Trappy introspection lifted from @angelicaamusic and firstcirclemusic’s @bodymotion debut.

‘AFC2’ marks the return of a potent alliance. Building on the promise of their initial link up in 2022, the duo conjure four woozy meditations on urban malaise. 

The sense of nostalgic longing palpable, angelicaa’s vocal incantations maintain an apparitional presence. Where its counterparts inhabit shoe gaze zones, our pick, ‘Moonrise’, brings a different kind of heads-down pressure.

‘AFC2’ is out May 19th on Body Motion.

Agar Agar - Odile ( Juna XXL Remix )

Artist: IN THE SUN
Album: Dawn
Format: Digital / Tape
Cat.No: CHI049
Master: IN THE SUN
Artwork: Saphy Vong
Release Date: 24.09.24

Pounding traditional drums and grinding synths herald Dawn, the new album from post-industrial Tokyo duo IN THE SUN, their first release on Chinabot.

Dawn was inspired by the musical traditions and wild mountain landscapes of composer TIDEPOOL’s childhood in rural Japan. Layers of ethereal synthesizers and wailing saxophones by Kim Pueru evoke the mist and granite of mountains are beaten with rhythms that hit like shattering rocks.

The record “embodies a fusion of synthetic and percussive elements, evoking both mysticism and raw energy,” says TIDEPOOL. “The juxtaposition of dystopian undertones and the resilience of nature serves as a thematic backdrop, reflecting on societal shifts and personal introspection.”

Dawn’s instrumentation may be inspired by Japanese taiko drums and African percussion, but it remains extremely contemporary, with swirling rhythms of singeli, juke, footwork, gabber, and minimal to create an evil cacophony. The album also nods to the GORGE movement, which is experiencing a resurgence in Japan.

TIDEPOOL describes the record as an “epic poem.” This is evident on Twilight, where urgent synths and nimble per- cussion makes you wonder what Akira would have looked like set in on a mountain range instead of in Tokyo.

On Voidance, bells, drums and saxophone are whipped up onto a violent stormwhich builds and crashes repeatedly, a powerful statement of intent from one of Tokyo’s most exciting contemporary acts.

About IN THE SUN:

Organized by TIDEPOOL since 2011, IN THE SUN has a fluid lineup, with Kim Pueru joining on tenor saxophone for Dawn. TIDEPOOL utilizes ethnic drums, synthesizers, and laptops and is influenced and inspired by artists such as Haruomi Hosono, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Throbbing Gristle, Geinoh Yamashirogumi, CAN, among others.
They supported Baltimore duo Matmos during their Japan tour and organized the party known as “RAW TEMPO” at Bushbash.

Replace Truth by Trance is an experimental all original music mix by @Nkisi about the importance of personal performative narrative as a way to re-enchant the world.
This composition draws its inspiration from the exhibition "visionary company" by the artist Wu Tsang.

"The way in which our memory seems to function,
is in the form of an image.
To speak of remembering what never happened,
since nothing is known unless somebody does.
How do you know?
Change of sight,
if just for the twisted and the woke.
Again and again and again,
Rejecting.
Otherworldly,
as if transmitted from another dimension."
Nkisi
