e O is the shared moniker of sibling artists eleu and Olson, whose debut self-titled album ‘e O’ arrives as a beautifully blurred portrait of two inner worlds colliding. Raised on parallel but distinct soundtracks, their collaboration captures the hazy overlap of childhood memory and present-day influence—filtered through a language all of their own.

The record shimmers at the edges of genre, folding together fragments of ambient pop, left-field R&B, experimental electronics, and traces of shoegaze. Olson’s production is built from gently layered textures that ricochet and swell, creating a sense of movement that feels both precise and ineffable, while eleu navigates the album with intimate, delicate vocals. It’s music that feels like stepping into a dream already in progress.

e O draws from a palette of softness and distortion, of digital haze and real-world textures, echoing those in-between hours where clarity and feeling drift in and out of focus. A work of intuition and subtle transformation, this is a debut that doesn't introduce itself loudly—but lingers long after.

Muuma is the artistic moniker of Allan Fournier, a Paris-based producer and music curator. Since the late 2010s, he has been releasing music under this name and composing soundtracks for films. With each project, Allan ventures into new directions, seeking an alchemical balance between fragmented forms and a soothing atmosphere.

In his monthly show Garden of Motion on Leipzig’s Sphere Radio, he dismantles catchy pop melodies and reassembles them into an experimental ambient-drone tapestry.

Resina is the alias of Karolina Rec, a cellist/ composer based in Warsaw, who signed to 130701 having sent in this album as a hugely impressive demo late last year. A very accomplished performer with a background in Polish underground music, this eponymous album is her solo debut and sees a rich, atmospheric re-imagining of a Polish music rooted in a feeling for indigenous nature / landscape and realised via an intuitive, experimental approach to playing.

A fantastic debut release, ‘Resina’ is an immersive and deeply enchanting album, which unveils a unique and striking new talent.

One of the themes of this album is, I would say, dawn, new beginnings, taking the first steps on a new journey and so on, and many of the sounds used on it were recorded early in the morning. Several feature water, be it rain or a gently burbling forest stream. The recorded sounds were then processed in various ways to create soundscapes which hopefully have something of the life and organic feel of nature in them. A commentator online once described my Snufmumriko music as ”soundscape cloth woven from field recordings” or something along those lines, and i think that’s an apt description. There’s also an almost spiritual dimension to these tracks, and I was often in a very introspective mood as I created them.

Snufmumriko - Wellspring (Out Now)

Over several years, Guenter Schlienz has graced labels such as Constellation Tatsu, Sacred Phrases, S.I.N.K. CDs, SicSic, Preservation so we are very excited here at Rural Colours to be added to that list with his latest work Peace.

After noticing that several friends had begun to end emails marked 'Peace', Guenter Schlienz, ever full of questions, started to ponder on the meaning of the word in this context.  Around the same time he started to read Henry Miller's book 'The Collossus of Maroussi' and was intrigued by a couple of paragraphs devoted to exactly this question: what is "the meaning of peace". He came to the conclusion that there is much more to "peace" than just the absence of war.  The albums track titles are words by Henry Miller, and the work is Guenter's humble attempt to gather sounds and atmospheres around those lines.

Using modular synths combined with tape loops, analog and digital delays, vintage electronic organ and guitar, Schlienz works within a romantically inward looking framework, creating music that comes from deep within.  His compositions reflect themes of tenderness, alienation and homecoming and feature a range of guest musicians including Masako Kamikawa (piano on  'Reverberation of the Pandemonium') and Niko Lazarakopoulos (guitar on 'Faint Whispers') and even an anonymous busker from the streets of Stuttgart on 'Who Put the Demons There?'

inspired by henry miller's book "the collossus of maroussi". / "i never knew the meaning of peace until i arrived at epidaurus ".
