Lyrics:

Wake
Me up when it's too late
When I've become a waste
I'll float and let it break
Exhale and turn away
I've seen two separate ways
One smiles the other aches
I've watched, I'll float, I'll stay
Away

It's a big wave
Feels like an earthquake
Is it the moonlight that makes my heart ache?
It makes me shiver
It makes my bones shake
And I seek shelter in the nightshade
'Cause when it haunts me
At least I'll be safe
You'll hear me howling
'Till the night breaks
Until the moon drowns, until the stars fade
And when the night comes
I'll be in retrograde

Yeah I'll be
At a place where
Where the moonlight
Doesn't chase me
Yeah I'll be
Covered away from
All the tears that
Fill my face (yeah)
And I'll be howling
'Till the night breaks
'Till the sun sets and all the stars fade
Can feel my life slip
Into a new day
And when the dawn lifts
I'll hope I'll be awake

Yeah it's a big wave
Feels like an earthquake
Is it the moonlight that makes my heart ache?
It makes me shiver
It makes my bones shake
And I seek shelter in nightshade
'Cause when it haunts me
At least I'll be safe
And I'll be howling
'Till the night breaks
Until the moon drowns and the stars fade
To the see the new light
Of a waking day

The 21st release in the katharsis discography is the EP “broken mirror resonance” by the 19-year-old Brazilian artist brescia, coming out on April 25th. The EP explores the hypnotic state one can enter after a night of clubbing with vivid melodies and emotional memories reverberating inside your mind. By mixing pop-inspired vocal-loops with nostalgic trancey synths, the artist seeks to create an open field for the listener to spiral into a mesmerizing state of katharsis. The vibrations of the music resonate like a broken mirror of your mind, letting feelings pass and keep them burning like mantras, constantly transforming.

The young artist has already done multiple releases on the Brazilian label Gorfinho Records as brescia and with this duo agito apático alongside e6c41, focusing more on experimental rap lyrics combined with a reinforcing of hauntology by deconstructing dense nostalgic tape loops. On this EP, the artist clearly takes a step in a more digitally focused approach and vision, creating a nuanced work of modern ambient trance, though still with a hint of nostalgia.

The 22nd release of katharsis is the album “Jester” by the Finnish duo Running, coming out on May 16th. The album unfolds an emotional and mythological tale of an imaginary terrain in an alternate time and realm with the Jester as the protagonist. Throughout the eight tracks, the listener is presented with a sonic world of tragic, sadness, beauty and even comedy by the duo’s poignant style of melodious ambient compositions.

Running’s “Jester” follows their last album “For Us By Us”, released on the Finnish label True Aether in 2018. On this release, the group seem to thrive with a conceptual and almost narrative backdrop for their creative outpourings. As Running have earlier been known for their very energetic and experimental live-performances, and as both members have indulged musically in other projects spanning from hardcore punk to contemporary performance art, it will be exciting to see where the duo goes from here.

Violence is the self-titled third album from Baltimore born/ New York based artist, multi-instrumentalist, and cult figure Olin Caprison. Their compositions are known for vivisecting and seamlessly merging the idiosyncratic features of hip-hop, metal, RnB, and electronica, creating a language all their own. Complex soundscapes and haunted vocals that result in feelings of emotional extremes, from fear and loathing to elation and ecstasy.

Otro - Dance Of The Young (Augurs Of Spring)

Spirit captures my life at a place where I didn’t know how to approach the artistic direction for my album as well as my personal life. I was stuck in a cycle of bad habits and hardly left the house. 

With a sudden burst of creativity at 2 am, I created the demo in one night and realized how special it was for the foundation of my album. All of the sudden I found new sonics and sounds to use within my music. This was the first demo that I felt confident for my album, and it cinematically made my music feel larger than life. That’s where that title comes from. 

Although I was stuck in a mold infested apartment battling respiratory infection after respiratory infection, the song created a sense of freedom for me.
