ROHO - Creosote

Spanish composer Pepo Galán lands on the exquisite imprint Archives with a follow-up to the acclaimed Human Values Disappear. 
This time, the artist steps out of his comfort zone to create a record that melts the boundaries of ambient music, challenging our preconceived notion of how a drone record should sound. 

Part of the charm of Strange Parentheses lies in its seamless blend of genres, quickly shifting from early day Kranky sounds (Dead fish on the shore, In a Straight Line) to more glitch-inspired pieces (High Seas Tempest, Almost Alone in this Life). 

However, the biggest strength - and surprise - of the album lies in its delicate use of vocals. For this endeavour, Pepo recruited the talented German choreographer Sita Ostheimer, who brings her impressive vocal range to three of the album’s tracks. Sita’s symbiotic performance adds a newfound intensity to the mix, echoing the emotional resonance of artists like Grouper or Julianna Barwick. 

These refined sounds become palpable in the album’s centerpiece, S a m o a, a song that starts off with a delicate Sonic Pieces-inspired piano, gradually evolving into a soul-crushing ballad. Here, Pepo builds a wall of guitar and string sounds around Sita’s vocals, transporting us to a state of mind that is equal parts melancholic and blissful. 

This gravitational pull between darkness and hope acts as a guiding light throughout the rest of the album, eventually landing on a high note with the tear-jerking sounds of U Broke Me. By the time the pitched-down vocals fade away, it is safe to assume that Pepo Galán has produced another exquisite record, one that rivals the heights reached by Human Values Disappear, confirming him as one of the most exciting artists to watch in our modern ambient landscape.

Pepo Galán - Almost Alone In This Life

For You EP

Embers

The first full-length preview of Jupi/ter's upcoming EP!

With a string of self-released EPs under his belt, Jupi/ter brings his most crucial work yet in the form of Islands, Pt. 1. A sonic painting in muted colours, Islands sets in motion a variety of sounds as if paint on a canvas. Space, or distance, is the focus by which incoming motifs can congregate, and attention is paid more to the absence of the tangible, than to any one idea.

Nadja Lind and Helmut Ebritsch ready their fifth studio album as Klartraum
Klartraum return with their fifth studio album, ‘Manifestation’. Crafted during the pandemic lockdown from their recently refurbished studio, it is a tightly knit work that acts as a panacea for weary souls. Over eleven tracks, ‘Manifestation’ pairs Nadja Lind and Helmut Ebritsch's knack for dub slanted melodic house music with widescreen ambient space emissions.

Breaking from the quarterly release pattern that their previous albums took, ‘Manifestation’ tells a story over two halves. Keen eyes will spot the already released ‘Weltenwandler’ within the tracklisting, a subtle heater threaded with uplifting chords and a poster child for the spacebound and melodic beat led first half of the album. Towards the tail end, the album swerves into ambient drone and binaural excursions, lifting you up and taking you down.

‘Manifestation’ will be coming to Beatport next month and Bandcamp in August.
