Paroles :

Quand on est loin, on y pense beaucoup trop,
Je me dis que tu es beau

Quand on s'efface et qu'on ramasse, 
Je me dis que tu sens bon

Quand on s'appelle et qu'on respire,
Je me suis dis que tout allait

Quand on s'attire et qu'on s'étire,
Tout mon corps se rétrécie 

:)

Quand On Est Loin ( ft. Boylucky )

City & i.o are immensely proud to present Chaos is God Neighbour, the full-length follow-up to their 2019 record Spirit Volume. This new release finds the musicians digging into murkier depths than Spirit Volume, and features extensive contributions from collaborators Dis Fig, aka Felicia Chen, x/o, aka Veron Xio, and vvilms, aka Aaron Wharton.

Composed at a frenetic pace over several weeks in mid-2020, the claustrophobia is palpable. As the album progresses the tracks get both shorter and progressively more brutal, interrupted by brief moments of respite. Throat-shredding harsh vocals provide a high watermark in intensity, while the expansive performances of Dis Fig and x/o serve as vantage points over the morass, giving the listener something both beautiful and human to grasp. Careening from rich synth work, to distorted guitars in alternate tunings; from i.o’s virtuosic and unhinged drumming to slabs of harsh ambient noise, this is a genuinely ambitious and rewarding album.

it’s 9 AM, you’re in a bathtub, you put your head under the water, everything gets fuzzy.
‘life is good’ you think ✧

“Decolorized idylls” somehow feels like seeing a blurry mirage or falling asleep in a bath.
Hiroki Yamasaki (running an absolutely brilliant Ukiuki Atama label) proves once again that he’s the master of ambiguous soundscapes always being soft and sharp / calming and unsettling / new age and post-internet / cute and spooky / ₍՞◌′ᵕ‵ू◌₎♡ and (･:ﾟдﾟ:･) at the same time.
so good to have him here in glamour ♡

"This album, as the title suggests, is a decolored version of the pastoral soundtrack. Density is reduced and gaps are left open. I leave it to you to fill in the gaps."

The Wind Of ?

After releasing her first tape “Fugue: Some Temporal Patterns Other Than the Forward March” on Genot Centre in 2017, artist and musician Johanna Odersky returns with another full-length album. The Städelschule sudent, who works primarily with sculptures,  continues to explore the silhouettes separating internal and external worlds and the mechanisms of inclusion, exclusion and domestication they reveal, on her self-titled album ‘Iku’. Her audio work can be described as a mishmash of associative samples, which Iku carefully weaves into a complex entanglement of emotionally charged sounds. While her first album relies heavily on blissfully arranged ambient pieces, the artist began to involve her own voice as a center piece in the “Body Horror” EP, which was released by berlin-based Creamcake last year.
The self-titled album feels like a sophisticated continuation of tracks like “À Tes Yeux” and her early work on Fugue, combining french pop vibes with classical instruments and gloomy spoken-word snippets, forming sonic material, which arises from sketches of Iku’s inner. Odersky takes us on a travel through a hypnagogic realm, which is full of contrasts and uncertain atmospheres.

Iku’s self-titled album ‘Iku’ will be released on May 17th, 2019 and will be premiered at Hyperreality 2019.

Mastered by Hari Stojan.
Cover by Iku.
