Much like the incessant need to overthrow the human charade of Zombietunes; to save the universe from condemning the human race with an eternal sanction

Easel Practice 7 - 12 - 22

Once again, we’re excited to unveil another Polaroid Notes release, the fourth album by this Germany based artist in our discography. Alongside his side-project as Kraut Sounds, editions have also appeared on labels such as Büro Für Erdrotation, Weber & Alcantu and his own label Drone Works International.

In this latest edition ‘Cloud Anthems’, the music takes influence from the packaging photography, which was taken by the artist one sunny January at the Riegsee, a small lake in front of the Bavarian Alps. The entire lake had frozen over due to low temperatures in the weeks before. Later that afternoon fog rolled in and together with the sun, the frozen lake and leafless trees made a wonderful contrast. The whole scenario lasted only a few minutes before everything disappeared into the clouds of dense fog. As beautiful as the whole day was, those few moments were something very special to behold.

Polaroid Notes enjoys these contrasts, both in nature and in music too. ‘Cloud Anthems’ is a series of unique contrasts that harmonise perfectly, remaining in mind for a while after they have passed. Piano sounds and loops interact with flashes of harsh energy and strange experimental sounds from old analog synthesizers. A particular focus for this record is the VCS3 synthesiser, a portable synth from the late 60s; whilst a digital replica was used here, the artist found this to be the perfect way to express the themes for this record. Sounds and melodies flow into each other spontaneously like colours of an abstract painting, layer by layer.

For me this track is about how once someone close to you passes, how their time stops and suddenly they become contained in the past. And the chasm in time between you and them continues to increase

Last Days' (AKA Graham Richardson) music explores personal themes of stasis and flux, escape and acceptance. Growing up in Northumberland (UK), Richardson pursued music sporadically, before shifting his focus to study graphic design. In February 2006 he was discovered by the n5MD imprint, resulting in the release of Last Days debut album Sea shortly after.
With an approach both abstract and melodic, lo-fi and hi-tech, and despite its largely digital origins, Last Days' music sounds all-together human - n5MD
