"Leaning hard into the conceptual thrust of the Distant Signal series, Furtive weaves a sonic narrative of cosmic exploration and calamity. Pulling heavily from all stripes of lost-in-space science fiction plots, this is a non-specific tale of human optimism (or naivete) and intrepid scientific leaps leading to a terrifying confrontation with eldritch cosmic forces and the unraveling of the reality our limited human technology, science, and faith have tried to understand. This is a mix of high-impact “g-force ambient” (in Furtive’s parlance) and introspective atmospheres, a sonic ride for psychedelic explorers and dissociated adventurers, those taking (third) eye-opening sacraments to traverse the vacuum of space, the sands of the desert, the cold of night, and chasms of the heart. 

The sonic arc of this mix begins by conveying the receipt of a distant signal, a message from far within the blackness of the cosmos that suggests an intelligent alien entity is beckoning to us. In our natural human curiosity and hubris, a mission to make contact is undertaken, launching a ship with a team of top scientists, explorers, negotiators, and warriors to investigate, communicate, learn, discover, and perhaps conquer. A journey full of promise, hope, excitement, faith in humanity and our collective achievements and intentions. Their long, plodding interstellar journey encounters treacherous circumstances, leaving nerves on edge and the team rattled as they approach their destination… yet as they come up on their anticipated end point, they are overwhelmed by slack-jawed awe. Initial contact is promising and profound, unnerving but inspiring. The awe and excitement fade, quickly becoming concerning as slinking things get out of hand with spiking anxiety and desperation, an absolute moment of break-glass emergency and panic on the space station. Nothing is as expected and promised - yet fully predestined and predictable - as mysterious, otherworldly eldritch forces alter, predate, inspired, terrorize, and transform - threatening to rend cosmic reality, civilization, the foundations of our minds, knowledge, and reason as we have understood them all. Through the contortions of alien forces and life-threatening calamity, the existential threat abates. A new light shines on this portion of the universe, and a new vision of our place in the world prevails - though not destroyed, nothing is ever the same, and we can look into the cosmos with fresh eyes, of understanding, awe, fear, and faith, and beauty, rinsed clean by a narrow brush with annihilation.

…or something like that."

Somewhere Press is a Glasgow-based record label that embodies the emotive, narrative-led spaces in sound work, uplifting outsider voices and queering notions of experimental music and print. 

This mix explores the discrepant sounds of dream states.
Ethereal choral vocals are entangled with distorted and disturbed voices and a drifting psychedelic ambience is broken apart by rumbling atmospheres of industrial.
As layers break apart, raw and resonant drones float beneath the surface; an opiated, eternal delirium.
