Knives are proud to present the debut release from Belgian artist Obsequies, entitled Organn. 

At its core, Organn is a record about love and duality. Taking inspiration from Isidore-Lucien Ducasse's poem 'Les Chants de Maldoror', the record is antagonistic yet often drops its temper to reveal blistered beauty within the fray. Such are the condradictory elements within the compositions themselves: widescreen claustrophobia; glimmering sludge; piercing VHS ambience.

Visuals come courtesy of French mixed-media artist, Thomas Hauser. Hauser's imagery similarly evokes retrograde surrealism and further insists on a narrative at work here, with obscured characters playing out alongside mantric piano, filmic vox and hyperspeed jungle.

From Taiwan, now based in Sydney, active in Taipei’s underground edgy scene, including Final and various guerrilla parties, In the past, they have performed alongside notable artists such as Endgame(Precious Metals), Swan Meat, Bulma(Suicide Club), and also Obelisk, one of the leading figure of Australia’s experimental dance label Nexus.

1sac’s chimeric selection absorbs the chaotic, the ambiguous, and the sacredly untouchable. Source from relentless, immortal scenes, it embodies the fractured consciousness of all audiences— a shattered mosaic of perception. 

A tender refuge shaped by the echoes of electronics, classical compositions, and bass reverberations. Caster in disguise, he weaves expansive soundscapes and electrified dance rituals, always managing to deliver atmospheric sonic landscapes and high-energy, dancefloor-ready sets, where energy surges and the atmosphere unfolds like prophecy.
