English:

*"This track has been unearthed and re-mastered from my drawer. It’s a cinematic ambient journey with micro-house and dub influences, featuring slowly evolving drones, shimmering pads, and textured layers. A deep, minimal 4/4 beat with soft kicks, warm sub-bass, and subtle hi-hats creates a hypnotic rhythm, while gentle percussion and smooth dub delays add emotional depth.

Futuristic yet introspective, the music feels like echoes in timeless space, inviting you to relax, reflect, and get lost in the sound. Every layer is meant to evoke feeling, curiosity, and a sense of calm exploration."*

Italiano:

*"Questo brano è stato riesumato e re-masterizzato dal mio cassetto. È un viaggio sonoro cinematografico con influenze di micro-house e dub, con droni che evolvono lentamente, pad scintillanti e strati di texture. Un beat minimal 4/4 profondo, con kick morbidi, sub-bass caldi e hi-hat delicati, crea un ritmo ipnotico, mentre percussioni leggere e ritardi dub aggiungono profondità emotiva.

Futuristico ma introspettivo, il brano sembra echi in uno spazio senza tempo, invitandoti a rilassarti, riflettere e perderti nel suono. Ogni strato è pensato per evocare emozioni, curiosità e un senso di calma esplorazione."*

Arms and Sleepers continue their journey through a turbulent 2020 with the 5th installment in their 6-part music series being released this year. The new full-length album, titled CORPUS DEI, will be out on Dec. 4 via Future Archive Recordings.

Arms and Sleepers is the electronic music duo Max Lewis and Mirza Ramic. Formed in Boston, USA in 2006, the group has amassed over 30 releases, nearly 2,000 live performances, and countless TV and Film music placements in their 15-year history. 2020 has been the group’s busiest year yet, and the upcoming new album CORPUS DEI looks to add another signature stamp in Arms and Sleepers’ diverse music catalog.

Written and produced throughout 2020 – while on US and European tours, unplanned quarantine in Latvia, and settling into a new home in Berlin – CORPUS DEI is a surreal musical journey that feels both free-spirited and highly tense. It is the culmination of a fragile, uncertain and difficult year, and a closing statement on an ambitious, multi-release conceptual project. CORPUS DEI is Arms and Sleepers’ fourth full-length album released in 2020 alone, which also saw the release of several EPs, standalone singles, and remixes. Each release has revolved around the idea of “self-destruction”, an eerily relevant topic that was conceived well before the pandemic-stricken year. Writes Ramic: “I started planning for this 6-part music release in 2019 as a way of dealing with and processing my own increasing existential obsession with mortality, meaning, and ultimate absurdity of life. I wanted each release to capture some broader, objective elements of human life as well as some more personal, subjective experiences. Little did I know that I would end up living in isolation in Latvia for nearly 4 months earlier this year. It was an incredibly bizarre period of my life, as it was—and continues to be—for much of the world.”

CORPUS DEI combines the varied sounds of Arms and Sleepers’ recent releases, merging elements of instrumental hip-hop, IDM, electronica, downtempo, and ambient music. The intricately textured beats and densely layered synths form a sonic palette that should be familiar to fans of Arms and Sleepers, but the static-induced, noisy and unsettling atmosphere of the album as a whole adds a new dimension to the group’s catalog. Experimenting more closely with sound design and focusing on the overall compositional flow, Arms and Sleepers manages to create a record that seems to—for better or for worse—capture the dreadful emotional weight of 2020. Writes Ramic: “The various song ideas for CORPUS DEI were written throughout 2020 in what seem like impossibly different contexts: a few days off on tour in Augusta, Georgia in warm southern weather in mid-February; a tiny hotel room in Odessa, Ukraine on the first day of a European tour; a strange 4 months in Riga, Latvia while stranded there in the midst of a pandemic; and a rejuvenating new chapter of my life in Berlin, Germany despite the continued uncertainty about the pandemic. This album feels like a collection of estranged fragments of my life this year – a year that has felt like an eternity.”

CORPUS DEI releases on Dec. 4 via Future Archive Recordings and will be accompanied by various special cinematic visualizers.

Future Archive Recordings artists Yppah and Natasha Kmeto team up for a short EP which features a song from each of their latest albums, as well as special remix versions. ‘Tree Ghost’ by Yppah was originally released as a part of ‘Future Archive, Vol. 1’ and again appears on Yppah’s 2020 full-length album ‘Sunset In The Deep End’. Natasha Kmeto’s remix of the song steers it away from the dreamy indie electronic space into a 90s era throwback dancefloor track. The EP also features ‘lagged’ by Natasha Kmeto, taken from her recent full-length album ‘you’ve never danced alone’. Yppah’s remix of the song sees the producer’s classic indie shoegaze sound shimmer through, offering a more relaxed and atmospheric version. All four tracks will drop via Future Archive Recordings on February 05.

An aptly dark, synth-heavy work-in-progress I thought I'd chuck on here for now.

'DELIRIA' is the debut album from ERA C [@idcbackwards], the new project from Sofia Insua of @easyeasyband + Mirza Ramic of @arms-and-sleepers. Out May 28, 2021 via @futurearchiverecordings.

LP / DL / STREAM >>> https://ffm.to/era-c-deliria
_____________________________________________________________

A transnational creation that embodies a unique selection of influences in a delicate offering to all that life has to offer, DELIRIA is an ode to travel, and discovery. Finding its home somewhere between romantic elements, bitter points of distrust and hope for the future, the LP envelopes all with its wavering electronic beats and irresistible vocals. ‘don’t call me from Los Angeles’ is a harsh look at communications with a missing love, driven by deep bass lines and irrefutable lyrics. ERA C proves to be a captivating mix of unusual tempos to both express and lull away hardships.

Speaking of the LP, Sofia Insua tells us: “DELIRIA is about distance and its sneaky way of censoring the heart, preventing it from feeling. I wrote the tracks during various transitional periods in my life, so I was going through change - adapting, looking for the next steps, and finding ways for love to survive. Some of the most defining lyrics on the record popped up in my head while walking busy streets, while traveling, while in motion. I was discovering myself geographically and through the songs that ended up being DELIRIA.”
