Vertige II is the second compilation to be released on Abîme, gathering tracks from ten artists to explore the Vertige concept with a wider spectrum of intents.  

It features contributions from musicians all around the globe, each of them delivering an interpretation of this ambivalent sensation that could be equally seen as a positive or negative feeling if taken in its plurality of meanings.

Ranging from GIL’ dizzying textures in ‘Storm Petrel’ to the sweetness of Fauness’ guitars in ‘Am I ready’, Vertige II finds its coherence when seen as a progression, a back and forth between fear and love, with each track responding to the previous one by being its deforming mirror.

Vertige II puts the emphasis on vocal tracks, but again doesn’t limit itself to a one-sided approach, and that’s how Lil Asaf’s harsh Jordanian rap can be found coexisting with Flagalova’ anthemic pop and Ptwiggs’ shoegaze ‘Forever is not enough’. 

As the successor of our first compilation, this record can be seen as both a continuation and a rupture in comparison with it. The delicate sound palette of the original opus has exploded and expanded into an ecletic collection of pieces, sometimes frightening and overwhelming, and sometimes soothing and reassuring, as is the Vertige.

Contacto - Wayfaring

shimmer w/ didi - 29/11/2023

'when will you be here again?' is the second album from Eora-based artist Grasps, following the 2019 release of their metal/ambient/electronic enmeshment 'Awoken'. On WWYBHA, angels crash to earth, impacts heavy and burns through atmosphere, but not forgetting the fall, the beautiful grace of silk and hair through cool mist and soft clouds. Combining solo works with a carefully curated set of collaborations with Bayang (tha Bushranger), Marcus Whale & Wa?ste (Felix Idle), Grasps pushes extremes of 'genre' throwing all preconceived notions of their music away, in replacement raw emotional sonic outpouring.

This album is about dealing with uncertainty/fear of death, the afterlife, identity & self-worth.

I look to an empty field. It's like a fantasy. I could stop. I could get out and walk over to it. I could smell the grass closer. The hay. The sprigs of corn. I could hear the cicadas louder. I could come closer to it. I think, when will you be here again?

When Will You Be Here Again?

electric spark up my spine
