WL//WH is very pleased to premiere the jazz-tinged, glitchy atmospheric downtempo track, "UUDDLR," from the forthcoming self-titled debut album by the British experimental electronic duo Sarno Ultra via Glasgow-based independent label  Bricolage (@bricolage-g5).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Sarno Ultra” opens up a new musical chapter in the lives of Jon Worsley and Kayla Painter (@misskaylapainter). Known for both their own solo material and their collaborative work in Jilk (@jilk), these two underground stalwarts have come together for something entirely different on this new project.

Prepare for a sense altering trip that creates and traverses through a futuristic audio landscape and leaves no surface untouched.

Fractured vocals, intricate cascading rhythms, collapsing mechanical structures and pulsing textures carry the weight as we shift between moods and tempos with open eyes and ears.

There’s blasts of high energy percussion and glitch laden sound design that effortlessly mesh with the more melancholic sounds and brittle bliss that partners them. It’s an album that never sits still. Even in its quieter and warmer moments, “Sarno Ultra”, always keeps us guessing which exploratory path we’re headed down next.

“Sarno Ultra” is a debut album that drags you into a sonic whirlpool but embraces you while you’re there. Enjoy the experience.

The latest @fragilex album brings new meaning to the term “labour of love”. It’s an album that’s been in the works for quite some time. The album is inspired by a long term obsession with fractals and their never ending possibilities.

The original production process on the “Curves and Calculus” album began back in 2018 and in the 7 years since its original inception it has morphed and splintered in many directions to allow all the parts of the puzzle to fall into place.

The finished article is a musical maze, brimming with all manner of corridors and pathways to explore. Pulling in inspirations from every angle of the electronic spectrum and integrating them into a mesmerising journey full of colour, serenity and warmth.

We enter and end the trip in an ambient mood but along the way there’s a nod to the psychedelic aspect that is so often associated with fractals, when we take on a trippier tone as the tracks burst into life through twists of intricate drums and flashes of glowing energy and shifts in motion. Mirroring the boundless nature and expansion of infinity.

All the shapes we experience come lined with effervescent melodies, glitchy sonic backdrops, glassy textures and a constant propulsive motion. Always kinetic, looking for the next move, like the fractal.

“Curves and Calculus” is an audio landscape that is constantly evolving. No real beginning, no real end. A symphony of infinite equations.

There are a few collaborations that work really well. And, when something works well, why not double down? Two years ago [I almost said last November], Markus Guentner and Joachim Spieth came together for a full-length release on Spieth's own Affin imprint. This was more than just their initial conversation, which appeared on Kompakt's Pop Ambient's 2022 installment. Overlay was full of lush texture and ambience, which gently tickled the sensitive nerve endings in my ear canal, leaving my brain to decipher the signals into analgesic pleasantries. This year, the duo returns with a follow-up full-length release, delving deeper into atmospheric soundscapes, punctuating them with a dub-inspired heart-pounding beat. Fans of hypnotic, kaleidoscopic, and sonically rich environments will surely want to lose themselves in the caverns of this all-encompassing sound. If you are a fan [as much as I am] of their solo works, you will find that here, together, the multiplier is higher. They're truly at the top of their art here, so let's put on a heavy ADS for a fully submersible voyage. A subwoofer is recommended. 

TRACK PREMIERE : Guentner + Spieth - Chrysalis

X" marks the spot and "X" marks the years.
