Bjarki Runar Sigurðarson returns to the concept album format, with ‘A Guide To Hellthier Lifestyle’. It’s the first LP to be released on Differance, which he co-founded with the artist Thomas Harrington Rawle.

‘A Guide To Hellthier Lifestyle’ explores the psychological landscape of contemporary social issues, offering a sideways rumination on lifestyle dilemmas and wellness obsessions, presenting itself as a response to the modern condition. It combines storytelling with innovative sound textures – encouraging listeners to pause and contemplate the absurdities of contemporary life. Neither a critique nor an endorsement, it represents an honest exploration of our world through Bjarki’s sonic lens, gleaming a heart of darkness, but eventually finding light.

The album utilises hyper-stereo techniques, soothing melodies, complex audio structures, AI-generated voices and sampled vocals – influenced by Coil, Genesis P- Orridge, and Paul Lansky. Bjarki investigates how specific frequencies can impact consciousness, awareness, mood, and mental state, thereby influencing our perception of reality. His vaporous sound design provides a listening experience that bridges the physical and imaginative realms; sometimes placing the listener in contemplative sanctuary, and at others making them lost – somewhere strange, uneasy, disconnected.

PREMIERE: Oculus - Lethe (Original Mix)

Support here: https://herenthere.bandcamp.com/album/pink-concrete-jazz-sultan-hnt003

The third chapter of hereandthere vinyl series, Jazz Sultan [HNT003], comes from Pink Concrete.

This full EP is dedicated to Frederick Bruce Thomas (1872—1928), often called the Jazz Sultan. Born in Mississippi, Thomas overcame the hardships of post-slavery America and personal tragedy to build an extraordinary life through jazz — from France to Moscow, where he became the first Black Russian citizen, and later to Istanbul, earning his legendary title. The EP honors both his triumphs and struggles, celebrating his role as a pioneer who bridged cultures and left a lasting mark on the European music scene of his time.

A veil of rust to cloud her thoughts.
Eāni the child, the orphan god.
It was her gentle touch, they say,
that bears the blossom of mother's prey.

The site of Itzá, in a state of decay,
her faithful whispered night and day...
believed by us, she’d bring salvation
to weary folk in ruined nations.

Now dust remains, and memory cracks...
And all that's left… her artifacts.
