Ryong + Eva Tind - When Trees Start To Shake [YGK018]

bootleg supersoaker (eartheater)

Ecstatic present the sublime second release from Mancunian duo Celestial, 'Listen To The Sky' offers a quiet fusion of Balearic blues and kosmische influences follows up their mesmerizing 2021 debut "I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night"'. 

Evoking a rich sonic palette of evocative guitar instrumentals with echoes of Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells and Frippertronics , Celestial deftly forge their own gentle and uncluttered fusion of acoustic and electric guitar textures with immersive environmental synthetic washes. 

Opener 'Brother Sun, Sister Moon' pairs Celestial with fellow dreamer and labelmate Romance (who also provide additional production flourishes throughout the record) for a stunning piece of modern chamber music wreathed with strident electric guitar, piano, horns and electronics, oceans of hiss bathe 'To The Green Mountains' plagent synth bass and meditative Paris, Texas esque guitar figures while 'Four Temparaments' provides an uncharacteristically but welcome clangorous and urgent new age lament. 

'Listen To The Sky's sun-drenched soundscapes and ethereal productions unfold with a kaleidoscopic and nostalgic ennui tenderly captured on fragile AGFA tap providing a mesmeric deep listening experience that skews to the mythic and trancendental.

Dive into the dark, raw, and unrelenting world of Hajj with the "Repulsive Reflections Thru This Fucking Phone Remixes" EP, a complex exploration of the sinister and the introspective. This release on Bad Tips offers a striking contrast between two distinct sonic territories, encapsulating both the chaotic energy of the club and the deeper, spiritual realms of late-night introspection.

The EP opens with four explosive remixes of "Reflections on Repulsiveness," a track originally featured on Bad Tips' "Good Vibes Vol. 1." Hajj's own VIP version amplifies the hardcore and metal elements, transforming the track into a ferocious, head-banging anthem that descends into the abyss. King Doudou then takes us to the twisted streets of São Paulo, infusing the remix with nervy, repulsive funk, while Ronce delivers a corrosive, gritty interpretation that oozes with raw intensity. The duo Vina Konda & Mortal Voracity cap off the first half with a relentless mix, blending metal, bass, and Jersey influences into an indigestible yet euphoric concoction.

The second half of the EP delves into a more introspective space with four remixes of "I Tried To Tell Ya Something Thru This Fucking Phone," originally released on BFDM in 2020. Hajj's VIP reimagines the track with a darker, more nocturnal atmosphere, shifting from the original’s early morning vibes to a late-night intensity. Ukrainian producer Comechelet follows with a remix that balances progressive, militaristic rhythms with an organic, dark shimmer. Gargantuan Collapse (Gargantuan Grief x Modern Collapse) offers a raw, nihilistic take, imbued with a bleak romanticism. Toma Kami then brings the EP to a close with an abrasive yet spiritual rendition, channeling a primal sense of urgency.

This EP doesn’t shy away from experimentation, embodying the boundary-pushing ethos of Bad Tips. Though the release is rooted in a somber, pessimistic outlook, it resonates with the audacious spirit that defines the label. Available digitally and on CD via Bandcamp, this release will also be accompanied by a limited-edition T-shirt featuring artwork by tattoo artist Pepittta. To mark the occasion, a launch event will be held at Station Gare des Mines in Paris on September 21st, featuring performances from Hajj, Vina Konda & Mortal Voracity, Gargantuan Collapse (live), Ronce, Toma Kami, and label head gboi.

Archetypical

the way the wind starts to bite us as we step outside
the impersonal pressure of her hand on mine
i know, i know, i know

the way i signal success to you with bright wide eyes
oh, that you catch a glimpse of in between strobe lights
i know, i know, i know

do you feel it?
do you feel it or don't you?
well i used to, baby
but i'm not sure i still do

do you feel it?
do these tired old lies feel true?
well i used to believe them
but i'm not sure i still do

the way we all come together as the tempo spikes
and get in line for the bathoom, two or three at a time
i know, i know, i know

in the back of a taxi at the end of the night
is it love, or intertia, or are we just tired?
i know, i know, i know

do you feel it?
do you feel it or don't you?
well i used to, baby
but i'm not sure i still do

do you feel it?
do these tired old lies feel true?
well, i used to believe them
but i'm not sure i still do

when we were young the future looked so bright
now that we're closer, we can see that it's on fire
i used to think the best was surely yet to come
and now sometimes i think i'll die before it does

do you feel it?
do you feel it or don't you?
well i used to, baby
but i'm not sure i still do

do you feel it? 
do these tired old lies feel true?
well i used to believe them
but i'm not sure i still do
