Cousin - Second Message (Clips)

'Go On' is the first single from A.S.O, a duo comprised of singer/songwriter Alia Seror-O'Neill and music producer Lewie Day.

Day is better known as Tornado Wallace. Under this name, he takes on dance music's tropes and elevates them to heightened emotional states. There is a deft lightness of touch, serious musical chops, and a slight knowing wink to his work. Here, with fellow Australian/Berlin export Seror-O'Neill aka Alias Error, we're swimming in the deeper end of the same pool. Taking a step away from the dancefloor and crafting exquisite end-times pop music with one eye on the past. The mood is less upbeat and more intimate and reflective.

Let's not knit boots for snails here; the primary reference is trip-hop. But don't fear; this is not insipid coffee shop landfill. On the contrary, it has proper emotional heft and maturity. Over its three-minute run time, 'Go On' draws you completely into its world. It manages to be both ethereal and heavy, structurally unconventional without forgoing killer hooks. And O'Neill's voice comes sweet with a side-order of menace. The pair remember that the best tunes never let you get too comfortable. Sure, it has a 'chill out' hue, and you can imagine hearing it alongside those familiar sunset signifiers. But there's something deeper and darker below the surface.

'Go On' seems to exist in a liminal moment where languidness meets exhaustion. That indefinable instant when a high ends and the paranoia is in the post. It's a pretty song for sure, but it has teeth.

A breath of fresh air for Animalia, as the label floats into its next release with a breezy, house tinged EP, tinged with the scent of summer and euphoria.

Emerging new local Melbourne/ Naarm producer Billus reveals his knack for groove and percussive eloquence in Shifting Sands, with four lighthearted, spaced out tracks transporting you straight to a lakeside in Portugal... or to your very own chosen space of zen.

Montreal’s sapphic mixxtress, the elusive mogul Maara, unveils her debut full length LP via Step Ball Chain. A pairing written in the stars, with twelve dynamically diverse and emotive soundscapes of downtempo bliss, spine-chilling drum and bass and elevated electronica - timeless anthems for sonic indulgence and reflection. Take a deep dive into the sensually charged inner workings of the already prolific producer’s mind. 

An effervescent atmosphere envelopes it’s way through the records entirety, whether it be gloriously lush pads, melancholic words and whispers from her own lips or subterrantian bass. Maara’s world of sound showcases the wild spectrum of emotion, the empathetic passion of joy in Awaken, Plum Plum and Sapphic Rehabilitation Centre alongside the darkness of Insidious Force or Rough ‘N’ Ready. But like most things, the purest beauty can be found within the grey areas, where majority of this records lies. A powerful ebb and flow between cloudy twilight and it’s recurring silver lining, Nothing Sacred wraps you around it’s finger whilst Erotics Of Betrayal pulls you in unexpected directions sure to conjure feelings you didn’t know existed.  

A masterfully united album from start to finish, each listen unveils endless intricacy, delicately and deliciously revealing the potent DNA of Maara.

**fractured whispers**

in the hollow of my chest a city sprawls its concrete tendrils snaking through my ribcage a metropolis of murmurs where skyscrapers of sighs pierce the sky

memory's cartographer maps the topography of my skin etching valleys of longing and mountains of regret the contours of my face a palimpsest of forgotten kisses

in the museum of my mind exhibits of shattered dreams gather dust relics of what could have been suspended in the amber of almost the echoes of maybes haunting the corridors of my skull

the grammar of my soul is a syntax of silences the punctuation of my heart a Morse code of longing dots and dashes of desire transmitted into the void

**disintegrating narratives**

i am a book with torn pages the story of my life a jigsaw puzzle with missing pieces the chronology of my existence a Möbius strip of fragmented memories

each sentence a threadbare bridge spanning the chasm between reality and fantasy the narrative of my self a tapestry of frayed threads

in the library of my mind tomes of forgotten knowledge gather dust the Dewey Decimal System of my thoughts a labyrinth of misfiled memories

the plot of my life a choose-your-own-adventure novel with no clear ending the protagonist a cipher searching for a narrative that never was

**echoes of the unsaid**

in the silence between words a world of meaning resides the unspoken a cartography of the invisible the topography of the unseen

the language of my heart a dialect of whispers the vocabulary of my soul a lexicon of sighs

in the margins of my mind a commentary of what could have been written the footnotes of my existence a litany of almosts

the poetry of my life a series of erasures the beauty of my soul a palimpsest of what remains unsaid






**dis/integrations**

[ silence ]

a city of echoes sprawls across my skin
tectonic plates of memory shifting
 fault lines of forgetting

[ whitespace ]

in the museum of my mind
exhibits of shattered thought
relics of what could have been
 suspended in the amber of almost
