A weekly selection of fine music from the Quiet Circle

Indie Folk (On the road...)

 “A Story in Parts” is as it is named. It is the heartbreaking moment of losing love and losing your mind. Each of the six parts meld together to create one twenty minute musical novella - weaving you in and out of one’s exploration of doubt, self examination, realization and healing. 
 Between the honesty, breaks in   melody and every form of intricate instrumentation, unique to Pinkerton as an artist, you will be entangled deeper into this unapologetic falling out. 
 Together, each piece creates one art form that will wholeheartedly break your heart as you relive the tale part by part.
 Journey through Sam Pinkerton’s “A Story in Parts” and discover a new way to listen to music.

What does the future of peace and quiet look like? Is it possible for someone to find serenity in a world where population mushrooms and buildings continuously jockey for the best possible view? With Kael Smith’s (Mombi, Khale) Mute Forest this dichotomy is at the epicenter of his 'Infinity Pools EP' due April 7th via Lost Tribe Sound.

To coincide with visuals courtesy of Gregory Euclide (Bon Iver, Erased Tapes), Smith’s debut EP fuses acoustic sounds, mangled electronics and provocative lyrics across four meditative yet mesmerizing tracks.

Serving as a companion piece to his expansive and sonorous LP, 'Deforestation', due later this year, Smith’s 'Infinity Pools EP' was actually written as a reaction to that material but will be released first.“ 'Deforestation' will in a sense be a prequel to the EP,” explains Smith. “And for listeners who follow along, should provide an interesting reverse narrative,” he concludes.

“Crypt,” the EP’s opener, contains oscillating vinyl-sampled rhythms, chiming electric guitar and gently struck nylon guitar. Following that is the sparce and haunting “Volcanoes Flowing,” which traces a melancholy beat and slow, lovely piano crescendos to its heartbreaking conclusion.

Darker in tone, title track "Infinity Pools" has a commanding presence using ominous electronics and damaged samples of Le Creuset pots being struck. Heavily processed and featuring vocals from Smith’s longtime girlfriend Kelly O’Brien, the track unfurls into a hypnotic groove over the chilling words “You’ll feel like an ember trilling/out in space.”

Washing over the listener to conclude the EP, “Eat the Skin” originally started as an A Winged Victory for the Sullen remix of a song off of their recent LP, 'Atomos'. As the track progressed though, all of the layers performed by AWVFTS were eventually stripped leaving only acoustic guitar and Smith’s voice. “I like to pretend we wrote that song together, hopefully someday they will hear it” desires Smith. He uses the big, cavernous sound of acoustic guitar as base for unhurried, dulcet vocals and airy electronics. “I’ve always loved the big, acoustic sound of Seafood’s “Desert Stretched Before the Sun”“ explains Smith. “I really tried to emulate that deep resonate tone where the acoustic sounds like a tidal wave.”

All through the winter we’ve held the past like a bible to keep us in place
But I’m not religious and we like adventure so forget all those laws we embraced

It is time to step off the carousel

It’s easy to live by the clock on the wall cause you do what you’ve done before
But soon you end up in a cycle of learning the things that you already know

It is time to step off the carousel

It’s not that I want to deny the patterns that helped us to stay in bloom
It’s just that it feels like we’re falling asleep when we should be uncovering the moon

It is time to step off the carousel

Lyrics:

Let your head hang low
Let your eyes fall heavy
you can jump, you wont fall
arms wide open, i'll be ready

Let your ego melt fast
Let your smile stay bright
You can hold my hand a tight knit grip throughout this night 

So let me be the roots, you need
Let me help you grow 
let me help you succeed
know that you are loved
not just by me 
see my heart open wide 
so why do you get scared 
and why do you hide

Let your doubts crash to pieces 
negativity needs releases 
but i know, i know, deep in you
you just wanna love, love what you do
but pressure hits you like a plank 
and ego wants to fill the bank 
but the bank in your heart will always be barren 
if you don't start the love
please start the caring 

So let me be the roots, you need
Let me help you grow 
let me help you succeed
know that you are loved
not just by me 
see my heart open wide 
so why do you get scared 
and why do you hide

why do you hide from love
oh why do you you hide 
oh why do you hide 
from love
why do you hide

@Scherbe experienced his musical socialisation in the triangle of Karlsruhe, Heidelberg and Mannheim and relocated to Dresden only in 2009. 

Considering the fact that he is a child of the American occupation zone it comes as no surprise that he drew inspiration from Afro-American culture for his music and for his cultural principles in general. Although he has a colourful musical biography skipping back and forth between Pop, Hip-Hop, Underground House and Drum’n’Bass he always seems to come back to his most important sources of inspiration, namely J Dilla, Theo Parrish and Pépé Bradock. Besides his solo activities and live performances, he also produces together with his buddy @Peter-Clamat as @Citizen-Funk whose records are released on Clamat’s label @Big-Bait-Records.

This 4 track selection is purest scherbe-sound (below 120bpm) for hazy autumn days and nights, not only for clubs but heavy on the low rumbling in a smoked out basement ! 

"Let it cool" opens with the perfect percussion-progressive-lift and a weird japanese 90’s sample, surrounded by Scherbe’s favorite synth Korg Wavestation. "Van Purgis" goes “wonky” like we love at Musique Large’s with this snare “giving the track a broken feel perfect for after-hours in small clubs where people are not so drunk but stoned as f*ck !” from the german artist words. Then the very strong, melodic and acid-like bassline of "Cup of p" hits the floor and your brain at the same time. This groovy and shuffling drums from mpc-diskettes needs repeated listening to grow-up, but "Slice in the city" is here to relax, with it deep sample from old disco/new wave, endless groove and georgeous „metallic“ open hihat.

This is the calm before the storm
This is the sea between the isles
And this ain’t the time to chase the dawn
This is the time to count the miles

So hold your fire and clear your mind
You won’t get left behind

I was a shadow on the screen
I was a drifter on the prowl
Now I’m the lights behind the scenes
Now I’m the wolf that’s yet to howl

Yet to break out and yet to run
Yet to be outdone
