Meanwhile

Geotic - Beaming Husband

The Summoner comes 4 years since the last Kreng album Grimoire and 3 years since the massive retrospective box set Works for Abattoir Férme 2007-2011. A lot has happened in between, and this new recording can be seen as quite the departure from the aformentioned. 

His most personal album to date, The Summoner is based around the 5 stages of mourning and is made after a year of losing several close friends. Hard enough material to work on, he decided to add a 6th stage, entitled The Summoning to be able to arrive at the finalé, Acceptance. 

Conjuring up the spirit of György Ligeti, the first half of the album is made entirely of 12 string players being directed to play around, make noisey clusters and crescendoes, moving you between Denial, Anger, Bargaining and Depression. In fact, The Summoner is the first Kreng album NOT made by hordes of samples. Music to really dig deep in to. 

Following into the second part of the album, twists and turns are taken and it's hard to know where exactly you are. The Summoning's haunting organs and smoke-filled chambers lead you in to an earth- shaking wall of guitars, drums and bass courtesy of Belgian doom band Amenra. Leaving you in a state of shock, the album closes in an incredibly heartfelt and quiet way with the fittingly named Acceptance.

The craft spells remix 12” shows two extremes. The Whatever/Whatever remix is lush, dense and full of texture. Simonetti's approach is a more unorthodox, minimal, loop heavy affair, adding hints of melody in unexpected places - tying it all together in the end...

Whatever/Whatever is the duo of Justin Strauss & Bryan Mette who've remixed the likes of LCD Soundsystem, Woolfy and Yacht at the height of the indie dance scene around the start of this decade and are now breathing new life into the project with recent remixes for Inflagranti, Pollyester, Stephan Eicher and Cantoma.

Mike Simonetti is head honcho of 2MR, has been DJing for 20 years and has recently acquired production notoriety for his breathtaking emo-techno duo Pale Blue and his sold out solo 12" Bossa Nova Civic Club Bootleg.

A. Craft Spells - If I Could (Whatever Whatever Remix)

Artist: Tangents
Title: Terracotta
Album: New Bodies
Release Date: June 15, 2018

After an eventful year of touring throughout their native Australia – including runs with labelmates MONO and like- minded pioneers Tortoise – and featuring alongside the work of artist David Hockney at the National Gallery of Victoria, post-everything quintet Tangents return with another album, and another stylistic detour. New Bodies continues Tangents’ rummage through countless varieties of electronics, rock, dub, noise, and free improv jazz that defines the group’s acclaimed aesthetic. A spacious, plucked cello gives way to a minimalist breakbeat tableau resting over rhythmic prepared piano; a staid electronic groove is gradually absorbed into washes of frenzied improv; staccato synths are woven into tumbling avant-rock; and shimmering free drums phase over static loops of piano, guitar and cello. To quote FACT Magazine, “The quintet are so comfortable working with jazz, folk music, post-rock and electronic music that it comfortably hangs in a space between them all.” On New Bodies, that description rings more intuitive and authentic than ever.
