LATHE 00 – All In The Golden Afternoon We Glide,

Preceded by several collaborative undertakings,
LATHE 00’s debut solo album is akin to an experiment in autotheory, where art-making practice and theoretical inquiry are entwined to the point of being virtually inseparable. Through the combined use of autobiographical and philosophical elements, “All in the Golden Afternoon We Glide” meditates on individuality, technology, and new forms of post-human existence. LATHE 00’s first feature is a work of rare beauty. As a one-person debut project, its stylistic variety, compositional maturity, and technical rigor are outstanding. By combining a forward-looking production style with references as varied as ambient, hyper-pop, instrumental post-rock, world-beat, and modern classical and folk music, LATHE 00 develops a mode of expression that transgresses genres and is distinctively his own. The result is a signature sound that feels equally primordial and hyper-contemporary, fleshly visceral and digitally detached. The inclusion of the artist's own vocals in the music is a notable aspect of this style. Alongside sampled materials, his non-lexical vocalizations appear as both an affirmative and negative act, simultaneously gesturing towards bodiless dissolution and a desire to reclaim one’s all-too-embodied presence in this world.

The album is released in digital format, along with a limited-edition zine conceptualised and designed by @lidiaginga and @bernardo.berga. Drawing upon a diverse array of images procured from open-source digital libraries, the zine endeavors to explore the narratives, symbolism, and hidden layers of significance interwoven within each of the album's tracks. It achieves this through a visual exploration of the four central themes that shape the record, which recur as cyclical motifs throughout both the album and the accompanying zine.
