Happa and Jabes  were back with another isntalment of 'Then Is Always'. About the show they said: "This month's show is a bit of a conceptual unpacking of the word Borborygmus and uses New Age and sci-fi conventions to look at parallels between sounds from inside our bodies and sounds from our wider environment.

Taken from GEORGIA (@georgiasounds) new album State Effect (Accel), out April 16, 2021, via OOH-sounds

Pre-order: bit.ly/3tacvvv

GEORGIA’s new kaleidoscopic hyper-music-entity “State Effect (Accel)” expands the LA-NY duo’s project in a high-dimensional phase space—and does so within their all-kind-music frame.

State Effect (Accel) is happening this very moment, it is a positive cry for change—a brilliant plan.

This record is “viscous” — whatever I do, wherever I am, it sort of “sticks” to me.

It is “nonlocal” — its ‘accelerated’ effects are globally distributed through a huge tract of time. It forces me to experience time in an unusual way.

It is “phased” — I only experience pieces of it at any one time.

It is “inter-objective” — it consists of all kinds of other/multiple entities but it is not reducible to the sum of its parts.

This music reveals the present and its psychic dimension, no titles could have been more relevant.

Justin Tripp and Brian Close’s new kaleidoscopic hyper-music-entity expands their GEORGIA project in a high-dimensional phase space. A great work of cognitive music mapping that plots all the states of a system — Lovely bubbly HTML.

The eight tracker long playing make extensive use of the vocal participation of Paris/Berlin-based artist/DJ MARYLOU aka OISEAU DANSEUR and Gabi Asfour of visionary NY fashion collective threeASFOUR.

"At once fine-grained and expansive, Lee’s work combines traditional Chinese music and historical references with wild electronic experimentation" 
7.6 in PITCHFORK 
"Birdy Island is Lee's most organic work" RESIDENT ADVISOR

Swirling layers of OST-style sound design, dreamy choir vocals and traditional Chinese folk combine across eight dynamic and transportive tracks on Birdy Island, the latest album by Beijing-based producer/artist, Howie Lee, due out in April 2021 on Mais Um.

Fresh off the back of several high impact, club-centring album releases on Maloca, SVBKVLT and his influential, Do Hits label, on top of remixes for artists including Lawfawndah, Charlie XCX & Sophie, Lee presents his most organic and expansive project to date.

Written, produced and recorded entirely by Lee at the back end of 2018 (with the exception of the album’s resident four-piece choir made up of rising Beijing artist, Fishdoll, Shanghai singer/producer, Yehaiyahan and West by West, with Lee himself also included), Birdy Island’s almost exclusively acoustic yet broad sound palette threads continuities between ceremonial Taoist music, early Buchla synth experiments, and FWD>> nights at London’s Plastic People.

“This album just came very natural. It was all recorded little by little. Layer upon layer. The approach was to just record. I had all these instruments around me and I just thought, i’m gonna play and keep playing”.

Howie’s latest offering is as enchanting as it is boundlessly imaginative. “I’ve always had this concept in my mind about making an album based around an island”. Loosely based around Lee’s own long-formed concept of a floating Sicilian theme park, co-inhabited by both birds and ancestral spirits, Howie remarks: "Birdy Island to me is a palace in the clouds and the birds are worshipped like Gods. Not like a western God though.” Reminiscent of Hayao Miyazaki’s Laputa (in the 1986 film Castle In The Sky), Lee’s Birdy Island has been built by a Chinese investment company seeking to re-sync our relationship with the spiritual and natural world after years of economic collapse and degradation, and who invite Howie to compose the park’s soundtrack. Inside Birdy Island’s 30-minute gallery of collaged sound, Lee draws on a wide history of traditional pan-Asian music, filtered through his unique lens of contemporary electronic production.

From playful percussion to child-like wonderment, the album title track and first single off Birdy Island combines Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith-esque synths with rattling bells and AI-manipulated birdsong to saintly effect, with Lee’s four-piece choir invoking an almost devotional chant, accompanying Lee's ethereal and bright production.
