Deeply entrenched in the ambitious production work of Italian producer Mystics is an aching sense of the forlorn. On his debut for Bank, “Absent Heart Raze”, a floating cough syrup laced voice haunts broken beats and pummeling breaks over the course of six emotionally engaged listens. Often with maximalist makers, the perspective of the producer can get lost in the olympic techniques of the day. Here Mystics pushes past those egoistic constraints to balance an emotive underpinning amidst a rich palette of blown drums, glitched gestures, and crisp jungle breaks. “Absent Heart Raze” is a concise output, but does not lack in density and depth. Mystics contemporary vocabulary does not burden the listener, each track leaving the listener hungry for both another listen and an eagerness to consume the next chapter in this EP. “Absent Heart Raze” sits as comfortably in a dim smoke-filled bedroom as it does on a sound system, allowing one to get lost in the absent hearted realm of Mystics mind.

Mystics - I'm Gone (BNK-041)

Club music culture necessarily shifted gears in many ways during and after the course of the pandemic. Older participants found their way into other interests and younger participants took new reigns to orient spaces they felt good inside of. The agenda for the music, and the cultural industry surrounding it at large, took a more frivolous and “fun” turn. Clubs needed to recoup lost money, people needed more refreshing catharsis for their nightlife escape, and in some pockets scattered around the globe a newer and younger cadre of producers/promoters/DJ’s pulled optical cues from a scattering of “darker” influences to give an alternate aesthetic to the aforementioned “vibes” culture. In the midst of this, a large polarization of conceptual energy shifted within the compositional and utilitarian machinations of the club music culture leaving behind the brooding and cerebral placeholders for a different kind of enjoyable hedonism. Terrestrial Paradise’ “Artificial Hell” harkens to another prescient time before that shift occurred. “Artificial Hell’ might just be an illustration of what all of this fun escapism encapsulates.

Terrestrial Paradise is the latest moniker from Montreal come Los Angeles based producer Jaclyn Kendal. Having developed and cemented her sonic positionality with releases on North American labels like Ascetic House and Summer isle over the years, as well as a series of monolithic live sets, Bank is pleased to announce Kendal’s Terrestrial Paradise first full length album “Artificial Hell”. Over the course of nine recordings, “Artificial Hell” gives a master class in pressurized industrial techno of the slower variety. Fitting with the legacy of Bank’s output since it’s inception, Terrestrial Paradise’s aesthetic sensibilities sit within the canon of a certain tinge of club music imbued with a sense of natural grit, sans pretense.

“Artificial Hell” nods to artists like Scorn, Regis, and 400 PPM while maintaining it’s own territory in the landscape of cerebral and brooding rhythmic techno. Ominous, mechanistic drones sit above succinctly exacted percussion composition and sound design. Throughout “Artificial Hell”, Kendal shows her proficiency with the push and pull of building and releasing tension. On tracks like “Salvation” and “Relativity” she melds her synth wash wallscapes with driving percussion, serving as both a hint and counterpoint to the the entirety of the latter part of the album taking on spartan ambient compositions as a way to keep the listener in a subdued stasis. This album is a statement piece from a long time participant in the North American underground music sectors. It reminds the listener through perilous, considered rhythms and darker drone impositions to cement themselves back into a place where not everything is always a good time.

Repulse Xplosif.

Paradise Collapse is a state of limbo of profound uncertainty in which beliefs and assumptions break down.

The paradisiacal bubble we once inhabited bursts, leaving us exposed to the little fundamental things we had previously ignored or taken for granted. As the certainties we were once attached to crumble around us, we can rebuild our lives on a foundation rooted in authenticity and self-awareness.
Mirroring the constant changes we face, the music evolves, taking us on an emotional journey as we navigate an ever-changing landscape.

It is important to recognise that changes is an ongoing process, not an endpoint.
