After the emergence of last year's diverse 12 track various artist album, Codonopsis, we are stoked to be back with our second VA release - Rumex. What awaits you this time are another 14 uncompromising tracks from artists based within and beyond Swiss ground - a project that has taken shape quite literally from all over the globe in more ways than one. Musically, it spans wide from ambient to experimental, noise, electro, breaks and techno - inviting you into an introspective, eerie kind of realm without losing the groove that pushes you right back out again. On a personal and collective level, it's been an intense year with a heavy dose of pain and suffering, Rumex leans into this melancholia, journeying between the light and the dark in what can only be explained as a sonic catharsis.

Rumex VA

PREMIERE / 2023 December

It's been 40 years since Michal Turtle released his seminal, ground-breaking album "Music From The Living Room" into the world and promptly disappeared back into the aether.
An extremely obscure cult classic known only to deep diggers and aficionados of the finest order, it wasn't until Music From Memory reissued some of the tracks from it via retrospective compilations of Turtle's unreleased music almost 30 years later that his name become more widely known and a new generation were able to discover the artist's unique and pioneering style of experimental electronic music production, the majority of it very much ahead of its time, and to this day, still timeless.
Invisible Inc contacted Turtle in the summer of 2023 about releasing something else by him and it was during this exchange of emails that ideas were expressed about releasing not simply a straightforward reissue of "Music From The Living Room" to mark its 40th anniversary (the album has never been reissued in full) but rather a re-imagined/re-constructed take on the album bringing contemporary techniques, styles and newly recorded vocal and instrument parts into the mix and breathing new life into these wonderful compositions.
Collaborators old and new were brought into the studio and the songs re-created from the ground up. Familiar songs like "Are You Psychic?" and "Village Voice" get overhauled and echo remnants of their original counterparts but simultaneously sound like completely new tracks. The always mesmerising "Phantoms of Dreamland" is represented through a live recording at Café Oto featuring original album vocalist Lucianne Lasalle and regular collaborator HOVE on electronics. The remaining tracks, however, will be completely new to the ears of most people, never having been reissued or heard in these new forms ever before.
Regardless, whether in some way familiar or not, these hypnotic and repetitive pieces of beautiful sound art, all very different in style from one another, have an entirely new identity that even diehard devotees of the originals will fall in love with.

Same Songs, Different Room

PREMIERE⚡️Michal Turtle - It's A Stop Sign, Shirley! [Invisible Inc.]

A defining time for many musicians pursuing the arts of exploring sonic palettes is the moment of learning a song, an instrument and recording it. The procedure of selection and layering of sounds. The idea of dissolving this mysticism and truly being in control of something. The realisation that there's a lot more enigma coinciding with simplicity in music that you may not have realised before and discovering new journeys from there on in. The knowledge of its technicality brought with a background in contemporary songwriting becomes a quest for  sounds surrounded by layers of storytelling. To establish a sonic aesthetic that represents yourself and what you want to present to the listener.

The recording of Passerella took place at the end of the summer of 2022 over one week of isolation and songwriting in a house on the shoreside of the lake Lugano. Layered with references from a contemporary approach to 80s synth pop, post-punk and dark wave, with subconscious derivations of Canzone Italiana as a foundation for a musical piece derived from Infesta's childhood listening habits. Bare genuineness, emotional and aggressive at the right places, the way in which music captures the purity of intense feelings. Infesta’s work is presented in a raw quality which intimates the listener with an aspect of humanity grippingly relatable.

Cemented songs with a focussed vision, Infesta’s dark yet familiar world is one confused but shared among us all. The conceptuality of a traditional album dissolving into a musical diary. The music within this record is a rendering of the importance of having these songs compiled side-by-side as a way of storytelling. To keep the same picture of the exposure of a person through their music. Conflicting inner thoughts frolicking side by side. A gentle hand caresse gleaned by an author to its listener.

Search & Discover

PREMIERE: Kolter - Search & Discover [Koltrax]

Venture deep into the mystical realm of "The Wailing Woods," where the ancient trees whisper secrets and the ethereal melodies of trance weave a tapestry of enchantment. In this otherworldly compilation, embark on a musical odyssey through the shadows of a forest steeped in magic and mystery.

🍄 As you traverse the winding paths, beware the elusive Faeirelings, mischievous sprites that dance among the luminescent mushrooms, leaving trails of bewilderment in their wake. The air is thick with the pulsating beats of this music, resonating with the heartbeat of the enchanted woods. Allow the athmosphere to guide you, but tread cautiously, for the siren call of the woods our creatures can lead even the most steadfast wanderer astray.

🌿 Amidst the towering trees, ancient guardians known as Sylvan Spirits emerge from the emerald foliage. These majestic beings move in harmony with the pulsating rhythms, their luminous eyes reflecting the kaleidoscopic hues of the psychedelic vibrations. The very air seems to shimmer with energy as you become entangled in the symbiosis of nature and sound.

🔍 Yet, beware the shadows that stir in the depths of the "Wailing Woods." Unseen creatures, drawn to the hypnotic cadence, lurk just beyond the moonlit glades. Will-o'-wisps flicker like spectral lanterns, tempting the adventurous souls to stray into the heart of the unknown.

🎶 "The Wailing Woods" beckons those who seek an immersive auditory experience, where the mystical and the musical coalesce. Unearth the tracks that resonate with the ancient energy of the forest, but remember, in this enchanting realm, the line between reality and fantasy blurs, and one must navigate the bewitching symphony with caution. Let the journey begin, but heed the age-old warning – in the heart of "The Wailing Woods," music is both the key and the riddle. 🔮🌲
