In the arms of a harmless wind that crosses wars : gentle projectiles, a shiver, the silent flight of a dandelion's feathers, an invitation to think about peace.

"It is a queer experience, lying in the dark and listening to the zoom of a hornet which may at any moment sting you to death. It is a sound that interrupts cool and consecutive thinking about peace. Yet it is a sound—far more than prayers and anthems—that should compel one to think about peace. Unless we can think peace into existence we—not this one body in this one bed but millions of bodies yet to be born—will lie in the same darkness and hear the same death rattle overhead. Let us think what we can do to create the only efficient air-raid shelter while the guns on the hill go pop pop pop and the searchlights finger the clouds and now and then, sometimes close at hand, sometimes far away a bomb drops."
Thoughts on Peace in an Air Raid, Virginia Woolf, 1940

lyrics
I've found a stone over my head
divine white messenger
I've dusted it off, put it in my mouth, 
then symbols formed in the clouds
A wind from the east, as cold as warm, your arms

turns riddles into hugs, you're a dusk

and when the drone of planes is tearing up a shred of clouds,
hear daydreamers blowing peace in the night 

dreams crossed the borderlands, a sleep in endless end

as cold as warm

Panoptikon is a suite of vocal & electronic music composed by Maria W Horn for an installation in the disbanded Vita Duvan panoptic prison (The White Dove Prison) in Luleå, Sweden.

Social Engineering brings together thirteen text fragments from so-called phishing emails. Using speech synthesis, they are spoken, sung, and/or transformed into abstract textures. The result is a 36-minute language and sound collage devoted to the dark forces of phishing.

Troth - Unfinished Rose (from An Unfinished Rose)

Vinyl pre-orders available now.

Seattle experimentalists NEWAXEYES play with tension and contradictions. Merging dark electronics, crystalline guitar melodies, pummeling beats and samples to refract the volatility, paranoia, and catharsis of the post-Information Age, the band spins carefully orchestrated and recklessly warped instrumentals into something entirely their own.

Their debut album, BLACK FAX, recorded live to tape over the course of two days and produced by Randall Dunn (Sunn O))), Earth, Wolves In The Throne Room), is a testament to the band’s genre-agnostic approach to music. A quartet of skilled multi-instrumentalists, Jordan Rundle (Bass/Synths/Sampler), Bret Gardín (Electronic drums/Synths), Tyler Coray (Guitar/Sampler), and William Hayes (Guitar/Synths), draw inspiration from a wide variety of places and seamlessly merge them into songs that are as abrasive as they are cinematic. 

Opening song “False Flag” samples vocals from dozens of conspiracy theory videos, unrecognizable as they are seamlessly woven through soaring guitars and a glitchy drum machine. “Aleph Null” is an example of the way the band is adept at mixing textures, moods, and instruments to create something that nods at the band’s eclectic list of references while being simultaneously unique. Parts of “Dennis” could easily be used as a thumping beat-driven background to a hip-hop song while others are downright ambient, blending post-rock sensibilities and a strumming guitar line. “At Blood’s” serves as a slow meditation between the punching percussion that drives the rest of the album. With guest vocals from composer/vocalist Hanna Benn recorded in a cavernous gutted stairwell and distorted over a droning synthesizer, there’s a hint at the dynamic abilities the band is able to pull from.

Since forming in 2013, NEWAXEYES has pursued a diverse range of projects within and beyond a traditional band structure. Versatile performers with backgrounds in modern composition, sound design, film and visual art, their wide-angle vision has encompassed various multimedia projects, art collaborations, and large-scale works - including 2015’s The 8th Passenger, a 2-hour-long live rescoring of Ridley Scott’s 1979 sci-fi horror classic ‘Alien’, performed to a sold-out theater.

NEWAXEYES guitarist William Hayes recently played on Jóhann Jóhannson’s score to Panos Cosmatos' (Beyond the Black Rainbow) Nicolas Cage-starring film Mandy (2018), the latest Myrkur album Mareridt (2017, Relapse Records), and toured as live keyboardist of Wolves in the Throne Room in 2016. Bret Gardín contributed electronic drums to post-punk pioneers Sort Sol’s Stor Langsom Stjerne (2017, Sony). 

If BLACK FAX is anything to go by, NEWAXEYES is sure to carve out something all their own in the coming years.
