Of Shadow And Substance (Excerpt)

A year and a half has passed since Slovak-Hungarian artist Adela Mede self-released her debut album ‘Szabadság’. Its liner notes described it as “a navigation”, a search through “the personal, familial, cultural, folkloric and geographic of her past and present.” Her second album, ‘Ne Lépj a Virágra’ no longer searches; here, she puts down roots and delves deeper into the earthy reality of her home, Central Europe. Mede sings in three languages with newfound conviction and grace – this is an album of profound faith and confidence in the potential of this fertile soil.

Ne Lépj a Virágra

Adela Mede - Nestoj Nado Mnou (ft. Wojciech Rusin)

Silhouettes above rubbles
Tuming into pillars
Monotonous mannequins
Walk away with stamps

Grains of a copy, of a shade
Cloning fragments of tedium
Clustered roots, source-clumsy
Growing into visage

Mumbled echoes from the mist, through the tunnels of revival. The graininess interplay with a subdued mellifluence. A haze of longing sighs and reverberations - threshold between the lane, where distant voices yield to light.   

Night Foundation, the electronic solo project of visual/sound artist Richard Vergez and the founder of the label - Noir Age, explores existential soundscapes, utilizing analogue hardware including vintage synthesizers, found percussion, tape effects, and manipulated wind instruments. 'Change Your Mind' holds the resilience and heralds the breath of new horizon.

TENHORNEDBEAST 'Capra Hircus' CD

The wild goats (Capra Hircus) of the Cheviot hills have lived there for millennia and are the Avatars of the wild places. If there is a heathenry left on this island, it is to be found the places where the wild goats gather, in the secret valleys and alongside nameless burns. They are the Children of Pan in an Arcadia that straddles both the imagination and the real world.

This is TenHornedBeast intentionally moving in a different direction from the cryptic doom-ambient of 2022's "The Lamp Of No Light". "Capra Hircus" is full of the glowing sunrise of hill-top psychedelia and shimmering, spiralling  drones that mimic the abstract lines of the rock-art panels that mark the landscape. The music flows outwards and immerses the listener in looping, hypnotic waves of feedback. 

"I dream in landscapes and this is very much an "outdoor" album. When I was recording these pieces I was hoping to capture the openness and sense of wonder that I get from the high places. I've walked these hills for many years, where earth and sky meet and I was searching for a new way to be TenHornedBeast, although it's very much the same ideas that inspired me twenty years ago – just seen in colour".

CD in 6-panel flood-printed matt digipak with photographs taken by Christopher Walton on the High Places of Pennine Horeb. Out 4th JUNE 2024.
