rave of redemption

Whirlpool is a new sonic tale of love and loss by Vanity Productions. This time Christian Stadsgaard strikes with a special collaboration with Meuko Meuko and Yunus Rozenzweig blending music and poetry. A fragile feeling grows like a seed into a whirlpool of emotions that elevates you and fuses separate worlds into a body full of beauty and quiet contemplation. Until the dream abruptly ends with the whisper of outlandish winds.

Under the moniker Kagami Smile, Ryan Hill has explored a world of recordings, reminiscent of bursting, shoegaze-inspired electronic music. Via string of releases for Opal Tapes, Dream Catalogue and Forgot Imprint, Hill’s bodies of work have formed a cohesive yet sprawling practice of explorative composition, bringing together powerful flashes of broken techno beats colliding with melancholic ambiences.

On their latest album ‘Floating Underneath’, Kagami Smile builds on a foundation laid on their previous releases - amped and roaring drones & distorted kicks, which constitute a wall of sound concurrently hypnotic and deeply affective. Complementing its thematic outlines of romanticism and sentimentality, ‘Floating Underneath’s’ long-form compositional approach is an invitation to dream, sink, ebb and flow.

Kagami Smile - Lovesick - Cold Death

"Soulthorns / The Seeker (…)Each of the bramble entities detached itself from the mass and began to plunge their hands into the murky waters all around. The ground shook with the rhythm of their arm movements, creating halos of white embers. Immense plants sprang up from the depths, forming incomprehensible structures. A sort of translucent flow was running through those plants, similar to human veins, giving those structural architecture something mysthical. As passed through the scene, the central mass of light seemed to recede. Ominous lyrical harmonics resonate more clearly through the huge holes surrounding it. As it touched the light, A deep nothingness appeared all around. A deep growing intensifies under the feets until grumbling while everything were still dark.
Appeared then such as a mirror in front, a stream of water. It slowly intensify drop by drop. Suddenly the face of a woman revealing through the water, as if frozen across the centuries. Only her face stood out, slowly revealing the rest of her body was spread out over several meters of intertwined brambles and fir branches, giving an opressive confusion of her real proportion. After a minute as long as a year, her eyes opened, revealing a striking colour. Her gaze darted forward and a root tore through the water with a tremendous roar. The swarm then devoiced and through the torrent of branches an artefact took shape. A dagger of obsidian, ochre black that only the glowing light of those eyes could reveal. Plunging the blade through the water, the woman disappeared in a thousand seconds and with a blink of an eye, blood poured from the hand handling the knife. It only took a second again to see the knife disappearing like ash, flooding the bloody mud of incandescent embers whispering words. This knowledge revealed to be unseekable for any drowsy mind. This unexplored part of the dream remind tormented, like a continuous pyre of memories consuming the roots."

13 lit candles, a candle for each month and an extra one for luck.

With the end of May comes Eastern Nurseries 1st anniversary. We had plans to celebrate it together, from moonlight until dawn. This new normality demands that we do it apart, so we present you with the 10th release on the Eastern Nurseries imprint. 'The Violence Of Merging' is a digital platter for digital times. 13 portraits of togetherness. A still-life reunion for a still world.

The Violence Of Merging

Burning Pyre - Impermanence

Saint Abdullah // “In God’s Image” // 2xCD on Psychic Liberation // 
Release date: August 21, 2020

Saint Abdullah, composed of Tehran-born brothers Mohammad and Mehdi, have fine-tuned their vision of conceptual, blown-out dub and free jazz with “In God’s Image,” an ambitious twenty-song double CD on Psychic Liberation. The opus by the two Iranians living in New York, is full of mourning and rage, but these affects only scratch the surface of the work’s emotional and formal heterogeneity. 

Like the image gracing its cover—a tiny, dusty peykan, its roof fitted with an image of Ruhollah Khomeini and cone speakers—Saint Abdullah uses DIY minimalism to deliver maximal messaging. On “Problem,” distorted percussion, Shia oration, and a sample of the late Nipsy Hussle meld into a cathartic club burner, while the rhythms and lifted string arpeggiations on “Potion for sorrow” induce hazy cinematics, the duo’s attempt at Persian stoner boom bap. 

Elsewhere are instances of improvised jamming, melancholic twinkling, and pensive restraint. The powerfully eclectic statement by Saint Abdullah includes appearances by saxophonist Travis Laplante, who blows a spiralling noir line over feedbacking cacophony. On another track, Moor Mother delivers a poetic lashing on Western imperialists who rain missiles on hospitals, grieves the bodies piling up as capital gets sucked from the Earth. 

The sample work on “In God’s Image” draws heavily from Iranian documentaries, and includes the brothers’ field recordings from Tehran and New York. Heretical combinations collide senses of antiquity and contemporaneity, resisting the many orientalist reads on Iranian culture and politics. In this struggle, Saint Abdullah conveys many emotional registers, from exhausted depression to righteous indignation. 

Among many things, the image of Khomeini on the cover, which often scandalizes American audiences, represents the overthrow of a 2,500-year-long monarchy. All forms of dehumanization receive the sonic snakebite of Saint Abdullah, and “In God’s Image” resuscitates the revolutionary potential of music that pulls from the traditions of oppressed peoples in both the East and West. 

Psychic Liberation, in operation since 2018, is an experimental music label started in Brooklyn, New York, currently based in The Hague, Netherlands. The label is distributed in North America by Fantastique, and in EU/UK by Boomkat.
