First Listen: Grebenstein - 'Meet My Needs' (Research)

After last year saw the launch of the Stages of Grief series on Vaknar via its maiden release Convalescence, the second volume presented here will focus on the theme of consolation and is thus aptly titled Solace. Once more a variety of artists were selected to respond to the theme. Solace begins with an uplifting chorus of synth laden resonances, bellowing throughout the duration of ‘Lonely Cloud’ by Danish native Rune Bagge, who made waves via his debut LP which was released on Northern Electronics last year.

Previous Vaknar collaborators White Stains (Belgium), Appropriate Savagery (France) and Amethyst (Germany) further divulge in a certain sonic spectrum and mood that encompasses the entire A side of the release. The B side is inhabited by two contrasting compositions, starting with a piece by American composer J. Carter titled The Collapse of the Cheekbone is the Death of the Comité de salut public. Here the listener is presented with a solemn gust of layered keys which steadily develop in dramatic fashion before bursting into a hurl of feedback that over-tones the proclamations of a muffled voice. J. Carter’s piece presents itself as the peak of a tumultuous phase of grievance and thus the following and final composition on the release ends on an contrastingly tranquil note, presented by Swedish composer Isorinne, who shares a nine minute long composition of pure, virtuous serenity that commemorates the arrival of a new stage, (which will be further explored throughout the third and final instalment in the series next year).

Each cassette comes housed in a unique, hand cut J-Card, derived from a variation of B&W screen prints specifically created for the Stages of Grief Series at an Edition of 50.

Friday 28th June sees Lena Andersson releases their album 'Söder Mälarstrand', a left-of-leftfield flurry of avant-guard punches with a coarse textural grain.

Lena Andersson - After 88 Years [Raster]

When ACL first started producing mixes, I knew that I didn't just want to invite artists and labels. We've always imagined ACL as a part of a broader community. As such I've often invited mixes from amateurs, from listeners and fellow critics. This mix is one of those.

Philippe Requena is a music lover who lives near Paris, and has been producing mixes casually for some time now, just putting them out once he's gathered enough tracks and samples. We will be featuring more of his mixes in the near future.

ACAVERNUS é o projeto solo de Paula Rebellato, artista autodidata, co-fundadora da banda RAKTA, residente em São Paulo.

Incorporando linguagem sonora, visual e da escrita, suas criações tem inspiração nos mistérios, trazendo intensidade, encontro, desconforto e beleza como um “abrir de buracos e desenterrar de memórias”.

Nesta sessão, ACAVERNUS utilizou o sintetizador Juno-DI, pedais de efeito e o sequenciador Volca Beats, aliados à sua voz e colagens sonoras numa vibração ritualística.
