For Dutch artist Stefan Vincent, the feeling of melancholy also offers the opportunity for beauty to be found. “Decay and loneliness can serve a purpose. Depression can teach you things. To feel deep sadness also means the ability to feel profound emotions.” he says. With this in mind, his debut album on MUSAR Recordings, “Post-Melancholy”, unpacks the twists and turns of grappling with this emotion, drawing from breaks, electro and IDM to make his most intricate work to date, after previous releases on Token, Dynamic Reflection, Symbolism, and Non-Series.

Throughout “Post-Melancholy” Vincent traces the wave of melancholy and how it moves through the body, which allows for lighter moments alongside darker moods. Perhaps the lightest track on the album is its acidic-breaks opener, “Eyes Unclouded”, with its soaring acid lines and dazzling synths, which acts as a false pretense for the rest of the album. Tracks like “Poise”, “Arpeggino” and the meditative “Yonghegong Lama Temple Exit F” also break up the intensity. However, nestled between the more pacey, bass-weighted tracks on the album, these lighter openings still feel like tear-jerkers.

The more common associations of melancholy show up on tracks like “Another Skin To Wear” and “You Know This Isn’t Going To End Well”, which all create a more ominous feel via IDM and the polyrhythmic structures of drum’n’bass. Particularly on “Another Skin To Wear”, which borrows its name from a Radiohead lyric, the track's swooping motion feels realistic to melancholy’s chaotic and often unpredictable path. But, like all great storytellers, Vincent leaves the most poignant moment of the album for last with the rolling “8AM on the Train… (For Maarten)” devoted to his dear friend, Maarten, who sadly passed away at the young age of 36.

This LP is dedicated to Maarten de Vries (1986-2022)

MUSAR019 // Stefan Vincent - Post Melancholy

Kevin Murf (@come-in-3), który macha do nas prosto z Warszawy, jest znany jako utalentowany producent, artysta wizualny i selektor. My korzystamy przede wszystkim z jego ostatniego skilla -- jako wielokrotny gość wydarzeń w ŚLINIE zaprosiliśmy go do nagrania dwunastego odcinka podcastu.

A w tym podcaście? Głównie brain food, muzyka dzięki której poczujemy się inteligentniejsi. Zakres moodów też jest bardzo skrajny, od mocnego niepokoju, przez intensywną energię, aż po ciepłą i słoneczną muzę. Mówiąc gatunkami, ten godzinny podcast zawiera w sobie gorące dancehalle, eksperymentalny bas oparty na masujących niskich częstotliwościach, wokalne zabawy w rapie oraz zmuszające do myślenia ambiento-jazzy. 

obowiązkowy must listen!
