***
James Beardmore aka Cares is a Toronto-based musician and experimental producer from Birmingham. Influenced by his multidisciplinary background in improv and visual art as well as by his teenage experiences with punk bands in the UK, the artist resorts to audio sources such as field recordings, samples, and both hardware and software instruments for his inspired and skillful sound design that touches at the same time industrial, ambient/noise, and club-oriented music. Later this month, Cares will appear with the 10-track cassette called Nerve Day on the multi-disciplinary electronic label ZABRA, started in 2018 and based in Lisbon, and focused on the interaction between music and performative and digital art.

Cares previously appeared on labels like Collusion, & Options, and early this year on Table Scraps, while also being an active member of the global collective No Exist together with Okay Vivian, Ylang Ylang, and Così e Così. In the course of his prolific career, that brought him to cross path with diverse music communities and pivotal figures like Suzanne Ciani, Lee Ranaldo, and Rabit just to name a few, the artist has been continuously evolving and shaping his production in a multifaceted, morphing entity, both on the stage and in the studio. His latest endeavor, recorded last year in Toronto, is but the latest example of versatility and mastery of sound elements converging in fragmented, unpredictable, and emotional pieces of abstract electronics.

Reportedly inspired by the role of the human nervous system in "interpreting and creating reality", Nerve Day meddles with evocative sound textures, gnawing noise, eroded kickdrums, and bursting electrical discharges in an attempt to shape a free-form, non-conceptual representation of the relationship with one's self and external reality as well as the interactions between conscious and unconscious drives. The final outing is a mammoth audio chimera that can be as elusive and tranquil as it can be eventful and unforgiving, much close to an unfiltered stream of consciousness in the form of pressure airwaves.

Nerve Day will be published in the form of a limited-edition, 40-page art publication designed by Cares himself, together with custom-packaged cassettes mastered by Graham Galbraith-Nolan. The release is set for next Friday, March 26, and you can pre-order your copy at this link. Today, we are presenting on our channels the third track of the record, called There Weren't, and possibly the most aggressive among the others thanks to its abrupt sound explosions, distorted kicks, and detuned synth stabs that suddenly switch off and mutate in the most tender and ethereal melody. Don't miss this stunning record on ZABRA!

ESTOC - WAR WORLD ft CITY [YGK019]

Once in a meadow lived a community
Hidden from greed and insanity

A place made of the most simple magic
Where the breath of everyday life becomes music

The one that takes time to look will see
Among the grass, a microcosm of possibilities

After the sun comes the moon
After the rain comes the sprout

When the time curve draws a circle
Nothing is lost, everything is transformed

Welcome to Ostara, our land of plenty.

Another Day In The Meadow

Dviance - Strolling Around

@vendredear

Walking through empty cold streets so fast I could fly, I wish my body would follow my mind as it passes out.
Sometimes feeling it all leads to emotional numbness.
This mix is a journey towards balance, through overwhelming feelings, sentimental glitches & self-doubt — with a romantic twist.

FEELING IT ⏤ Vendredear

@mondoriviera is the moniker of Ravenna-based musician and visual artist Lorenzo Camera. Producing music at the crossroad between late-night z-series horror movie soundtracks, 2d modular synthesis digital soundscapes and new-school plunderphonics, after his debut “Il Tempio degli Uomini Granchio” on New Weird Italian label Riforma, and the folk-vaporwave soundtrack for videogame Nott Longa on Artetetra, Mondoriviera is back with 10 new tracks jumping from the golden era of glossy horror VHS to new millennium goblin muzak and sonic delusions.

At the threshold between early 2000s music videos nostalgia, childhood memories and digital drifts, the second album by Lorenzo Camera, aka mondoriviera, explores the sentimental impacts of contemporary archetypes in our imagery with the help of post-vaporwave sounds. [The life of] “Frenton Cantolay", a parody of 'Frampton Comes Alive', the 1976 pop record, is a sonic journey into a contemporary Olympus inhabited by spiritually-corrupted zombies. In this parallel world, zombie celebrities, only apparently outside the afflictions of life, live at the mercy of Fortune, praying to the graces of the Goddess who exists above all world's logic.

Yet every success reveals the arbitrariness of their path; Fortune brutally elevates people to heaven only to eat their heads alive, while the mass keeps working, alienated, just to sustain their futile concatenation of needs. A timeless hero, the zombie Frenton Cantolay attempts to rise from mere worker to superstar, chasing unattainable dreams without accepting that we are not the same in this Olympus.

Echoing pastiches of pastiches of theories and pieces of lost media, mondoriviera's album reflects on the afterlife of 2000s musical archetypes and at the same time tries to open up alternative futures. A glitching pornography of our mediatic times, the zombie is a character that questions our deepest desires and social constructs. Is there an alternative?

The scratchy, phantasmagoric sounds of Mondoriviera create a sense of alienation and possibility. After the psychedelia and Creepshow's imagery already present in Lorenzo's debut record 'Il Tempio degli Uomini Granchio', this album represents a further hallucination, a soundscape for an unrealised deranged metaphysical videoclip, a crooked ballad for a love yet to come.
