An album written during 2016-2017, released in 2021.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Heaven Junk once shined like a beacon of light. Sat in the center of a sprawling desolate plain known as The Barren, the structure was built out of desperation and a collective longing for something new. The haven was something meant to conjure a sense of hope, hope in a future that seemed nonexistent before.

The terra surrounding The Barren hadn't existed for sometime. It had been engulfed by the blistering threat that Heaven Junk was built to repel, a noxious sea of matter cascading across the earth, bound to encompass everything. The matter seemed destined to claim and engulf the planet like a virus.

Junk's populace had lost their ability to dream, to see potential in others and themselves before finding residence in the space. These abilities still waned in and out over time, a trend that drew collective concern. Members constantly found themselves just short of breakthroughs. Hope came in waves.

On the tenth edition of the DISPLAYSOLO series we find Sebby Kowal exploring and deconstructing noir urban soundscapes with four long-form tracks. An impressive knitting of pensive droning movements and dark, mechanically decorated field recordings that feels just as at home during a midnight bus ride as it does during your next rewatch of Alien.

DISPLAYRADIO-029: Alight

DISPLAYRADIO-029: Alight (ft. Kid Smpl)

The twelfth edition of the DISPLAYSOLO series finds the London-based artist, Mirror Organs sculpting two eyes-down ambient rollers suited as much for late night urban wanderings as they are a dark, sub-frequency filled club. Both tracks meld floaty synths and ice cold atmospheres with churning, cyclical low end rhythms, creating a blend that's ultimately just as much hypnotic as it is dynamic.

Mirror Organs - The Earth Spins Inside Of You

Out now - https://displayseries.bandcamp.com/album/027-028-burning-pyre-kid-smpl

DISPLAY’s first split tape release of 2024 features two pieces by the artist Burning Pyre: one solo and one in collaboration with the label’s founder, Kid Smpl.

The release begins with the nearly 18 minute long solo track “Healthcare.” A meditative piece that mutates from washed out dronescapes to crystal clear synth constructions all emblematic of the artist’s pensive and imaginative style. On the B-Side we find “Peradam” a shimmering, snow-blinded collaboration that highlights both of the artists’ melodic sensibilities.
