Taken from Romance's debut album 'Fade Into You' (ELP076) out now on Ecstatic

Romance's debut album proper 'Fade Into You' is a mesmerizing journey through the emotions of love and heartbreak, with a masterful blend of symphonic textures and collaged samples into ethereal studies in sound. Loosely inspired by Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s acidic 1975 melodrama ’The Bitter Tears Of Petra Von Kant’ an unforgiving dissection of the toxic relationship between a haughty fashion designer and a beautiful but icy ingenue, it’s a story where elegant surfaces hide tooth-and-claw instincts.

'Fade Into You' is a deeply textured and beguiling album that transports the listener to that world of faded glamour, desperate longing and narcissistic fantasy. The swelling orchestral arrangements, cathartic cadences and bejewelled sound collages create a sense of nostalgia cut with glazed neurosis while the swelling arrangements provide a lush and cinematic backdrop that perfectly soundtracks the wrenching intimacy and mysteries of love.

Following on the promise of 2022's iconic Celine Dion sampling 'Once Upon A Time’ and a brace of thrilling collabs with Lynch protege Dean Hurley and the mythological Old Testament ambient 'Eyes Of fade' collab album with Not Waving, 'Fade Into You’ provides a definitive and essential statement on the Romance sound.

Step Ball Chain’s unconventional prototype band trickpony is the 11th release on the ever evolving imprint. An assortment of sensual cyber jams collaged together by the trio over timezones, birthed in Perth, Australia by Mike Midnight and Roza Terenzi; old friends joined by Helsinki’s visionary songstress Maria Korkeila. A trinity of alchemy blossomed into an audio rendition of exquisite corpse, layers of each entity glistening through amongst a united cosmos; trip hop atmospherics and downtempo drippings. 

The five track EP reveals a metamorphosis of nostalgia, a foot in the ever present and daydreams of future. A subconscious deep dive into lustful pop, guided by spine tingling vocal fantasies; textural hallucination, harmonic odes to the golden era underground and a flirtation with drum and bass, tribal percussive freakouts and dream tinged lyrics of desire. 

Pillow talk is a timeless exhibit of esoteric treasures, a portal to a private world of modern enchantment that reveals itself in new ways each listen, music for lovers created by a supergroup of innovators to be digested, shared and cherished.

trickpony - Pillow Talk (STEP11)

Listen to 'Bad Orientation ft. Jules Bonnot (tabache mix) ' by Mrmaked taken from 'Good Morning' out on April 28th via Timeless Records

Mrmaked makes his debut on Timeless Records with an aesthetic "rediscovered" recording, like a fragment of a lost broadcast.

'Bad Orientation' comes from a jam recorded between Mrmaked, Jules Bonnot and tabache at the Lazzaretto Autogestito squat in Bologna. The jam was entirely recorded through an old cassette player because the sound card for the multi-track suddenly stopped working. Also in this track are melodic sequences that Mrmaked had prepared during the T.A.Z. days in June; which were played over the organic rhythms of Jules Bonnot, and then everything was reworked by tabache in post-production.

The E.P. It's characterized by dense, grainy sound textures, and the tape adds that dirty warmth that makes everything more alive and physical. The improvisational, almost ritualistic approach is strong, with vintage synths that move between ethereal atmospheres and marked rhythmic impulses. Mrmaked sound lies between lo-fi ambient, minimal synth and a touch of primitive industrial.

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-rando-arand-fiber-optic-cable

Since its inception, Estonian imprint Liitheli has stood as a magnet for Baltic-bound adventurers of sound, channeling a distinctly off-centre sensibility. Their latest transmission comes from Tallinn-based polymath Rando Arand, whose latest opus ‘Child of the Internet’ feels like a conceptual USB stick plugged into the subconscious of Gen Z’s neural hard drive...Our spotlight turns to ‘Fiber-Optic Cable’, one of the album’s quietly euphoric outliers, a breakbeat meditation slathered in hi-res shimmer and digitised longing. Here, Arand spins a thread between IDM ambient kinetics and post-Myspace bedroom aesthetics. Snare ghosts and pixelated pads swim through a warm synthetic haze, while melodies glitch and refract like reflections in a cracked smartphone screen. It’s a track that captures the flickering intimacy of being online at 3AM, with no one else awake but your browser history and the hum of the router.

Rando Arand - Fiber-Optic Cable [Liitheli]

Welcoming POL100 to Eastern Nurseries, the Italian producer Paolo Maiarelli unveils "Voice From The Little House", a six-track suite of evocative soundscapes that expand on his distinct sense of storytelling.

Told in murmurs, textures, and spectral drift, "Voice From The Little House" conjures a liminal world shaped by dreams, folklore, and the half-seen. POL100’s sonic world feels unearthed rather than composed — layered, brittle, and blurred at the edges, like artifacts from a place where memory and imagination entwine. At once intimate and otherworldly, these pieces hover in a space between presence and disappearance. It's music that seems to breathe through the walls of a house buried in moss and time, its silence thick with memory.

The house speaks.
