quest?onmarq supplements the recent launch of Vortex Imprint with two new tectonic creations for years end. https://vorteximprint.bandcamp.com

The opening track, 'Jackhammer' begins with a spontaneously obtained field recording... building and deconstructing arrangements of pneumatic pummeling kicks and broken-up 'reverse alert' sounds that ricochet throughout... hard hats on the dancefloor for this one." Heavily distorted kicks drill and break up the air with intense staccatto vibrations as spacious clangs and rhythms ricochet throughout. 

'Twist', an airy and dark melodic sonata anchors the titular release.  "inspired by autumnal introspect, drawing from themes of resilience and persistence. this track illustrates a cool yet inextinguishable fire through use of focused kinetic percussion which skates flirtatiously around airy arrangements of string and pad play."

‘Inflatable Gravestone’ is the debut album by Mun Sing released on https://soundcloud.com/planetmurecords on 2nd June 2023

‘Inflatable Gravestone’ is the debut album by Mun Sing (aka Giant Swan’s Harry Wright).

The motivating force of the album is the sudden loss of Harry’s father in 2020. His father struggled with substance addiction and the album explores ideas of 'spirituality' and the ‘higher self’ in relation to addiction and its parallels with the coping mechanisms of grief. It also aims to highlight the importance of humour and distraction when coping with loss.

Serving as a narrative for his own experiences, the album is largely built around club-centred tracks (such as ‘Spider’ and ’Squabble’) broken up by moments of yearning and reflection in tracks like ’The Poison Garden’ and ‘Helhest (Azrael Smirks)’ and moments of dark anguish like 'Inheritor' with its heavy slab-like chords and pensive piano. Flirting with awkward and suggestive rhythms, Wright deliberately suspends moments of resolution and groove in favour of drama and jerky, unexpected cartoonish humour, taking as much influence from the likes of the Art Of Noise as Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. 

Wright rewards the listener with moments of clarity and introspection like flags on the journey, recruiting vocalist MX World to deliver lyrics and melodic ideas created by him and his father. His father’s journals in rehab helped inform most of the lyrics. Some take whole sentences as a way to physically ‘give life’ to his words for the first time. The lyrics describe feelings, revelations and  apocalyptic hallucinations. MX World's clear, direct tone suggests folk music and the timelessness of the human condition.

The album concludes with the title track ‘Inflatable Gravestone’ which features a chorus of giddy manipulated laughter from Wright’s friends and family to a truly maddening effect. This is then resolved by bright and clear piano chords and the sound of Wright’s father breathing in his sleep. A deeply affecting and personal record with corkscrew twists and turns and a healthy dose of absurdism.

Squabble

Jackhammer
"whilst walking past a construction site, I was met with the fantastic daydream of wondering what would come of sampling a jackhammer via spontaneous field recording. in building and deconstructing arrangements of pneumatic pummeling kicks and broken-up 'reverse alert' sounds that ricochet throughout... 'Jackhammer' was created. hard hats on the dancefloor for this one."
