Lyrics:
I stopped looking for answers in all of the wrong places
They once looked so inviting to me
I stopped wishing that you'd see my value as a person
I don't need anyone to set me free

It's a hard truth, getting older
All these knives stuck in our shoulders
It's a hard truth, to have loved you
Left me with more pain to undo

If I shed a tear it won't be for you
It will be for the person I used to be
Before you took them away from me
When I went looking for answers

When I close my eyes I feel your lies
And I can see that it was never meant to be
All you ever did was hurt me
So I went looking for answers

Oh, if there was an acting award
For acting like you care 'til you're bored
You'd win it while I'd die by your sword

And oh, if it isn't shiny and new
Then it's disposable to you
You bite the hand that feeds then you chew

If I shed a tear it won't be for you
It will be for the person I used to be
Before you took them away from me
When I went looking for answers

When I close my eyes I feel your lies
And I can see that it was never meant to be
All you ever did was hurt me
So I went looking for answers

I don't forgive you
I never have to
I don't forgive you
I never have to

I don't forgive you
I never have to
I don't forgive you
I never have to
 
I don't forgive you
I never have to
I don't forgive you
I never have to

I don't forgive you
I never have to
I don't forgive you
I never have to

Opening Scene

Heith - X, wheel
Label: PAN
Cat.No. PAN 119 
Format: LP / DL
Release Date: 07 October 2022
Purchase: https://pan.lnk.to/Xwheel

Heith’s devout interest in the notion of reality started long before he recorded his latest album. The Italian musician, producer and artist probed the spiritual aspects of sound and its cosmogonic potential already in his previous works released on his own Haunter Records label.
Exploring the textures of consciousness through research into the ritual animism, he kept an omnivorous and universalist approach to cultural and sonic influence. This is central to X, wheel, Heith’s debut album and first release on PAN. It’s a deep dive into his creative and spiritual practice, one where art and life are inextricable.

Written and recorded across different studios in Milan, Rome and Florence between March, 2019, and January, 2020, eleven tracks cycle through a world of stylistic references—from psychedelia, psytrance and freak folk to stoner metal, noise and early electronic music—while remaining firmly a part of a singular vision.

Album opener “Letter 4” staggers along collaborator Leonardo Rubboli’s winding guitar melody, while second track “Dero” cycles into layers of assorted sine wave lines and tonal systems outside of the Western diatonic scales. X, wheel sits calmly at the centre of its own vortex of dissonance and diversity, moving through a spectrum of ideas, moods, and emotional states with uncanny ease. A glimpse of contributor Jesse Osborne- Lanthier’s synth melody briefly surfaces from a cacophonous flood of reverb and distortion on “Stoned Witch”. Aase Nielsen’s lonely saxophone wanders around the nostalgic hypnagogic noir of “Ensemble For Somnambulists”.

Heith draws together an array of philosophies and fictions together into a sonic tableau that exists outside of linear time. As the titular wheel spins, it does not bring about repetition, rather constant change and movement, spiralling into infinity.

The hypnotic nature of the release is translated in the album’s liner notes. It’s a collage of sorts, constructed from Heith’s own diary entries using the non-phonetic alphabet and linguistic experiment called “Angel’s Hair” developed with artist Pietro Agostoni. Together with contributions from ZU drummer Jacopo Battaglia and didgeridoo player Fabio Goldaniga, X, wheel is an exercise in creating new forms of meaning through sound, turning spectral vibration into conscious awareness.

On Your Own Love Again

Montalvo - Colle [TRU008]

New York, NY – Colle, the creative alias of experimental musician Maya McGrory, debuts her solo album 'Montalvo' on urtruimage.

Inspired by her childhood memories of Montalvo Rd., this compelling collection of songs offers a profound exploration of McGrory's past, and presents a narrative of multiple lives lived at once. The contrasting landscapes of her life provide a backdrop for her music, allowing her to find solace in the innocence and simplicity of childhood. Emphasising the ephemeral nature of life, she embraces a flow that reflects the worries of her past and the allure of even the harshest conditions.

Her album invites listeners into immersive emotional landscapes; characterised by expansive glacial synths and strings, while trip-hop and shoegaze-inspired beats push her music into an experimental realm of electronic indie-rock, all enhanced by her sincere and captivating vocal delivery.

What began as a return to a specific time in her life evolved into a journey back to traditional songwriting, reimagined into an experimental vision during the production of Montalvo. For Colle, the process is less about distance and more about rediscovery—reclaiming the innocence and wonder that continue to influence her today.
