"Hekla pulls haunting electronic music out of thin air." - The Reykjavik Grapevine

Mysterious avant-garde musician Hekla will release her uniquely beautiful debut album for solo theremin and voice Á, out September 14th through Phantom Limb Records - an independent label run and curated by former FatCat Records, Thrill Jockey and Royal Albert Hall execs James Vella, Ken Li and Mark Pearse.

A Berlin-residing Icelander, Hekla’s sparse, delicate, fractal music exists within these two worlds: dark and magical as Iceland’s permanight folklore; and (though beatless) as deeply sonic and intense as Berlin’s electronic scene. A long-term scholar of solo theremin, Hekla (shortened from her own name Hekla Magnúsdóttir) uses her instrument as an otherworldly and highly evocative Siren-call. A spectral, wailing, howling, lamenting yearning second-voice that underpins a soft vocal delivery... as if her studio had been haunted with a chorus of ghostly backing singers.

EXCERPT from bod [包家巷] - Limpid Fear [清澈恐惧]

LA-based, New Orleanian multimedia digital artist and music producer Edge Slayer works with an LGBTQ+ team to put on events in New Orleans, helping to create spaces where trans women - specifically black trans women - have a space to be themselves. This can be seen at Séancé, a party specifically centred around black women and at an alternative pride party called Barbie’s Inferno, an all-pink party/installation that she says looked like a funhouse mirror, “Malibu Dreamhouse airlifted to the fiery shores of hell.” as quoted in her interview with Jezebel.

Edge Slayer’s self-titled EP combines ambient and harsh noise with club, vogue and New Orleans bounce. She creates eerie, haunting harmonies over distant skeletal beats with soulful heartache and spiritually jolting vibrato. The opening track "Roll Me One" is a well of emotion, an outcry for help that is met with unwanted pity, while “Ratchet Weave I Believe” is an echoing siren at the club in the negaverse. “More Femme” is a vocal onslaught of presentations of femininity: a trans woman questioning what it takes to become safe in a society that scorns her. “No Safe Space” is a dystopian use of space and reflection to echo that supposed safe spaces are not actual safe spaces. There is a subtle feeling of fear that comes on with its descent into darkness.

FACT mix 689 - Edge Slayer (Jan '19)

Preorder: https://planetmu.bleepstores.com/release/139691-meemo-comma-sleepmoss, released 25th October.

“Sleepmoss is a romantic eulogy to autumn and winter. A time for peaceful inner reflection, amidst the backdrop of British woodlands, dramatic skies and turbulent storms. Finding peace with mental health and being mindful of the beauty in death and endings.”

'Sleepmoss', the second album from Meemo Comma a.k.a. Brighton-based producer Lara Rix-Martin, is an adventurous, unusual and very contemporary sonic take on the impact of landscape. It’s a kind of storytelling, inspired by the shifting landscapes of her daily walks with her dog on the South Downs.

Discussing her under-the-radar debut album 'Ghost on the Stairs' with Aimee Cliff at The Fader in 2017, she noted how she is “drawn to eerie sounds in my work.” This fascination remains on 'Sleepmoss' but the context has changed from the interior and inwards gaze to a much wider, wilder viewpoint. Lara describes her new record as being “about getting lost in the sumptuous divinity of the dark months in Britain. It is in many ways the opposite reflection of 'Ghost on the Stairs' which was about internal processing of sounds, specifically human speech. The last album was almost an exorcism of issues troubling me but this album is about the glory of solitude and the richness of romance that can be found in nature.” 

‘Sleepmoss’ challenges us to rethink our perceptions of the “pastoral” and to look at nature afresh with new eyes. For not only are the landscapes around us an escape: much more lies there, it's this turbulence we need to find peace with, and Sleepmoss grapples with the physicality of the landscape in a fresh and intuitive way.

Rix-Martin notes “Musically, we have never truly embraced rugged landscapes in their full glory and I felt this when I thought about the many different composers over the centuries, their work seemed uptight and far too human in scale. For instance Vaughan Williams had unquestionably beautiful moments in The Lark Ascending, but it's too clean, too controlled. I wanted to channel a take on classical music that was hyper-real, focusing on letting the elements speak to us, not the other way around.”

A visual influence is J.M.W. Turner - “his work with changing light and storms that are raw and expressive.” and the abstract way in which Turner boldly revealed both horror and beauty (some would say “reality”) is reflected in the sonic approach throughout Sleepmoss. 

The album’s timeline starts out with summer's end, and the feeling of the air changing. Within this timeline, Rix-Martin describes the drama of her songs as visual stories. “The sounds around us are totally different depending on the season, I always assumed it was to do with the change in water vapour and heat in the air. Summer is much too high pitched and spiky.”  To pull out a couple of our favourites, the songs 'Night Rain' and 'Murmur' are “the story of predator and prey, death and life, one fortifying the other while a storm rumbles. The next morning the woods are clear birds sing in the breeze from the night’s storm.”

‘Sleepmoss’ captures not only a unique perspective on nature but like nature itself, reflects the shifting times we live in. As Rix-Martin points out, Nature is often seen as “something to be controlled, neatened, conquered.” Sleepmoss interprets and admires nature in all its glory.
