Pretty In Pink

Taken from 'Flower Knight' (G&P018) by hmurd, out June 27, 2021.

With acclaimed singles out on All Centre and TT, dozens of DJ and live gigs still resonating from the pre-pandemic era, and tracks frequently praised in shows by the likes of Rian Treanor or Beatrice Dillon, hmurd is one to watch. The rising London-based producer and co-founder of Cherche Encore oscillates from refined club-oriented tracks to beatless, code-leaning compositions, often drawing inspiration from computer games and their environments. Following the narrative of one of his latest self-released EPs 'The Grand Exchange', a collection of reworked themes from the cult MMORPG game RuneScape, he now presents a selection of songs from a soundtrack to a fictional game called 'Flower Knight'.

In this mini-album, hmurd documents glimpses of miscellaneous levels of the title game and its likely tricky challenges. Flower Knight is probably 2D. Well it might be 3D. The world is likely to be hostile to the player. It doesn’t exist so these things don’t need to be certain. Relaxed at times and thrilling the next, the captive nature of the gracefully composed collection underlines the relationship of simplicity and imagination. An immersivity fundamental of the sentiment we often hold of the well-aged titles like RuneScape or ICO, and of the relationships we build with the alternate realities they picture. Those endless runs to drop off your fully-loaded inventory, the sound of your catch cooking above the campfire, another gem obtained, a new level unlocked. One of the joys and satisfactions Flower Knight has to offer may lie in its reoccurrence - revealing itself slowly but steadily. Tone to tone, level to level, XP to XP.

hmurd - Forgotten Drawbridge

CRINGE MIX #86 - DASYCHIRA

The tracks on this release explore turbulence and desolation: mental, physiological, spiritual. They survey aftermaths, eulogising lost bliss and tattered memories. ‘Immaculate’ is a slow-motion shudder, the deeply held steadying breath that precedes numbness. It’s free-flowing and fluid, an ebb and flow of luminous shards and flickering embers reflected in pitch-black water. ‘The Bloody Entrails’ sears like an ice burn. The piece’s intermeshing string passages produce a haunted, shellshocked texture evoking darkening eyes and quivering hands. This is damaged music, shadowy and uneasy—a slow-dawning awareness of error and consequence. Alive but fractured, conscious but sullied.

[Premiere] J Sliwa – Light Gatherer

Lyrics:

Wake
Me up when it's too late
When I've become a waste
I'll float and let it break
Exhale and turn away
I've seen two separate ways
One smiles the other aches
I've watched, I'll float, I'll stay
Away

It's a big wave
Feels like an earthquake
Is it the moonlight that makes my heart ache?
It makes me shiver
It makes my bones shake
And I seek shelter in the nightshade
'Cause when it haunts me
At least I'll be safe
You'll hear me howling
'Till the night breaks
Until the moon drowns, until the stars fade
And when the night comes
I'll be in retrograde

Yeah I'll be
At a place where
Where the moonlight
Doesn't chase me
Yeah I'll be
Covered away from
All the tears that
Fill my face (yeah)
And I'll be howling
'Till the night breaks
'Till the sun sets and all the stars fade
Can feel my life slip
Into a new day
And when the dawn lifts
I'll hope I'll be awake

Yeah it's a big wave
Feels like an earthquake
Is it the moonlight that makes my heart ache?
It makes me shiver
It makes my bones shake
And I seek shelter in nightshade
'Cause when it haunts me
At least I'll be safe
And I'll be howling
'Till the night breaks
Until the moon drowns and the stars fade
To the see the new light
Of a waking day

The 22nd release of katharsis is the album “Jester” by the Finnish duo Running, coming out on May 16th. The album unfolds an emotional and mythological tale of an imaginary terrain in an alternate time and realm with the Jester as the protagonist. Throughout the eight tracks, the listener is presented with a sonic world of tragic, sadness, beauty and even comedy by the duo’s poignant style of melodious ambient compositions.

Running’s “Jester” follows their last album “For Us By Us”, released on the Finnish label True Aether in 2018. On this release, the group seem to thrive with a conceptual and almost narrative backdrop for their creative outpourings. As Running have earlier been known for their very energetic and experimental live-performances, and as both members have indulged musically in other projects spanning from hardcore punk to contemporary performance art, it will be exciting to see where the duo goes from here.
