new album – a signifier that Yppah’s path is wide open and possibilities are all around him. A new creative energy seems to have infected the record, connecting to the world of Future Archive Recordings and the tight-knit artist community they have fostered. With other key Ninja Tune alumni Blockhead – as well as the label-founding members Arms and Sleepers, Sun Glitters, Little People, and CNJR – Yppah now has a stable to let loose from once again. With North American and European tours in support of the new record, 2020 is set to be his biggest year yet.

Tristan Arp - Phylum (Kelman Duran Remix)

The NE-21 return to She Lost Kontrol after their first pitch-perfect 80s dark wave release in 2016. After releasing a collaboration with Donato Dozzy with the project 'Men with Secrets' at the beginning of the year, the duo lands on the label with their new work “In The Realm of Electricity". The album is a collection of 8 tracks composed and recorded between 2012 and 2020 at the Sy6 studio in Boscoreale. The outcome is a perfect blend of synth pop and minimal wave, filled with icy synths, shuddering bass, and anthemic vocals, ranging from mumbled vocoder to arch talk-singing. 

While diverse in atmospheric scope, swells of ghostly synths circle the driving beat throughout, producing a haunting totality drenched in an ethereal midnight trance; the submerge of cold, spectral vocals sing within the darkest depths of a starry soundscape – the gloomy romanticism of low, distant vocals bursting with post-punk melancholia. 

The track’s unease between purpose and utility create a discrete synthesis, and, like a piece of speculative fiction, the memory of the body and its coalescence with the future become prime motives for this liquid age. Akin to Ballard or Philipp K. Dick, the work is not only dreamlike and surreal, but vocally sinister, as if this spectrum of LUSH new wave ‘80s pop and Almond-style weirdness hides a truth waiting to be grasped. 
The album in essence sounds unashamedly distinctive, unique and charming. Whether you fall in love with the whole act or you’re just stunned by the bizarreness of it all, one thing’s for sure - you’ll be compelled and gripped right to the infectiously smutty end.
