Norway’s finest purveyors of off-kilter, crystalline pop, Soft as Snow aka Oda Egjar Starheim and Øystein Monsen, are back with a brand new release. The 4-track ‘Chrysalis’ EP is the duo’s second original release, following their 2014 debut - the ‘Glass Body’ EP, which was also issued as 'Glass Body Remixed', a striking collection of reworked versions by Lucy, Gabe Gurnsey of Factory Floor, Maria Minerva and Brian DeGraw of Gang Gang Dance.

"Chrysalis is hard, direct, free, emotional. It makes us dance, connect, explode." - Soft as Snow

Opening track ‘I Adore’ is characterized by abrasive synths and shimmering inflections, while ‘Fluid’ builds from glassy restraint to a synth freak-out. ‘Mouth’ is a menacing statement of intent, all tribal percussion and primal yelps, calling to mind the unsettling production of Mica Levi’s soundtrack for ‘Under The Skin’. The EP draws to a close with the energetic, skittering ‘Her Blood Is Gold’, with Oda’s strange, otherworldly vocal binding it all together.

The release was mixed in LA by Timothy Wiles, whose engineering credits as Q include Factory Floor and Liars, whilst his production career as Überzone stretches back to the USA’s mid-90s rave boom. The 12” is pressed to hot pink vinyl and housed in a high-gloss sleeve with artwork by Kytten Janae, in a limited run of 500 copies.

Soft as Snow - I Adore

my heart is locked in a box*:･✧*:･ﾟ

UK record label based at fabric, East London. Run in part by Rob Booth (Electronic Explorations)

When considering the musical inspiration & working pallette of Drm Peopls, your mind & body literally has to take a journey to those very places that have randomly pollinated the spirit of his work.

The music is a personal embodiment of random time, place, & circumstance of existence that creates the rich fabric that assimilates into the multi cultural tapestry and experience interweaving the entire expression; it reflects the maker.

Growing up in a multi ethnic military family upbringing brought together variance in everything.
Drawing inspiration from youth skate culture where everything is an aesthetical potluck of sorts, you can feel the pull of everything from a an arty indie dance number running around some basement hip hop cut touching hands with latin jazz pulsing on the rhythm of deep house with the raw and unabashed emotion of anarcho punk; the tool bag pulls from everything because there has been many roads to build.

With Drm Peopls, there is a heavy concentration on the rythym whether it be straight forward or syncopated, it's the drum that creates the pulse and the people are the movement it follows.
