What does the future of peace and quiet look like? Is it possible for someone to find serenity in a world where population mushrooms and buildings continuously jockey for the best possible view? With Kael Smith’s (Mombi, Khale) Mute Forest this dichotomy is at the epicenter of his 'Infinity Pools EP' due April 7th via Lost Tribe Sound.

To coincide with visuals courtesy of Gregory Euclide (Bon Iver, Erased Tapes), Smith’s debut EP fuses acoustic sounds, mangled electronics and provocative lyrics across four meditative yet mesmerizing tracks.

Serving as a companion piece to his expansive and sonorous LP, 'Deforestation', due later this year, Smith’s 'Infinity Pools EP' was actually written as a reaction to that material but will be released first.“ 'Deforestation' will in a sense be a prequel to the EP,” explains Smith. “And for listeners who follow along, should provide an interesting reverse narrative,” he concludes.

“Crypt,” the EP’s opener, contains oscillating vinyl-sampled rhythms, chiming electric guitar and gently struck nylon guitar. Following that is the sparce and haunting “Volcanoes Flowing,” which traces a melancholy beat and slow, lovely piano crescendos to its heartbreaking conclusion.

Darker in tone, title track "Infinity Pools" has a commanding presence using ominous electronics and damaged samples of Le Creuset pots being struck. Heavily processed and featuring vocals from Smith’s longtime girlfriend Kelly O’Brien, the track unfurls into a hypnotic groove over the chilling words “You’ll feel like an ember trilling/out in space.”

Washing over the listener to conclude the EP, “Eat the Skin” originally started as an A Winged Victory for the Sullen remix of a song off of their recent LP, 'Atomos'. As the track progressed though, all of the layers performed by AWVFTS were eventually stripped leaving only acoustic guitar and Smith’s voice. “I like to pretend we wrote that song together, hopefully someday they will hear it” desires Smith. He uses the big, cavernous sound of acoustic guitar as base for unhurried, dulcet vocals and airy electronics. “I’ve always loved the big, acoustic sound of Seafood’s “Desert Stretched Before the Sun”“ explains Smith. “I really tried to emulate that deep resonate tone where the acoustic sounds like a tidal wave.”

Kowloon Records is proud to present Erased Tapes' composer/sound designer Ben Lukas Boysen's stunning rework of Tom Adam's poignant "Fade". His shimmering rework makes remarkable use of the song's swelling atmospheres and sparse minimalist instrumentation, building the song up to a riveting crescendo. Originally taken from Adam's 'Voyages By Starlight' EP, Boysen's thoughtful rework breathes new life into the moving, pastoral ballad.

With the music platforms embracing the digital revolution, the "single" is back at the centre of our attention-deficient hyperactive world. And why not embrace the medium which delivers a message in a single story? This past summer, Montreal-based Moderna Records have introduced us to their Single Series, and with it, to a roster of exciting new composers providing a glimpse into their special inner world, wrapped in an exquisite small package of a single. In this exclusive track premiere, we are sharing a piece by a pianist, Adam Daudrich [also from Montreal], who brings classical minimalism, ambience and improvisation into our over-saturated lives. Daudrich's work explores "meditative textures of the muted upright piano, harmonium, and Wurlitzer electric piano, telling intimate stories; adult nursery rhymes, fading music-box songs, jangly grain-delayed piano loops with glitch effects." This piece, titled "Swells" is part of the Fall Single Series, which already kicked off with pieces by Jacob David, Hiroco.M, and now Adam Daudrich, with more to come from Richard Luke and [ahem!] Mike Lazarev. Stay tuned!
