"A collection of algorithms traversing crunchy texture, accelerated vocal refrains and shimmering melodic tension. Blending rhythmical undercurrents with euphoria and dysphoria.

A five-track sonic exploration of memories forming and their disintegration, the liminal spaces between awake and asleep.

Patterns of code compiled, recompiled, degraded, deleted. Transitory data, snapshots of meaning, even computers are ephemeral."

Premiere: jjjacob - Claviceps Purpurea [evo-natura]

City & i.o are immensely proud to present Chaos is God Neighbour, the full-length follow-up to their 2019 record Spirit Volume. This new release finds the musicians digging into murkier depths than Spirit Volume, and features extensive contributions from collaborators Dis Fig, aka Felicia Chen, x/o, aka Veron Xio, and vvilms, aka Aaron Wharton.

Composed at a frenetic pace over several weeks in mid-2020, the claustrophobia is palpable. As the album progresses the tracks get both shorter and progressively more brutal, interrupted by brief moments of respite. Throat-shredding harsh vocals provide a high watermark in intensity, while the expansive performances of Dis Fig and x/o serve as vantage points over the morass, giving the listener something both beautiful and human to grasp. Careening from rich synth work, to distorted guitars in alternate tunings; from i.o’s virtuosic and unhinged drumming to slabs of harsh ambient noise, this is a genuinely ambitious and rewarding album.

The 22nd release of katharsis is the album “Jester” by the Finnish duo Running, coming out on May 16th. The album unfolds an emotional and mythological tale of an imaginary terrain in an alternate time and realm with the Jester as the protagonist. Throughout the eight tracks, the listener is presented with a sonic world of tragic, sadness, beauty and even comedy by the duo’s poignant style of melodious ambient compositions.

Running’s “Jester” follows their last album “For Us By Us”, released on the Finnish label True Aether in 2018. On this release, the group seem to thrive with a conceptual and almost narrative backdrop for their creative outpourings. As Running have earlier been known for their very energetic and experimental live-performances, and as both members have indulged musically in other projects spanning from hardcore punk to contemporary performance art, it will be exciting to see where the duo goes from here.

Running - Green Jester

"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."

Tustance est fier de vous présenter le troisième album de l'artiste français Holyld ! Un an après son opus précédent intitulé "Lore Synd", Holyld continue de développer son univers unique avec "Soulthorns". 

"Soulthorns" est toujours connecté dans l’univers éthérique des autres albums, avec une nouvelle « localisation » combinant dans une autre réalité, les souvenirs, rêves dark-fantaisistes et médiévals de Holyld. Le tout s’imbriquant dans le même lieu/espace temps.

L'album se développe sur 15 titres ambient et mélancoliques qui nous rappelle les meilleurs œuvres d'heroic fantasy modernes. Avec "Soulthorns", Holyld nous fait explorer des contrées inconnues et mystérieuses tout au long de l'album. Un voyage musical sincère et touchant que nous vous invitons à découvrir.

"Non Masse" is the new EP from Brussels-based artist and producer Apulati Bien.

After several notable releases on the Parisian label Promesses ("OO:NÉ", "RER TRACKS" & "Azone", jointly released on the Belgian label KRAAK), as well as his latest delivery "Exvivo" on Belgian imprint Cold Moss or via the duo XOLOT he forms with artist Vica Pacheco, navigating in a neo-futuristic aesthetic with glitch and experimental influences mixed with juke, footwork and more broadly bass music heritage, Apulati Bien explores this time new territories, devoid of preconceived forms and leaving more space to each element.

Recorded at the time of the finalization of his album "Azone" released in February 2022, with the will to proceed with a different method, even opposed to the one he knows, "Non Masse" (whose title is equivocal of the approach) is a more aerial object, with unquantified structures and sliding material, reflecting a feeling of "wanting to get out of (his) own mass", according to his words. A feeling certainly shared by many during the troubled period of the last two years, and which echoes a general desire for detachment, for withdrawal combined with a search for discovery in these overloaded times.

"Non Masse" is not however an object apart from Apulati Bien's discography, where we find the main elements of his music : futuristic references, glitch and digital contortions, which should not be approached as a light object but as a complex one, where the subtle details don't aim at diverting the attention, but on the contrary at nourishing a more global speech. The title "Alone Global" of one of the tracks is probably the most accurate definition of this project.
