Changeless

"You cannot put your foot in the same river twice. Once ᴇʀᴏꜱɪᴏɴ ᴛʀᴀᴄᴇ begins, the listener is quick to draw comparison to previous Glyn Maier releases, as in ɪɴᴅᴇꜰɪɴɪᴛᴇ ʟᴀᴛᴛɪᴄᴇꜱ or the B-Side from the Jungle Gym release ʜʟɪɴᴄ. Instead, what happens is the truest descriptor of a “departure” in style and pacing.

Going back into the deeper catalog of Maier’s work you would likely cross influences of dub techno in the clicking and delaying bass tones, with sharp field recording rustling and chirps that create a fecund listening ecosphere.

This new album instead changes the pace to a glacial presentation, starting with a dark and sleek motif, generously pouring into rhythm and more subdued field recordings of the Appalachian wilderness. It almost seems like an album showcasing Maier’s ability to listen as much as it is his ability to produce. The finishing work with synth and string sections is a sublime reminder of his deft and capable craft in sound. We may not stand in the same water as before, but the river has the same name."

Fortude

D!ANA always moves me but this time it’s inward. Contemplation is also a dance. Reflection is a murkier pool. Looking at and in and back and up—we’re facing something. Perhaps the huge spiral down which we’ve tumbled and now must claw back up. Perhaps a great cloud of garbled messages stuck on loop, on a broken machine (the mind is a broken machine, and thus a perfect one). 

Feels desolate when any answer is, in an instant, undone by another. When water tastes like metal questions clang through hard pipes. Like, how to move forward when stuck in the mud of perpetual regret? Wonder. Am I moving forward or circling some far off conclusion? Delineation. What space is there, suspended here: a tear for bliss, a haunting.

"You ascend the walls you made, oh time it takes to make amends."

‘And Now You Stand Before The Sun’ is a culmination, a closing chapter of the journey that began with 2022’s ‘Like The Reformed’ and succeeded by last year’s ‘Oath (Soon The Storm Will Pass, And We Will Fly Again)’. The record sees Paavo Piekkari and Jonathan Engeldahl fleshing out the microcosm they call Hollowland, resulting in their most mature and fully realised work to date. Beyond the rapturous sonics, there is a deep melancholy woven into the very essence of Hollowland that is present through it all.

At its core the record is about the hope that anguish and sorrow will lead to something beautiful and pure, persistance shed of the often glorified scaly skin of martyrdom. Notions of departing from oneself, to be reborn and catch a glimpse of the coveted silver lining, are explored on tracks such as ‘Ov Your Own Image’, ‘Falls’ and ‘As You Stand Beneath It, The Light Burns Brighter Than Before’. On ‘In Open Arms’ and Purest Form’ the endless cycle reaches its inevitable conclusion of incarnation, chronicling the very moments of becoming. Consider it a sign of stillness, at least for now.

The passing storm won’t be the last, yet we embrace the fleeting moment of light beyond the clouds, using it to release all within.

Exploited Body - Helix / Unravel

Exploited Body takes it back to the club with their latest two-track offering 'Helix / Unravel' - a pairing, that meshes the intensity you've come to expect, with newfound high-speed break experimentations.

'Helix' is a spiralling fever dream, with drums of tungsten skitter through the blaring sirens and posessed screeches, showing no signs of slowing down. 'Unravel' is deliverance, release. Incorporeal voices echo through the cracks of the ferocious drums, eventually submitting to the soaring, euphoric synths signalling the escape from the cycle.

’Helix / Unravel’ is out now via Changeless!

Exploited Body -  Helix

111X ‘Urge’

111X, the elusive prince of noise, returns to Changeless with his latest offering ‘Urge’.

Picking up where ’Shame’ left off, ‘Urge’ depicts the shift from collapse to confrontation, driven by the restless push-and-pull of one’s inner fire and crushing powerlessness. Compulsive resistance in the face of our inevitable fallibility. An ouroboros corporeal battle between necessity and yielding, vigour and weakness, progress and decay.

‘Urge’ is a reinvention of 111X’s signature harsh sonics, meshing it with brooding apocalyptic guitars and ephemeral fragile tranquility, with a familiar relentless weaving pulse at it’s core that’s all the more brutal with each return. The EP opens with ‘Avenge’, where the veil of monumental thrashing of fragmented rhythms slips for a brief moment that’s just long enough to catch a glimpse of the hurt behind it all. ‘Fragments Held Together By Pressure (Forgive)’ slows everything down to a halt, while soft melodies bleed through the noise like a memory echoing as it fades away, becoming more indistinct with every moment.

The EP’s turning point ‘Serrated Edge’ presents us with a completely new side of 111X; a meditative lullaby with bursts of noise that emerge throughout the track, meticulously designed to remain uneasy even in the softest moments. ‘Hunger / Wilt’ closes the record with it’s pounding drums and piercing feedback, before melting into a stunningly beautiful coda leaving us with more hope than when we had diving into ‘Urge’.

'Urge' will be released May 23rd via Changeless.

The brainchild of Helsinki-based experimentalist Nori Kin, Exploited Body is an audial paradox – where blistering distortion collides with delicate melody, and ethereal vocals oscillate between angelic lament and demonic invocation. Their music is a visceral experience, at once hypnotic and harrowing, luring listeners into a world of staggering emotional weight and sonic extremity.  

With releases on PAN, Posh Isolation, Northern Electronics, and their own imprint Changeless, Kin has steadily carved out a distinct presence in the contemporary experimental landscape. Their compositions stretch the boundaries of electronic music, fusing industrial abrasion, haunting atmospherics, and deeply personal narratives into something both intimate and overwhelming.
