superb the change of rhythmic feel with the chime sounds!

In a vague coalescing of producers and scenes in the late 1990s, the worlds of fuzzy, reverb laden indie rock and drum & bass fused on projects by artists like Bowery Electric and Flying Saucer attack.

Faith

First Iota (feat. Angelina Nonaj)

Roughly two years after the release of their initial statement of intent, debut single “Toutpartout PT2” with its hypnotic ripples, Andi Haberl and Florian Zimmer aka Bella Wakame have successfully channeled the magic of a 2024 live recording (captured at Berlin’s Donau115 & Silent Green) into their first proper studio offering. You can hear inspirations ranging from Bitchin Bajas, Jeremiah Chiu to Groupshow (Jelinek, Leichtmann, Pekler), the hypnotic, intricate battle between form and freedom (the fun of momentary formlessness) continues to unfold over the course of 10 new tracks, featuring album guest Indra Dunis (Peaking Lights). Their first single "Shadows of Nambei" was very much inspired by the wonderful band Spirit Fest and their song "Nambei".

You can either shorten the reins, or you can loosen them – and give things more slack. With Bella Wakame, it’s definitely the latter. Constantly challenging each other, they’re tapping a whole new energy. Tons of different energies.

Based on the impulsive, propulsive interplay between drums/sensory percussion (Andi Haberl) and modular synthesizer (Florian Zimmer), the frenzied, free-form results take listeners into completely new dimensions – sonic worlds that don’t really sound anything...  more

“Corrosiv” by Orchestroll is out 05.30.25.

Preorder the 2x vinyl LP and listen to the first single ‘Velvet Myst’ featuring Heith on our Bandcamp. 

"Velvet Myst" marks the most overtly melodic offering on Corrosiv. A mirage of clarity inside a collapsing system. Rooted in a skewed sense of wellness culture, the track traces a contour from the fetish of regeneration to the abyss of self-erasure. Skincare regimes, biohacking rituals, influencer doctrines fall apart under the weight of a body made porous by microplastics and spectral trust. Through synthetic vocals that stretch and gloss over time, paired with Heith’s disembodied presence processed to near-infancy, "Velvet Myst" slips into a faded Americana shoegaze palette that lingers there—pale, fragrant, near-catatonic.

"Velvet Myst" unfolds in a glaze of petroleum heat, wellness vernacular, landscapes bleached with pessimism. Rejuvenation rituals curl into themselves, skin pulled taut across synthetic promise, the body swelling with trace chemicals and distant voices. Youth loops back unnaturally. Conviction thins; gloss settles over wreckage... An immaculate wound, lit from within.

The record features additional contributions from Heith as well as collaborations with Jiyoung Wi, Habib El Bardi, Bernardino Femminielli and VISIO and is mastered by Stephan Mathieu at Schwebung Mastering.

PLAY 1 :: DADA SALON 
Friday, May 29 - Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal

Montréal-based musician and composer Kara-Lis Coverdale gives concerts made for full body immersion, multi layered through multi timbral synths, her computer a virtual organ engine. Couched in symphonic, post sacred tonalities and harmonies, the music on Coverdale’s releases Aftertouches (on Sacred Phrases) and A 480 (on Constellation Tatsu) uses virtual sounds from vocal and instrumental sources to confront traditional genres and consolidate them in the artist’s own precise ways. Currently an organist and music director at St. John’s church in Montréal, Coverdale contributed piano and keyboards on friend and mentor Tim Hecker’s Virgins album in 2013 and most recently has collaborated with LXV (musician David Sutton) on their 2015 album, released by Umor Rex. Her live set for MUTEK 2015 draws on that album and recent compositions of pipe organ, sensorial electronics and glittering drones while leaving room for inspired improvisation.
