TYSHA (Ukrainian for silence) is the second longplayer of Ukrainian-born, Poland-bread and Austria-based multi-instrumentalist and singer Katarina Gryvul. Following her enigmatic song ”In Coma”, which released in 2020 on Standard Deviation, Gryvul delivers an 8-track long album of blooming, emotional and tactile electronica pop ballads, resulting in an intensely personal journey into the artist's inner world at the most silent time of her life.

In an attempt to deal with her decaying perception of reality and the overwhelming sense of isolation caused by the experience of global pandemic, Gryvul finds refuge in silence. She is mesmerized by the all-consuming absence of sound, and the many ways in which silence can be perceived: silky, enveloping, calm, but also caustic, fractured and sharp. TYSHA was written entirely during the pandemic. Gryvul describes that being surrounded by people during that challenging period started feeling like ”a potential threat” and as something unnatural and artificial.” She says: “It made me feel like I was torn between two realities, virtual and real, and did not belong to any of them”.

TYSHA sounds imminently disturbing, yet soft, with ghostly harmonics, tempis and a wide variety of musical and lyrical influences. The album feeds from ”something that has already vanished” - a feeling of longing in a moment of uncertainty, crystallized in balladic writing and subtle elven-like soundscapes.

Gryvul, who usually works with classical instruments, now explores a more electronic sound with beats and apparent beatgrid structure, referencing the environment in which what once felt natural and organic started feeling artificial and synthetic. Varying in tempo, moods and instruments, TYSHAcreates an emotional journey, exploring different forms of silence, representing the tension between the virtual and the real world and reflecting Gryvul’s feelings of hostility and alienation in contrast with her longing for connection.

The album is supported with remixes by London-based artist Flora Yin-Wong, contributing on ”Bezodnya” with an ethereally soft and lyrically poetic rework and Belgian experimentalist Maoupa Mazzocchetti reinterpreting ”Tysha” as a gloomy, ecstatic and roaring piece for the dance floor.

SPA presents I DARE YOU II – a continuous blend of textures, chords and soundscapes by Xzavier Stone. Inspired by and following its predecessor I DARE YOU (self-released in 2022), IDY II consists of 18 individual short compositions, fused together into one unyielding soundscape. The 26-minute piece perfectly captures the gloss and sentiment of Stone’s musical world, while showcasing his versatility as a composer. Xzavier Stone has become recognizable by his subtle and deft spins on rap and RnB music and his penchant for playfulness and experimentation. The sonic palette of IDY II ranges from traditional instruments and shimmering textures to soulful sketches and fragmented piano chops, stretched into something that flawlessly integrates into the world of SPA. While the music of IDY I was combined with a room spray, IDY II now comes with incense sticks. The burn time per stick lasts approximately as long as the music plays, thus serving as a timekeeping device. The incense sticks are handmade in collaboration with In'n'out Fragrances and packaged in a gracefully crafted handmade box. Their fragrance consists of galbanum, frankincense, hinoki, coniferous needle woods, white birch tar, honey comb and muscenone. These scents will put you in a gentle trance as you listen to Stone’s classically infected ambient compositions, mutating sound objects and playful harmonic spheres, softly evoking the aromas of RnB and Jazz.
