Felt like walking south for months. Will do in the near future. Great!

Taken from SBKT043: Prettybwoy - Tayutau
Release date: 17th September 2021

Prettybwoy’s debut is entitled Tayutau ( 揺蕩う), a traditional Japanese term often used in haiku and literature, meaning ‘waver’ - a state of indecisiveness, to lose determination or purpose, often temporarily, or to drift or sway to and fro. Made over the last two years whilst dealing with isolation, job loss, burnt hard-drives and almost losing the whole project, the album has seen several phases and degrees of anxiety, uncertainty, hope and frustration.

‘Too many things have changed since starting to make this album, and I think that is reflected in the production. The album can be split into three parts – tracks I made before the pandemic when things felt stable, tracks made during lockdown in isolation, and tracks made during the cautious and conflicted opening up and the lead up to the Olympics. There has been so much confusion and changes back and forth, but I want to have hope and try to keep focused, which at times hasn't been easy’

As well as drawing from external causes, 'Tayutau' also comes from a place of internal uncertainty.

'This is a trip in search of my new identity, or maybe to understand my current one. I am Japanese, living in Japan, but my music is only released by labels from other countries. I am a member of SVBKVLT (China), and also Polaar (France), but where or who am I in Japan?’

Tayutau is a 10 track album, featuring two vocal appearances from lIlI and a collaboration with Primula, and comes with artwork and video from Wang Jingxin. A separate EP of remixes will be released shortly after the album.

Kurasaki - 'Intrusive Thoughts'

co-released with SODAA Club, 3 Swords Republic, Hard Return, HI-NRG, New Scenery, Sly Tone, and TOO MUCH INFORMATION !!

We're happy to contribute to this special release organized by SODAA Club, to support their activity with a selection of tracks from their compilation, curated by members of the Global URL Nation  (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)

+++
SODAA Club is a community developing a decentralised governance model for a music & arts venue in London.

Their first release explores the foundations of their own sound - with members and friends of their commmunity, the 31-track compilation is "genreless and fluid, self-organised and bottom-up."

Inspired by the decentralised release of Alkisah by Senyawa, any label sharing similar values could release their own version : "the artists and the labels participating in this compilation believe in a more equitable and collaborative future for our scenes, one guided by principles of solidarity economy, distributed decision-making, and the rejection of capitalist notions of culture, music and space."

+++
The profits will be split between the artists and SODAA, as a way to raise funds for their long-term goals, with a part going to the labels for their help.

If you want to support the project further, you can also donate via Open Collective : opencollective.com/sodaaclub

HforSpirit - 'UnTyMe (OST)'

UnTyMe is an observational folk-anti-horror which challenges stereotypes around ancient pagan beliefs and their links to the occult - exploring their increasing relevance today.

Their pilgrimage to the post-industrial landmark and infamous “rave cave” of the ‘90s Skull Quarry, invites a ritual rebirth and a reunion with nature. It responds to the collective “crisis of meaning” amplified during lockdown in the UK, as observed by first time filmmakers, musician HforSpirit and photographer Nick Hadfield.

Existing in the grey area between documentary and fiction, UnTyMe emerges from a body of research instigated by the filmmakers and carried out by a group of multi-disciplinary artists featured in the film. An exploration of stories, symbols and devotional song & dance connected to Anglo-Celtic folklore lays the path for a participatory film where the line between performance and reality is blurred. Spurred on by the prospect of filming a road trip to escape the increasingly banal reality closing in, the group undergo an unhinged awakening amongst the relics of rural rave culture.

The music composed by HforSpirit (DAIS, Northern Electronics, Ecstatic) juxtaposes industrial sound design with shamanic drums and folk songs exploring collective identity in the time of Covid.  

Toothgrinder Press are excited to release the Original Soundtrack to the UnTyMe project, as well as an accompanying physical ensemble consisting of a Vinyl, Zine, Bag and Cast Hairpin, all artefacts embodying the different aspects of the project.

[FL014] FunctionLab CNY greeting release - GG Lobster - 動亂星 Stars of Turmoil EP

"Everything I do comes from romance, if I can't be romantic, then I won't make music anymore. "GG summarized in a post when "Punk Karaoke" was released.

Throughout the entire "動亂星 Stars of Turmoil EP", the Gabber / Hardcore influence cannot be erased, but this is already the result of GG's efforts to suppress this influence to the minimum. The sensory stimuli pursued at the DJ set were not all brought into his personal release. "動亂星 Stars of Turmoil EP" is concerned with what is happening now, not the cyberpunk ideas, the fantasy of the stars and the sea, nor is it a thing of the past.

Each track has a clear expression goal: "榮耀 Glory" uses a lofty melody to tells about GG's love for certain people and things, not only for the ambition he is putting into practice, but also for those who work as hard as he but People who have not yet made a name for themselves; "犬子來拜 Adoration of Sons" expresses his dissatisfaction with the current situation around him and unilateral provocations against some rogues in a restless voice; "動亂星 Stars of Turmoil" uses a lot of rhythmic patterns of traditional Chinese lion dance, and his emotional foundation is built on Encourage the FunctionLab team and the entire Hangzhou music scene; "香港 Sweet Harbour" focuses on the expectation of love between person to person, with the characterization of delicate melody as the lead.

"My temper is still very strong, but now I feel that fighting with music is a more effective and smarter way." GG sees this EP as a successful self-positioning rescue and a safer emotional release. If you want to make a distinction between his musical career, maybe style and technology are not the most important boundaries, and the change of mindset is the real watershed. Although in music, he has reconciled with it, but in his life, the rebellious attitude could not be changed. Don't roar lyrics is only a partial concession, and the music still carries his sharp opinions, those passionate opinions.

"Let those assholes hear the aggressiveness in my heart and the ambition of FunctionLab and I, and let those who are smug and arrogant about their small achievements hear, there must be a winner or loser one day. "In addition, more is unruly and open love. This is the fate of GG Lobster, and it's what he is. Those extravagant lyrics that don't care are now internalized in his heart, leading him and guiding him.

"I hope you can hug your companions after listening, especially those who are still with you while doing things like moth fluttering fire with you." This is the most sincere, the most meaningful suggestions from GG Lobster about this EP.
