The 43rd release of katharsis is the album “Love Language” by the Danish artist icfam. It is evocative like a long makeout session, tongue action specifically. icfam celebrates the long journeys to daydreamy destinations on a record that is romantic and peaceful, yet at times highly energetic.

Through streamlined synthesis and arrangements, icfam produces a composite world of sound that carries a message of love and simplicity. Despite the meticulous care for sound design on this record, the use of intuitive sounds and phrases so simple, sometimes approaches a sort of mindlessness. Building conceptually on sinewaves as the only sound that really exists, the artist develops a nonfragmented illusion through obsession over the harmonic series and melodies within melodies.

Love Language is both reassuring and mystifying, like your favourite lullaby. As well as intoxicatingly painful like exquisite torture. icfam wants to express a special feeling one might get from going to the hospital. A cathartic feeling of being safe and held.

If you’ve fallen from above
You’re walking with your woes
If there’s nowhere to run
The happy hospital

The album CLEMENCY holds exceptional significance for CHARITY SsB, as it represents not only a music collection but also his bold venture and evolution in the realm of music production. This album signifies his transformation from a rapper into a versatile music producer. Moreover, it marks his first formal album after years of collaboration with the renowned Shanghai electronic music label GENOME 6.66 Mbp.

CLEMENCY comprises ten diverse tracks, each capturing CHARITY SsB's life reflections and musical insights at various points in time. From 2020's Only One and The Meaning of Life to Wood House and Zhuangzi created during Shanghai's lockdown in 2022, these tracks span several years, showcasing his creative depth and rich emotional world.

The album's title, CLEMENCY, embodies a profound philosophy. CHARITY SsB believes that in a world filled with desire, conflict, and war, and within the complexities of societal systems, music is a divine gift of mercy and solace to humanity. Music creation is his sole pathway to experiencing true freedom and spiritual liberation. It holds significant meaning in his life, serving as his soul's sanctuary and the pillar of his spirit.

Many tracks in the album, such as the nearly ten-minute-long Wood House and the ambient-rich Courier, display intricate segment connections and rich musical layers. These songs resemble unique journeys, with each journey offering distinct life meanings. Through these musical works, CHARITY SsB conveys his profound insights into life and his boundless passion for music. To him, music is like a utopia of the spiritual world, providing him with endless solace and inspiration.

Full EP out on August 25th

‘Necromorph’ is an ode to the horror game series Dead Space and a sonic exploration of club survival. From sampling gameplay, cutscenes, trailers etc to create a maelstrom of hard hitting cadences reflecting the protagonist's journey battling reanimated horrors and ultimately trying and failing to reclaim a love lost.

This two-track EP is the crystallisation of years of collaborative experimentation between ambient/trance producer Azrel and vocalist renko. This dualistic pair of ballads explores the cycle of the night as it mirrors the recurrence of life, hoping one day for change. The pairing of delicate pianos, strings and pads with the raw euphoric power of trance leads and arpeggios creates the emotive atmosphere of the twilight as a base for renko's pained yet sanguine vocals to shine through.
