After releasing ‘Times New Roman’, Taipei-based singer and producer Scintii returns with a new four-track EP titled 'wetlands, harbours… and stations in between'

‘Times New Roman’ was the first release since Scintii’s second EP, Aerial/Paperbags, on SVBKVLT in 2018.

'wetlands, harbours… and stations in between' is the all-encompassing new sonic project, with the first single from the ‘teltoya ii’ out today to mark the announcement, which is set for a digital and physical release on 5th January 2024.

Scintii, an artist whose instantly recognisable vocals and sound takes inspiration from two cities previously called home, London and Shanghai, tracks take us through wistful yet impactful vocals, and ear for production that disregards any traditional genre forms, opening our minds to a new captivating blend of synth-driven electronica, and moody, atmospheric beats.

Songwriting comes first in the music-making process for Scintii; by responding to music and ideas in an instructive way, she starts with an organic and original form and elaborates on it.

'teltoya ii' came initially from a dream Scintii had that immediately stuck her with the desire to create sound, specifically the drum-like sound that takes centre stage within. ‘teltoya ii’ is the final track on wetlands, harbours… and stations in between. Matching the nature of the EP’s overarching and deliberate disregard for narrative structure, it perhaps offers up more beautiful questions than it answers, leaving us with the boundless and exciting potential for future exploration and endless interpretation.

With co-production credits by Bristol-based producer Hodge (track 1) and Soda Plains (tracks 2-4), Scintii continues with a signature wistfulness, with an occasional harder-edged tone too, dream-like synths and airy vocals seep throughout, making this a truly unignorable next step in the artist’s growing and highly exciting ongoing catalog.

Whilst often inherently personal, Scintii has not committed to a conclusion for the stories and questions this release traces, rather, leaves it up to the listener to decipher. There is no strict narrative to the project; moreover, it exists as a beautifully open-ended exploration of personal anecdotes and dreams, as well as memories of place, family, and sense of belonging.

“After finishing these songs, it took me a long time to summon up the courage to look back on their personal meanings and give them names,” Scintii explains. “It’s as if I’m standing at the entrance of a wild labyrinth made of intertwined confusion such as sense of belonging, distance, to connect and leave behind, cycles of light and darkness…” In not offering us any easy answers, this intuitive creator leaves the listener with a beautifully open-ended project that speaks about themes such as home and place, and a labyrinth of themes that emit both shadows - darkness and mystery - as well as brightness – hope, happiness, and longing.

Now available- Blink Twice - Newer Unknown Breeds 
https://moodexhibit.bandcamp.com/album/newer-unknown-breeds-expanded-edition

Expanded version of Blink Twice's 2nd album (originally released 1998), with bonus never before released material from 2000-2003

"Newer Unknown Breeds" was at the time a further development in sound for Blink Twice. The album expanded on the techno and electro genre much more than Blink Twice's debut "Other Locations". There was an increase usage of sampling on this collection of material, often with looped effects incorporated to add further density. With the blend of tribal and industrial elements remaining, it serves as an adventurous concoction of experimental rhythmic and darker ambient electronic music.
