On for paws,
She's walking,
She's quiet,
She's fast,

She's trusting,
Her instincts
And when she loves
That love will last.

She's free,
She's strong,
The woods used to be her home.

In for paws behind me,
A shadow and a friend.

Felix Laband’s The Soft White Hand is the masterwork of an artist who expresses himself through musical and artistic collage acting together to reinterpret his sources and to express significant elements of his own personal story.
Released by Munich-based Compost Records, the 14-track album is Laband’s first full-length offering since the critically acclaimed Deaf Safari in 2015.


In The Soft White Hand Laband works with source materials that will be familiar to those who know his previous four records – Thin Shoes in June (2001), 4/4 Down the Stairs (2002), Dark Days Exit (2005) and especially Deaf Safari which reached deep into the South Africa scene and its political culture to inspire its vocal and music sampling. However, the disengagement he felt from his homeland during his latest album’s creation – an abiding sense of untethered-ness to place and space, exquisitely rendered in tracks like “Death of a Migrant” – is perceptible in Laband’s desire to illuminate instead aspects of his own life.
“For this album, my source material became almost autobiographical as opposed to African statements I’ve worked with previously,” says the artist. “I have sampled a lot from documentaries from the 80s crack epidemic in impoverished African American communities and
believe my work speaks unapologetically for the lost and marginalised, for those who are the forgotten casualties of the war on drugs. In the past, I have had my issues with substance abuse, and I know first-hand about the nightmares and fears, what it feels like to be isolated and abandoned.”

Reflections presents the sixth instalment of their various artist EP series, ‘Reflections 06’, welcoming a new wave of talent to the label.

Following his re-work of Mark Barrott’s ‘Kyoto (京都)’ on Reflections last month, Tokyo-based Lycoriscoris returns to the label to open the EP with a pensive, stripped-back ambient mix of his 2021 Anjunadeep release, ‘Shizumu’.

Followed by a first-time collaboration between Swedish-based musician and visual artist, Amparo, and Montréal-based producer, Lost In City. Their emotive track, ‘Generative’, combines gentle strings with delicate piano lines.

Seoul-based producer, Moon Kyoo, returns after his contribution to Anjunadeep Explorations 19 and stellar 2022 remix of Qrion’s ‘It’s All Over’, to deliver the drone-influenced ’Detached’. Next up, producer Odeon combines elements of downtempo and lo-fi on his ethereal, guitar-led remix of mind&machines’s 2021 Anjunadeep release, ‘You’.

Rounding off the EP is the fourth and final Reflections debutant, Otto Taimela. Hailing from Finland, Otto has described his style of production as “music that sounds like childhood”. Featuring nostalgic field recordings layered beneath whimsical pads, his track, ‘The Prettiest Pearl’, certainly delivers on this tip.

‘Reflections 06’ is out now.

Release date: 28 August 2023
