Evita Manji - Body/Prison
Label: PAN
Cat.No.: PAN 136S
Format: DL
Release Date: 05 December 2022
Purchase: PAN.lnk.to/Body_Prison

'Body/Prison' the first single of Evita Manji's forthcoming debut album 'Spandrel?' is out now.

In evolutionary biology, the term spandrel refers to the features of an organism that aren't developments for survival, and seemingly possess no obvious purpose. The word is taken from an architectural label for the triangular spaces in the corner of an arch: small aesthetic elements that provide symmetry and demarcate boundaries. Musician and vocalist Evita Manji asks an opaque question on their debut album, wondering in the face of immense loss what elements of ourselves might be for endurance, and what might just be decoration. Their tracks, pieced together from the vapors of contemporary club music, baroque pop, and experimental sound design, are a way for Manji to examine their relationship with the world at large and within, disassembling systems of control and highlighting interconnectedness.

Manji has been an ethereal presence on the scene for the last few years, collaborating with numerous artists as both a sound artist and a creative director. Last year, they launched their own platform myxoxym, where they debuted two singles from "Spandrel?" and assembled an ambitious fundraiser compilation featuring Rainy Miller, Palmistry, Cecile Believe and others, raising money for Greek wildlife fund ANIMA. Performing across the world at festivals such as Unsound, Lunchmeat, and Rhizom, Manji has also appeared at clubs in Berlin and London, and was picked to represent the Shape+ platform in 2022. These experiences teem through "Spandrel?", helping them weave a complex artistic tapestry that seeks to look far beneath the surface of existence, attempting to balance the doom of global climate meltdown with themes of self-actualization, love, and bodily autonomy.

The album opens on the title track, an introductory précis that prepares listeners for what they're about to hear. Manji's vocals hum with a plugged-in sense of cybernetic melancholia, filtering the world's barrage of rhythms and harmonic themes into lithe, clubwise pop that's buoyed by their advanced sonics. From there, we're wrenched into the sadness of atmospheric lament 'Pitch Black', a meditation on death that submerges deep bass beneath layers of choral bliss, evoking the church and the dancefloor without sacrificing the power of each polar element. Their darkness is pushed from the inside to the outside on 'Oil/Too Much’, a commentary on the oil industry from the perspective of the animal kingdom that doubles as a neon-hued expression of contemporary depression. But it's on 'Body/Prison’ where Manji sounds most naked, speaking honestly about their life's darkest moments and confessing their deepest feelings over searing trance-inspired synths and grotesque percussion.

"Spandrel?" is an album that takes time to unravel, and Manji's themes resonate through history that's older than pop music. It's tragic, romantic, and poetic, and resolutely refuses to turn away from the era's most urgent concerns.

there was a time when Minecraft on creative mode was literally the most sacred place to be and “The Untold Saga” immediately transfers me to that profound memory.

i’m writing this note listening to “Saga” on my Apple Computer and the feeling of overwhelming, excitement is just so explicit.
with digital, almost angelic, Miyazaki Philharmonia Apu is inviting us into their layered, silky smooth, yet crunchy and granular world where everything is changing with each gesture. pure, flowing orchestra is so vibrant i can almost touch it. immersive sound design can be so bright i can almost see it.

i’m addicted to fidget toys and this EP happened to kinda be another one of mine. it’s Ghibli-like, full-of-surprises narrative without compromises refers to bubblegum club music, as well as enters into deeply personal soundtrack areas.

oh and btw can you imagine it's a debut EP?

'This album is the conclusion of my time as CRRDR, to be honest I wasn't planning on releasing any more music this year however considering what happened with TRAAA with some tracks downloaded from platforms due to licensing and copyright issues. I think the time has come to go out and make songs with samples and close another scene as an artist and as a person.
It's time to move on, so I'm going to leave all the tracks I had here, such as edits, remixes and samples of other tracks, to leave this part behind and let what should happens happen.
Right now I feel tired and speechless, thanks to those who support me.' - CRRDR
