LEGENDO

Premiere: Lutto Lento - Fern Flowers [Haunter Records]

Oliver Torr's take on a traditional folk song from Liptovská Revúca, a track from the upcoming Liptov compilation.

Liptov is a 12 track collaboration between contemporary Czech and Slovak electronic music producers, each tasked with reinterpreting 1982s “Liptov - A Panorama of Folk Song and Music Culture”. The original collection sought to preserve the musical cultural heritage of the region, while the “Liptov” compilation maps the current spectrum of the electronic scene of both countries, across genres and styles. Initiated by Prague-based community project Punctum, and released on the Punctum Tapes label, the artists of Liptov not only confront the past with the present via the reimagining of traditional music, but also contribute to the ongoing emancipation of the local electronic music scene.

Compilation will be released on 12'' vinyl and digitally on February 12, 2021.

The first single from Frederik Valentin's '0011001'

https://frederikvalentin-poshisolation.bandcamp.com/album/0011001

Posh Isolation is proud to present the latest work from Copenhagen's quietly iconoclastic artist Frederik Valentin. Arriving in two halves, '0011001' & '0011000' together transport a suite of songs and compositions that render life's beauty in the same breath as life's binding determinations.

'0011001' is the first element of this twofold work, and it features Fine Glindvad, best known as the vocalist of the group Chinah, and the Copenhagen-based American vocalist Jeuru, a familiar voice in Valentin's catalogue.

As if catalysing all those who came into his orbit in the last years, Valentin has ushered in a dextrous and unassuming body of work as a willing collaborator and confidant. The most recent product of these engagements was his second album with Loke Rahbek, 'Elephant,' a work that pensively ricochets around the synthetic scaffolding of a wonderous acoustic environment, tracing songs as it goes. Preceding this was Valentin's breath-taking duo KYO with Hannes Norrvide. 2018 saw the release of 'All The Same Dream,' a full-length collaboration with vocalist Jeuru, which fantasised a rougher, granular edifice on top of the empyrean metropolis that was imagined with each previous release with Norrvide. Working with Yung Lean, Valentin was the producer of his album 'Nectar' as Jonatan Leandoer127, and also worked on a commissioned production for Sweden's Cullberg Ballet in 2018.

Valentin's new works, '0011001' & ‘0011000', do not abstain from collaborations, though on this occasion the authorship and breadth of scope remain entirely his own. As Valentin himself describes the album, "This is the space between becoming a father and losing my mother. All within one year, the space between zero and one." This is reflected in the two titles. Each is a binary representation of 0 and 1. Across the album, the space between these two thematic points is rendered in exquisitely gentle meditations on the quavering beauty that can be found herewith. "This is the infinite joy and unavoidable beauty of decay. This is from nothing to everything to nothing to everything to ... This is the sound of determinations, the entity of numbers."

Kindled from the gravity of these turbulent moments and experiences, Valentin has produced a twofold album that stands as his most accomplished and moving work to date. Throughout both '0011001' & '0011000' there is a gracious and elegiac instrumentation that knits a steady presence of electronic parts into perfectly balanced song-like structures. Never over-reaching with his experimentalist impulses, and never employing predictability to resolve a composition, Valentin has produced a suite of works that encourage a blissful, deep listening whilst retaining the ensnaring rapture of pop. If his deft ability as a multi-instrumentalist wasn't obvious from any one of his previous collaborations, it is perhaps on show most succinctly here. Likewise, Valentin's compositions and arrangements capture a maturity and earnest intensity that has not been revealed until now.

Frederik Valentin - Blue Ft. Jeuru

Time Flies By
Today I feel as vulnerable as I could be. Tomorrow I will get myself up and wait till time flies by. Get into this routine of fear. This endless fear of having your heart broken. Everyday. Bye bye childhood dreams and bye bye naivety. This is a new chapter where kindness and honesty is lacking. Where you have to as strong as a knight and as vigilant as a cat. Protecting your castle as if it is your last day living. This is where my new life starts. This is where I am born again.

Wings
Angels
Get out of my head
Get out of my bed
If you wanna go 
Outside and fly away
Don’t wanna be protected from anything 
Just spread your wings 
And join the birds above your head

One Last Kiss
Sometimes I cry without you
Drink a bottle of wine and forget about my sorrows
Sometimes I cry for you
Maybe your right about everything
How can stop this overthinking

I’ll reset my mind 
To start something new
Something new 
Something new 
Something new

I’m gone away gone away 
Maybe escape today
I wanna be missed 
Maybe one last kiss

Thank you <3

Time Flies By

In a globalised world, revisiting our history can be owed to diverse reasons: longing for a better time, looking for answers to our present and future and, importantly, the understanding of our identity. 

Prague-based Punctum Tapes has connected past and present through Liptov, a compilation in which contemporary Czech and Slovak artists reinterpret traditional songs from the geographical area of Liptov. Working upon an oral tradition that was recorded in 1982, the compilation maps the current electronic and club music scene in the area, both established and new talent.

Exhausted Modern’s take on ’Piesne ťažkých chvíľ’, which can translate as ‘Songs for the hard times’, transforms the mournful chant into a hopeful one. The artist has reworked the song’s core by altering its title (S dobrým koncem / With a good ending), but also by inscribing an uplifting call for better moods while we await better times.

PREMIERE: Mordio - Entificatio [Fur:ther Sessions]

Aquí de nuevo, los cartógrafos del ritmo.

De vez en cuando, se sacude la tierra
y el tiempo se hace espeso.
Corren años de microbiologia y en la voz de nuestra tierra habló nuestro dolor y nuestra historia habló nuestro dolor.
Y aún así, contamos con las armas
que mejor nos caben.
3 Tiros para festejar la rebeldía.
Llenar el aire de humo, mirar al cielo.
Hasta abajo sólo nos trajo hasta acá.
No se confundan, en esta casa
Se celebra el combate.
Larga vida a la Camanchaca.
Amor al baile y la amistad.

Producido por Juan de Borbón y Alejandro Duro, entre Buenos Aires y Ciudad de México en 2020.
Mezclado por Alejandro Duro.
