I was deeply inspired watching your 401 album creation videos, and glad that you are continuing with sound design.

Getting a James Blake vibe here and that's absolutely a good thing

Artist: Rachel Grimes
Title: The Herald
Album: The Clearing
Release Date: May 26, 2015

Rachel Grimes is a pianist, composer, and arranger based in Kentucky – most renowned for her work in Rachel's, the groundbreaking chamber-rock ensemble that introduced an entire generation of underground rock fans to the unexpected similarities and appeal of neoclassical music. Grimes has toured the world as a solo pianist, and as a collaborator with chamber ensembles such as Portland Cello Project, astrïd, Cicada, the Amsterdam Sinfonietta trio, and Orchestra Kandinskij.

Unhurried, at times fleeting, and stretching into the sky, The Clearing is a winding path of transient moments exploring personal memory, relationships, and mystery from a deeply internal place. The music is a wide spectrum of textures in strings, harp, piano, woodwinds, and percussion. Following Book of Leaves (2009), the Marion County 1938 DVD/EP (2011), the Compound Leaves EP (2013), and an album with King’s Daughters & Sons (2011), this new full-length album reveals a broad new chapter for Rachel Grimes.

Several composed pieces evolved from improvisation, such as “In the Vapor”, “The Clearing”, and “Further Foundation”. Others include captured improvisation: album highlight “The Herald”, recorded live with Jacob Duncan on saxophone and Helen Money on cello, and “The Air at Night”, a late-night meditation at a recording session in Antwerp. 

The title track, “The Clearing”, was recorded with members of the Amsterdam
Sinfonietta following a series of performances for CrossLinx Festival in spring of 2013. After the joy of working together, Grimes proposed a long-distance recording session. Evolving from a single repeated piano note, “The Clearing” begins tense and dissonant with the string trio and piano eventually arriving at a moment of relief and grace – a light in the forest – and then returning again to the material of the opening.

“Transverse Plane” was designed for SITI Company of New York for an actor training stage exercise. In two sections, the piece uses a pre-existing architecture of tempo and underlying compositional structure. The first part – “Vertical” – is a driving, orchestral texture of strings, harp, piano, oboe and saxophone with Kyle Crabtree (Shipping News) on mixed percussion. The second half – “Horizontal” – unfolds from a mist of strings with slow-moving chords and features Christian Frederickson (Rachel's) in an angular and expressive viola solo.

Inspired by the wind and sky, “The Airs” feature violinist Scott Moore. Written with a single theme and mode, the suite becomes a connective tissue for the album’s various textures. In perhaps the album's most vital collaboration, Scott Morgan (aka LOSCIL) provides the delicate processing and additional depth of field that invites outsiders to enter this fluid space for their own experience.

Its A  Trap

Desolate roads stretch across a silent expanse, guided only by flickering lights that no longer lead anywhere. Echoes linger in the underground passageways, floating between empty streets and veined alleys. Each moment feels like an unsent message, a hymn etched into the pavement, fading into static and dust. Along the way, color drains from the sky until nothing remains but a tranquil horizon where all signs disappear, and absence becomes the only language still spoken.

Between Subway Echoes

Los Angeles’ own  M|O|O|N comes through with the first track in our new singles series featuring FoF staple Sara Z on vocals! “Timestamp" represents a slice of the aesthetic we’ve cultivated at Friends of Friends over the years with a new, pathos-heavy outlook, bridging the gap between the label’s catalogue and the projects we have on the horizon.

Sandunes, real name Sanaya Aredeshir, is a producer from Mumbai - newly signed to !K7, you can file her textural, meditative sounds next to Cinematic Orchestra, Philip Glass and Bonobo. She's set to release her '11:11' EP in early September, and we're premiering the first taste - title cut 'Eleven:Eleven', below. “My fascination here isn't about the numbers itself, as much as it is about these repetitive occurrences that we’re happy to call coincidences. When I was thinking about what I should name the song, my eyes fell on the time, and it was 11:11,” she explains of the EP's title. Tune in now.

Premiere: Sandunes - 'Eleven:Eleven ft. LANDSLANDS'

LYRICS

VERSE 1
Take a look at my anatomy - it’s like I’m nature
Foolish enemy can’t get too close to me I’m danger
Heard the news, so confused, I won’t be conforming
Grateful, I’m thankful - I’m letting go

Take a risk or please just sit - why you gotta wrestle
Everybody gotta learn the hard way that’s the lesson
The humiliation feel the blow
Shadow hole
The battle of our minds – our minds

PRE-CHORUS
Free like Kings accept the call
Knowing we are able
We are facing nerves and all
Knowing we’re not failing
Freedom, freedom, freedom

CHORUS
Tension is arising
There’s no compromising
We are far from spotlight
Feel the power truth in our hearts

VERSE 2
How you flip every script
How you gonna break the news
Now where to? What’s your move?
Make it fast and leave no proof
Make no sound
Don’t take it out on me
Don’t fake it I’ll found out

How you gonna flip the plan
Try to see through
Shadows in your haunted mind
Stones won’t kill you, they will only kindle fire
Vacant heart, fall apart, hurt so hard
You holding on, holding on

PRE-CHORUS
Free like Kings accept the call
Knowing we are able
We are facing nerves and all
Knowing we’re not failing
Freedom, freedom, freedom

CHORUS
Tension is arising
There’s no compromising
We are far from spotlight
Feel the power truth in our hearts
Tension is arising (tension arising)
There’s no compromising (there’s no compromising)
We are far from spotlight
Feel the power truth in our hearts

Freedom
