Putting a pigeon amongst the cats we are back with that good shit. An out of step, incidental artefact of peaceful sophistry: YS - Brutal Flower (2 x “12 LP). A no airs and graces piece of cool future-proof ambience. A modern ballad for brave young clubbers, local pubbers, slipstream warriors, and emotional doggers.

The distinctive aesthetic hallmarks of YS are all here: slabs of urban flavour from emotional interior; raw data straight from the interface. ‘Untethered’ and ‘Down’ are chopped-up cuts of searching R’n’B - jaded jams of lustful erasure. On the flipside, blunted desire lingers in ‘Fading
Memory’. Both hopeful and mourning: this is the lay of the land in Brutal Flowers sharing that rare strain of underground synesthesia best located in dark undercurrents of early Mo Wax.

The orchestral ambience of ‘Autumn OST’ is a potent stupor of end credit cinematics. Coming up for air. It feels young in an ancient sort of way: pure as first snow. And from here in the album unfolds with the patience, tranquility and the expansive poise of a work that is for now and always. Pulsating gently to assured ending with ‘Be Together’ - a flickering skyline, swarming with warm memories. In between there’s flashes of heartbreak reminiscent of Beltran's Ten Days of Blue and Blunt’s Stone Island (‘Look Up’ feels like a sort of spiritual successor to ‘Wake up’), that being said, when push comes to shove it only it ever flirts with its own reality.

An aesthetic reflection of a creative process that is delicate and restless. Created in the edges, where long distances, fast cities and global melancholia are wrought large. Burning the midnight oil Berlin-Singapore style: from real to reel. A sentimental exercise of modern faith by old
friends. With a nudge and a wink, Brutal Flowers is a (de)coded map of memories wavering with familiar intrigue. Patient listeners and the already initiated will be rewarded on re-visits - as playful & profound as you please, as deep as the heart.

The scathe that cuts is clean and deep. There are no sleight of hands to be found in this opus, only hearts are worn on the sleeve here.

A hill we’d gladly die on

pi pi pi premiere: YS - Pilgrimage (Pace Yourself)

interview: https://www.lowendtheorists.com/theory-therapy-mixes/bad-lsd-trips

Psychedelic meditations.

For anyone not yet familiar, bad lsd trips is a collaboration between artists doris dana and Domingo Castillo. Last year, they released an album on enmossed that mixes early industrial, dark ambient and drone into shape-shifting structures. It's quickly become a personal favourite. 

Their Theory Therapy mix is a special one. Like their music, it's refreshingly unpredictable and tonally distinctive – a seemingly disparate collage of hums and sounds that will firmly lodge itself into your brain. Enjoy the trip.

- Mars89 (Natural Sciences, Sneaker Social Club / Tokyo, JP)

@mars89

Mars89 is a musician whose uncompromising electronic compositions have cemented him as one of the most unique and exciting prospects within Tokyo’s underground club circuit, but his contribution to the city’s culture extends far beyond the dancefloor.

Since moving to Tokyo in his late teens in 2008, Mars89 has established himself as someone whose creative output—in all its shapes and forms—provides a vital perspective on the vicissitudes of living in one of the most populous urban metropolises in the world.

His discography to date is a bricolage of styles, channeling the guttural, sub-bass-infused body music from UK dubstep’s heyday and the mutant rhythms of Bristol’s signature bass music scene—some of Mars89’s foundational musical influences—as well as the auteurs of cinema, from Kubrick to Lynch, and, specifically, their unparalleled flair for all things eerie, abject, and uncanny. In his arsenal, he possesses tracks that can immediately ignite the latent energy of a heaving club crowd, as well as ambient compositions that transport listeners into unsettling alien landscapes evocative of sci-fi dystopias and biotechnological collapse. It’s his ability to weave seamlessly between the two that sets him apart as an artist who ultimately uses his sensibilities to design entire worlds, and this is also reflected in his boundary-pushing VR explorations with the label Bokeh Versions and collaborations with designers like Patrick Savile.

Outside of music, Mars89 has collaborated with fashion brand Undercover's Jun Takahashi on a collection that deconstructed military garments, making them into a powerful anti-war statement in true punk spirit, as well as releasing a record through the brand. The latter referenced the show soundtrack he had created for Undercover’s AW19 collection and featured remixes by Thom Yorke, Zomby, and Low Jack, whom he had played alongside at the Takahashi-curated installment of Virgil Abloh’s club night, Sound Design. All three of the artists signed up for remix duty immediately upon request, demonstrating how highly regarded Mars89 is by his global contemporaries.

Mars89 is also a key figure within Tokyo’s activist community, spearheading an anti-establishment ‘Protest Rave’ that has seen sound trucks drive through some of the city’s most iconic vistas while blasting out hard techno, galvanizing Tokyo’s youth into new, emergent strands of political engagement.

star gazing with @el_hardwick

o:how have you been sleeping lately?
e:deeply and with lots of vivid dreams!

o:are you a daydreamer or night swimmer?
e:absolutely a day dreamer, i spent all of my childhood being told off for it at school. i always say i’m solar powered as i lose most of my energy once night falls.

o:where do you go to dream?
e:the wilderness.

o:what was the last thing you heard that moved you?
e:my friend nicolette iles makes monthly 5 hour playlists for their patreon subscribers - everything in their last playlist was spectacular and moving.

o:have you ever cried on the dance floor?
e:i don’t recall on a dance floor, but i cried when Jenny Hval played one of my most favourite songs ‘cemetery of splendour’ at one of the first gigs i went to after lockdown. it was accompanied by visuals of her husky running through the norwegian forest, with a go-pro on his neck filming from his perspective. you could just see his fluffy ears and paws in the corner on the lens and it overwhelmed me with hope and tenderness.

o:where did you record this mix? 
e:in my living room across two very rainy days, with my cat sleeping close by.

o:what drew you to the sounds?
e:the running thread was conversations we’ve had and music we’ve shared together. also lots of reverb and 90’s nostalgia.

o:what's your plan next weekend?
e:i'm going to a cloud bath by my friend saxophonist laura misch, and doing a taster pottery class - a birthday present from my partner because they know i've wanted to play with clay for a long time!
