A Million Roads To Nowhere

2 years ago along with Oddrun Eikli, we made this track, not yet published. This is the basis / demo of "A new born."

Something beautiful happened (feat. Oddrun Eikli)

OVERLFLOW. A vessel. Strength, structure. Spilling over the edge. Out of our depth. Fragility, fluctuation. A deeper connection. Ugly, contradictory human-ness. Senseless fear. Desire and self-destruction. Water as the unattainable. Repetition of movement. A vessel of solitude. Contain, suppress. Expel, release. Release. Overflow.

Age Of

Manifold

Berlin by way of Norway multi-instrumentalist and producer Farao has signed to Western Vinyl.  To celebrate this announcement, we’re making her new song “The Ghost Ship” available. 

“‘The Ghost Ship’ is about losing a sense of direction, your fate being driven by something out of your control,” explains Kari Jahnsen, a/k/a Farao. “Seeing the end of a relationship as an empty vessel, floating endlessly and eternally into nothingness.”

Farao’s 2015 debut album Till It’s All Forgotten and its songs earned her press attention from outlets including Pitchfork “Jahnsen's work defies categorization and commodification at every turn”, The FADER, NPR Music, Noisey “gorgeous folk melodies and lush vocals”, Vanity Fair, Paste, Clash, and The Line Of Best Fit. She has also performed at a number of UK and European festivals such as Green Man, End of the Road, Øya, Roskilde, BY:LARM, and Eurosonic.
 
Farao is currently at work on a new album and more details will be announced soon.

Aftershock

I Just Don't Believe You

Stream / Download: https://smarturl.it/elskavon-nerves

Nerves / Familiarity is the first official start to Elskavon’s next album era, and it’s a representation not only of composer Chris Bartels’ sound over the years, but also a metaphorical look inside his mind. That is, one of contrast.

With Elskavon’s sound, there’s always been a contrast, and marriage, of grandeur and intimacy. Nerves / Familiarity is no exception.

While it starts out quiet, the listener can immediately feel the enormity of Nerves. The sustained sound is that of Bartels slowly drawing a string of yarn across his old spinet piano’s strings. Only a minute and half in, the sound is thick and full, layered with falsetto vocals fed through modular synthesizers. It hasn’t taken long to be engulfed in the grandeur. 

However, as quickly as it arrives, there’s a departure. An intimate and rhythmic cassette texture, signaled by a slow tonic modulation, foreshadows a look at the second track - the contrast.

Familiarity begins with a bed of introspective notes and textures - mostly that of high piano notes and chopped up Rhodes improvisations. There’s a certain closeness with this sound, and a contrast to the large reverb-soaked fabric that leads Nerves. Then halfway through the song, there is a short build - an encore, if you will, to the grandeur of the first track.

Much like these songs and past Elskavon albums, there is a journey of contrasts with every creative turn for Bartels, finding himself deep in a whirlwind of excitement and fear, anticipation and anxiety, inspiration and frustration. And while being fully aware of the negative sides of that whirlwind, there’s an indescribable beauty and hope in the choice to keep writing, to keep moving. And to not simply run from the negatives, but to allow them to inspire, to motivate.

A creative journey should never be easy or comfortable. If it is, the other side will most certainly be lacking in the beauty and depth it so desires.

With this next album era, Bartels is choosing to embrace the contrast.

Unfurl

ALONE. AT PARADISE

Exit Ghost

Undertow

A soft but intense lullaby where the simple and moving melody is enriched by the special felted piano sound and by the intimacy of the recording, giving to the listener the impression of sitting very close to the piano itself. A song for chilling and falling asleep that despite it’s minimalism can calm and touch your heart and soul. 

International release date: October 18th, 2019
