XIN LIE - PANEN (Laenz Remix) (DDR004)

comicsansrecords.bandcamp.com/album/sal-y-sangre

From high above, atop the highest peak of the tallest mountain, grows a shrieking plant that the locals call Malesa, a spanish word that means “weeds”, if we allow ourselves a slight adjustment in spelling. But far from being an undesirable growth, the duo formed by Paola Avilés and Eloi Petillon represents a promise we wish to see flourish in all its glory.

Between epic drone, enchanting trip-hop ballads, and club tracks written under the moonlight, they release a hybrid and elusive debut album that still remains accessible to all. "Sal y sangre" (Salt and Blood): two alchemical ingredients mirroring love and madness; two crucial elements for crafting a fantastical world, where stone giants, snake tongues, mad dogs and unfaithful feathers meet at the crossroads. Thus, a symbiotic relationship between fantasy and reality rise up and transmute in the music itself, in which digital sound design techniques cohabits with field recordings and acoustic instruments from the tangible world.

With a sense of poetry and esotericism, Malesa unveils a magical chiaroscuro work, spelling invitations to dance and invocation rituals which seamlessly succeed each other in a strange coherence. Bewitching anyone who dared to pull it out, the weed definitely takes root for good and will soon be ready to whisper its magic to the clouds…

traverse is very honored to unveil Berlin-based artist Prieste5s’s first EP on traverse, « Enchantress ».

Her music made its way through various platforms and labels, from Pino Peña’s W133 to Kangding Ray’s ARA and has always had a special place in our ears. Prieste5s’s workflow and research for organic sounds, paired with the minimalism of her production, brings a new depth and drive to her music. From Willow to 10,000 Lux she depicts a powerful landscape full of percs and toms that will get to your mind and feet.

Through Enchantress Prieste5s showcases her love for bass, percussion and hypnotic sounds, building a deep atmosphere and minimalist groove throughout the four tracks.

Prieste5s:
« Thematically, I take a lot of influences from the natural world, geology, and spirituality. Having studied evolutionary biology previously, I have a fascination for all things relating to natural-history. And as a somewhat spiritual person, I also enjoy exploring through my music the idea of one’s personal connection to the earth. I really like to play with the juxtaposition of technology and nature, both in the process as well as the materials I use. For me, it’s a way of showing that we should still seek harmony with nature even amid the chaos of the modern world. I feel like a big theme in my music is the ephemerality of the natural world and how we as participants of that experience can find ways to connect in a magical, childlike sort of way. »

OS004 - Big Hands - Lakamha

In the old city of Lakamha ancient tombs stand tall and ruined, woven with moss. Birds as old as time beat their wings over tropical forests; their cries bouncing off wet rock lassoed with carvings of Mayan symbols.
