Norwegian music producer FAKETHIAS will self-release his long-awaited debut album, Core Echo, on November 17th. He announces the album with lead single “Euphoria Loop” – a track that pushes at the outer limits of shoegaze, by mixing super-sweet vocal melodies and driving guitars with ultra-processed industrial textures.

Core Echo is written, performed and produced by FAKETHIAS (and co-produced by Vetle Junker), and it marks a bold new direction for an artist who’s made his name in the worlds of noise, ambient and experimental club music. His vision is to find pockets of beauty and harmony in the zones where opposing ideas clash, by combining his signature production techniques with more traditional songwriting done on a “shitty” guitar at home. “I’m way more inspired by accidents than anything else,” FAKETHIAS says, “I like creating the potential for beautiful mistakes.”

These are simple, warm and pleasing songs at their core, but surrounded by thick sonic weather. On “Skin”, his hypnotic vocals glide over skittering beats and evocative textures to create a feeling that’s altogether transcendent. “Navel” is a ghostly acoustic song with a subtle fuzz around its edges, whereas the titular song “Core Echo” is a wall of fierce and impenetrable noise that eventually resolves itself into a heartbreakingly tender refrain. This is a world-building album of stark contrasts, of electronic and analog, brightness and darkness, hope and devastation.

Intravenous soap dispenser cleansing all the tubular flesh routes and fluid passageways inside of yourself. Some kind of pipe-based system funnelling spitshine into crevices. Fashioning new crevices and using some kind of pipe-based system to funnel spitshine inside of them. You can achieve hygiene. You can be purged. You can listen to angelicaa & First Circle's 'No Doubt', from their collaborative album AFC2 out now on Body Motion. Spick as well as span!

7k c.i.t. y? (demo)

my dreams full of you,
everytime tears have rolled
down my face
my diarys gone,
memories have been burned,
for you
so ill stay right here,
catch u taking a break,
of it
every day felt the same,
thoughts have made you doubt
your strength
i want to see you,
success with your passion
remind me of something,
reminiscing our past
i like when you say,
that ive made you feel safe
show me more and more
i dont have to escape
tell me whats on your mind
id like to see my worth
through your eyes
ahead of our time,
we’re thinking far enough,
to try
i’ll pick you up
when you fall back in your hole,
anytime
ive seen what u do,
ive seen what u like,
it’s gonna be different,
alright?
everytime u leave,
hope that ill hear from you,
ive picked out the flowers
in your favorite blue
i’m digging through pictures,
and folders too
cus it makes me feel something,
i feel when im with you

your favorite blue

false alarm.
