The long awaited debut from Texas-based electronic duo BOAN has finally arrived, at last bringing their unique incarnation of minimalist synth-pop to an eager and international cult following. BOAN consists of José Cota (SSLEEPERHOLD) and Mariana Saldaña (ex - //TENSE//) who, outside of their lauded individual creative efforts, are widely known as two thirds of the now defunct electro-trio Medio Mutante. MM's critically acclaimed 2008 EP Inestable was released by Cititrax, an imprint of the illustrious Minimal Wave Records, and was the first modern album allowed into the label's celebrated cannon of classic reissues. On BOAN's highly anticipated debut LP Mentiras, Cota & Saldaña continue to deconstruct, sharpen, and enhance their idiosyncratic cold wave tradition by using all hardware electronics to sequence and arrange infectious live dance music. Cota's vivid analog compositions form a solid foundation for Saldaña's indelible and predominantly Spanish vocals to sink into, reflecting a unique confluence of Texas' vibrant electronic music scene with its rich and inextricable history of Hispanic culture.

BOAN - MENTIRAS (HD030) 05. Mentiras

Coldwave / darkwave debut album by San Fransisco based producer Gabriel Ramos.

While the band has gone through a few lineup changes Ssleeping Desiress has essentially remained the brainchild of Gabriel Ramos, who is now the sole member. Ssleeping Desiress is certainly a gem in the electronic underground, the album runs along the boundaries between minimal synth, coldwave, and electro with lyrical themes being gentrification, coping with death, artistic drive and confusion and the ephemeral nature of relationships.

The only Ssleeping Desiress release so far was the great A Voice / Sister 7inch on the FlexiWave label in 2012. They also appeared on numerous new new wave compilations in the last couple of years. The self-titled album presented here takes the project to the next level. Kicking off with an echoing voice over repetitive drums and outbursts of synths & guitars, slowly moving towards a more darkwave sound on the second half of the album.

Gabriel Ramon started making solo recordings while living in Portland, Oregon around 2005. Being inspired by the culminating factors of the DIY drive of the city, hosting live shows at his house, which frequently would host friends' bands from San Francisco and his growing fascination and voracious consumption of music: "I can really trace it to the first time Spector Protector played at my house and getting a tape afterwards from one of the two members, Eric Davis. That and being freshly exposed to groups like Suicide and Arthur Russell was very inspirational to begin recording music on my own, though it is something I had done fairly aimlessly since high school. I make an effort and try and change my process as much as I can (usually through collaboration) and vary the instrumentation. I try and incorporate a late 70s punk vibe, a marriage of dub and krautrock repetition and cavernous space. Definitely not always successful but that is what is usually running through my head when I create music for this band."

Sento, sento ancora urlare. 
Sento, sento un vuoto al petto. 
Sento, sento respirare. 
Sento, sento un corpo sul mio letto. 
Sento urlare nella notte, 
risposte cercate nel buio. 
Sento un vuoto al petto, 
rumore di tacchi e l'ansia che si estende. 
Sento respirare sul mio collo, 
è tutto molto freddo, 
non è reale. 
Sento un corpo sul mio letto, 
vengo trascinato, 
c'è vento in me. 
Quante altre volte dovrò svegliarmi da un incubo? 
La morte esiste.

Nos dejasteis atrás, en el 46. 
Nos dejasteis atrás, como a una mierda. 
Y ahora los jóvenes. 
El peso sobre nuestros hombros.

excerpt from "Nuit Blanche" LP
https://peineperdue.bandcamp.com/

L'HOMME TOTAL EST EN JEU
ATTIRÉ PAR L'AMOUR
COMME LE FER PAR L'AIMANT

ET LE FAIRE SANS AIMER?
VOILÀ LES LOIS SOLIDES DU TEMPS
QUE RIEN NE PEUT DÉCHIRER

MACHINES AVEUGLES
MACHINES OUVERTES

LE RESTE EST SIMULACRES
QUI TROMPENT L'ESPRIT
PENDANT LA NUIT

LA HONTE EST MA RÉVOLUTION
COEUR NOIR ET MASQUE BLANC
D'UNE MACHINE À VERTIGE

MACHINES AVEUGLES
MACHINES OUVERTES

OH LE MALHEUR D'AVOIR ÉTÉ ENFANT
VOILÀ LES LOIS SOLIDES DU TEMPS
L'HOMME TOTAL EST UN JEU

MON JUGE NATUREL
AUSSI PUR QUE PUISSANT
EST À JAMAIS CACHÉ

COEUR NOIR ET MASQUE BLANC
D'UNE MACHINE À VERTIGE
ATTIRÉ PAR LA MORT

"Parallel Locations" ▲

Was I caught in your dreams ?
Did you find me there -
behind your door ,
behind your back ,
behind your mirror ?

Am I an object you observe?
Could you see me ? 
Could you ?

Was I caught in your dreams ?
Did you find me there -
being you ,
being me ,
being someone more ,
someone true ?

Am I an object you observe ?
Could you see me ?
Could you ?
Was I caught in your dreams ?
Did you find me there -
talking , crying , laughing ,
trying -
to find you !
Catch me !
This time ,
lie down and
catch me .﻿
