MODEL HOME - 8

1. Orbital
2. Push Thru
3. Intro
4. No Threshold
5. Done From Love

Model Home is a collaboration between NAPPYNAPPA and Pat Cain, along with whoever joins them from record to record. Thru the first 7 of their albums, all available via their home-cooked Bandcamp site, Pat, Nappa and guests (such as Greens and Boost) have aimed for the the "butt-naked expression," as Nappa put it once, of a sort of free rap music.

Future Times is very excited to announce that the new album, simply titled 8, features Dolo Percussion on drums and FX throughout, and is out now on FT. The tunes bring together a few of DC's music scenes (Rhizome, FT, DMV rap) into a huge smush, on some scrappy Capital shit. 

Funk from Washington DC. Tip!

Mastered By The Bastard.
Recorded 2018-19 across DC & MD. Pre-masters tweaked and freaked with Mike Petillo at Tonal Park, MD.

Howie Lee - Island Birdy
Taken from the album Birdy Island, out now
LP/CD/Digital - Mais Um (MAIS042)

"At once fine-grained and expansive, Lee’s work combines traditional Chinese music and historical references with wild electronic experimentation" 
7.6 in PITCHFORK 
"Birdy Island is Lee's most organic work" RESIDENT ADVISOR
Swirling layers of OST-style sound design, dreamy choir vocals and traditional Chinese folk combine across eight dynamic and transportive tracks on Birdy Island, the latest album by Beijing-based producer/artist, Howie Lee, due out in April 2021 on Mais Um. 

Howie’s latest offering is as enchanting as it is boundlessly imaginative. “I’ve always had this concept in my mind about making an album based around an island”. Loosely based around Lee’s own long-formed concept of a floating Sicilian theme park, co-inhabited by both birds and ancestral spirits, Howie remarks: "Birdy Island to me is a palace in the clouds and the birds are worshipped like Gods. Not like a western God though.” Reminiscent of Hayao Miyazaki’s Laputa (in the 1986 film Castle In The Sky), Lee’s Birdy Island has been built by a Chinese investment company seeking to re-sync our relationship with the spiritual and natural world after years of economic collapse and degradation, and who invite Howie to compose the park’s soundtrack. 

On the album’s 2nd single Island Birdy, Lee’s intricate brand of traditional pan-asian exploration meet experimental bass weight sound resurfaces with stripped-back UK Grime sonics and ceremonial taoist music at it’s centrepiece, fusing to create a sound world like no other. Reminiscent of movie or video game soundtracks of decades previous, Island Birdy feels intimate, yet refreshingly unfamiliar. 

From Daoist scripture to 1970s martial arts-themed wuxia novels, Howie’s myriad strands of musical and visual output have often enveloped themes circling modern and ancient Chinese history. Lee’s Socialism Core Value EP series and the dystopian-horror 3D animation for 2017 single Bankers (created and directed by Howie himself), as well as his work with visual artist and video game designer, Teom Chen (the pair have gone on to tour their collaborations across China as part of Lee’s live show), offer a glimpse into the broad social and cultural questions intrinsically entwined throughout his discography.
