Sleaford Mods - Jobseeker (Teaser)

From KR046 Qoa - Asteroide
https://krutrecords.bandcamp.com/album/asteroide
Qoa is Nina Corti's symbiot through which readings of alien flora, fauna and fable are relayed through swirling layers of texture and melodies. The lore of life on asteroids is mysterious, symbolic and playfully transcendental ~ through music, the rocks tell their story, charmingly and ineffably so.
Artwork by Ernesto Gonzalez
Released November 24, 2021

Qoa - Flora

From KR047 Vlubä - रंग से परे जाओ
https://krutrecords.bandcamp.com/album/-
Extraterrestrial frequencies manifest on the spectrum bridging sound and light in vlubä's cosmic kingdom music. The beings that scurry, chirp and squeak are of the same undetermined provenance as the colors that they leave in their trail - colors to follow, overtake and become one with.
Artwork by Ernesto Gonzalez
Released November 24, 2021

Vlubä -  रंग से परे जाओ (Go Beyond Color)

From KR050 Új Bála - Mag​á​ba Roskad és Feh​é​r T​ö​rp​é​vé Alakul
https://krutrecords.bandcamp.com/album/mag-ba-roskad-s-feh-r-t-rp-v-alakul
There lies an unlikely path to the cosmos through deeply dug Hungarian tunnels, where Új Bála's technoesque formulations tug and guide the unassuming into a primitive yet ever-expanding field of contorted waves. Hear the tumbling stars in their contained spheres, for the samplings of their dust in this pounding trajectory will leave no body immobile.

GLIDING MINIMALISM FROM ZONES OF SCATTERED TWILIGHT

Refracted electronics turn inwards to reveal dormant harmonies in a glistening musical spectrum: such is the path chosen by Amédée De Murcia’s Zone Bleue. Known for the dark and dissonant electronics of his Somaticae alter ego, as well as his part in duos Balladur (with Romain de Ferron) and OD Bongo (with C_C), Amédée probes an arena of minimalism that feels like a synthetic orchestra high on emotional turmoil, a musical interpretation of blue skies on a computer background, an AI trying and failing its non-hand at New York School comps, or an improbable nursery room vibe instigated by the touching silliness of machines wanting to emulate the warmth of trumpets, accordions or the human voice. Steve Reichian time stamps and Raymond Scottesque dreaminess take the listener surfing over waves of lapis-lazuli and ultramarine, going deep into a zone of scattered twilight. Perhaps Zone Bleue is just the soundtrack to some forgotten software that Somaticae found on an old hard drive; we might never see it live, but whatever we’re listening to lives its own life.

DE NEUS VAN GOD - BACK TO KRAAK

SHADOWY FIGMENTS OF UNRELENTING SONIC SEEKINGS
The magic lantern music of Razen spirals into ever more fanatic territory with the addition of turntablist Guilhem All from Brest. Vietnamese flute, oscillator, chopped-up vinyls and a range of uncomfortable techniques bring about a series of sandblown, rock-encrusted desert mirages.

Sea Urchin - PROMO Yaqaza Album (out on KRAAK)

Another track from Köhn's new album 'Kreis Plön', out on KRAAK, on the 9th of June. Pre-order at kraak.bandcamp.com.

Almost 20 years ago Jürgen De Blonde debuted on KRAAK with the nowadays unfindable and almost visionary album köhn 1. It was the starting point for a vital and wondrous exploration that lead him over paths of glitch, idm, shoe gaze, hypnagogic pop, improvised music, straight forward synth music, field recordings and kraut. 

In the middle of this ungraspable adventure through contemporary electronic music, Köhn stands as a genuine artist that stayed true to the curious spirit of the DIY knob twiddling and boggling boy he once was. 

KRAAK is proud to present his 7th album on KRAAK — Kreis Plön, which documents and envisions 20 years of exploring. It’s an album that is about a fusion of the past and the future, of separation and reconfiguration, of mourning and rejoicing, of noise and peace. Kreis Plön is about geolocation. It’s about probable fiction and looking for bits of different puzzles that fit together. An exercise in linear and perpendicular coherence devoid of any objective logic. 

In the middle of the album an artist is envisioning his place in the Now, questioning how or when he got there, as he links memories to imaginary places, and real places to imaginary histories. Kreis Plön stands as such a masterpiece that bluntly envisions the future of electronic music.

Vica Pacheco - Boca Arriba

From KR026 Umami
https://krutrecords.bandcamp.com/album/umami
Tasty morsels drawn out and molded into a hyperreal sensory bomb. From Argentina to every virtual coast, Aylu hurls out seesawing ricochets of tingling sound bites, gulped up bass lines, and free-floating cosmic segments merged into straight-shooting closers in a collaged culinary adventure.
