Hundebiss - 9th February 2018

In the face of devastating violence, how are you responding?
I think deeply about the moment we’re in and am searching for a response that’s not blatant or overt, but more-so inviting the listener to contemplate their own mindset.
The music here is an expression, my response to surviving these traumatic, unpredictable times. Most of the new sounds came out of the experience of living in Berlin and traveling around Europe. 
As a black African existing and moving in predominantly white spaces, you are under continuous scrutiny and harassment. 
White supremacy and racism have a certain gradation of intimate terrorism, and the darker your skin the more endangered you are.
"Brâncuși sculpting Beyoncé in gold lamé" is a line from Mike Ladd’s song “Blonde Negress” from the album Negrophilia. 
The album was inspired by Petrine Archer-Straw’s book of the same name (with the subtitle “Avant-Garde Paris and Black Culture in the 1920s”). 
The book explores the Paris art world's embrace of black American and African culture — and its co- option of black art and culture, which played heavily into Art Deco, Cubism, jazz, etc. 
I read the book some years back, but I love how Mike Ladd warps it, drawing a long line between Beyonce and Brancusi, whose Sleeping Muse was inspired by African masks.

The name of the artist is: LAMIN FOFANA
and the record is called: BRANCUSI SCULPTING BEYONCE
and will be released by Hundebiss Records in July 2018

Lamin Fofana is an electronic producer and artist. His instrumental electronic music contrasts the reality of our world with what's beyond and explores questions of movement, migration, alienation, and belonging. He is from Sierra Leone, lived in Guinea, United States, and currently located in Berlin.

About 'Too Numb to Know' (out 9/25) by Profligate

'Too Numb to Know' showcases Profligate continuing to shirk the heavy electronics of his early years for razor sharp pop. On 2018's 'Somewhere Else,' Noah Anthony delivered dark pop gems while adding live instrumentations, reinvigorating his songwriting and sonic palette. This new song-driven approach gained praise from Resident Advisor, Pitchfork, Bandcamp Daily and The Wire, exposing Profligate to new listeners.

'Too Numb to Know' followed Anthony from coast to coast, as he recorded his first demos in Philadelphia and then moved to Los Angeles, a city he found creatively challenging and emotionally depleting. After the theft of his computer—and with it the work he'd done on 'TNTK' in L.A.—Anthony took a friend's suggestion and moved to Cleveland, Ohio, where he finished the album and added contributions from allies like Matchess, Lazy Magnet, Gel Set, and Missions, among others.

'TNTK' is about growth, reflection and change. Lead single "Hang Up" urges the artist’s younger self to trust his instincts during chaos. Its message pairs with bright keyboards, a pulsing beat, and soft, alluring vocals - on the chorus, he croons "Nothing you create but love penetrates." It's an urgent, driving pop song that fuses electronics with guitar and bass like the best of alternative radio. Guitar is prevalent on 'TNTK,' building on the live bass of 'Somewhere Else,' adding a new arrow to Anthony’s quiver, creating more space for melody, and using it to fill the room.

"A Little Rain" and "My Days" feature evocative melodic and textural beauty. Laura Callier of Gel Set adds graceful shimmering vocals to “A Little Rain” that wash the song in nostalgia, while the latter song’s weave of mostly acoustic instruments (certainly a first for Profligate) is unexpected and welcome. Softer moments like these are interspersed throughout 'TNTK' between kinetic numbers like "No Clear Way," while "We Can Punish" and “A Stranger” are reminiscent of his noisier, beat-oriented years. This varied approach and attention to detail are the garnish to an already tight song cycle that will satisfy hardcore fans of Noah Anthony's output and newcomers, alike.

About Profligate

Noah Anthony’s music ranges from heavily rhythmic electronics to tightly-composed songs. His debut LP Come Follow Me, was released in 2012 on More Records and a string of 12” EP’s and compilation appearances followed. 2014’s Finding the Floor was issued by Not Not Fun. 2018's 'Somewhere Else' was Profligate's first for Wharf Cat Records and was supported with U.S. touring and an appearance at SXSW 2018. The follow up, 'Too Numb to Know' will be released on 9/25.

"Thoom’s 9-track debut album, Pork, is a reflection on four tumultuous years of transition and rediscovery, and was written across Beirut, Chicago and Berlin, three cities representing her ancestral home, the site of her musical awakening, and a new hope for her future.

In keeping with the constant shapeshifting of the Thoom project, Pork is a departure from her previous releases, replacing breakneck rhythms with abstract electronics, murky atmospheres and a drive towards introspection."
