King Midas Sound have returned! 
Reverting to the original duo of Roger Robinson and Kevin Martin, ’Solitude’ is their first release since the Fennesz collaboration ‘Edition1’(Ninja Tune), which dropped in 2015. 

Solitude is a meditation on loss. A loss that has been enforced and unexpected. It’s about processing the irrational and incessant feelings of rejection and loneliness, like listening to the tenderness of love disappear and it being replaced by skewed logic. Kevin Martin provides a predominantly beatless musical backdrop, simultaneously minimal and menacing, but periodically extremely beautiful. It stalks the isolated characters created by Robinson’s haunting vocals, as the poet shapes, the protagonists troubled lives into increasingly desolate narratives. 

For the artwork, the pair has here collaborated with Japanese contemporary photographer Daisuke Yokota. His mastery of monochrome tone and texture perfectly matches the word/sound power of KMS, mirroring the same obsession with atmosphere, density, and finish. 

A soundtrack of pure melancholy which demands total immersion, radiating desolation and dread. The appeal of Solitude is in the oppositional binaries it drives on: technology and emotion, talk and drones, overt and hidden feelings, love and melancholy. Immerse yourself in its mourning.

This is a mixed down composite version of Browser Music 4.

The individual parts and instructions for playing them are as follows:

Open each link below in its own web browser tab or window and press play on each. The four parts are meant to play at the same time but don’t have to start together. You can stop / re-start individual parts and change their respective volumes as you wish. Like the components of a mobile sculpture, each part can be considered on its own or in any combination.

Part One:
youtu.be/4fE2awB7_d0

Part Two:
youtu.be/kT9ZastGvqE

Part Three:
youtu.be/Hzd_ydrGCqE

Part Four:
youtu.be/EpPkit3i8Vg


This is music without development, where nothing much happens (or rather: the happening is evenly distributed throughout). This is also quiet music – perfect for playing in the background on your web browser while you are doing something else on your computer. You can even listen to other music / watch other videos / make Zoom calls, etc. while playing Browser Music in the background.

"The disaster is the time when one can no longer - by desire, ruse or violence - risk the life which one seeks, through this risk, to prolong. It is the time when the negative falls silent and when in place of men comes the infinite calm which does not embody itself or make itself intelligible."
M. Blanchot, The Writing of Disaster
