B1 - Googoosh - Gol bi goldoon (Biaban edit)

B5 - And Then Kim Wilde Said We're The Kids In America (whoa-o)

La rage s’infiltra dans la chair comme une marée de flammes noires, rongeant la peau jusqu’à la nécrose, corrompant chaque fibre, chaque nerf. La bête, tapie dans les ténèbres, hurla — un cri guttural, écorché, vomi des tréfonds de sa gorge comme une malédiction vivante. Aveuglée par sa propre fureur, elle se jeta en avant, traquant une proie spectrale, insaisissable, jusqu’à se déchirer elle-même. Et quand ses forces se brisèrent, il ne resta plus qu’un corps solitaire, secoué de spasmes, noyé dans une brume glaciale et inconsolable qui s’insinuait dans ses muscles tétanisés… jusqu’aux portes de la mort.

Clamor Furoris

🔥 Six années de répression, de murs abattus et de sons saisis.
Mais les basses ne meurent pas, elles s’infiltrent.
Un cri électronique contre le silence imposé.
Voici mon nouveau son — tribecore mélodique, brut et lumineux,
un écho libre face aux barrières

007 / 28 mins runtime

«I’ve always struggled to feel whole.

My dad is an Iranian in America, born and raised in a
polarized Tehran. My mom belongs to a conservative
family, and grew up in a small, Southern town.
Trapped in a cycle of contradictions and self-negations,
and also free from the trap of a seamless worldview.
There’s tension in the cards I’ve been dealt, and Biaban
is one of the ways I’ve been dealing with it this year.

I’ve been doing a lot of negotiating with myself lately.
New Silk Harp Strings is a set of memories, orchestrated
from samples, loops, beatpacks and pre-revolutionary
45s buried in my basement at home, mixtapes scrawled
in handwritings of long lost friends, myths, fables,
diaspora letters and parables.»

Recorded between December 2019 & August 2020
outside Washington DC and inside St. Paul MN

Dubbed to cassette October 2020 in Den Haag NL

05 sobbing

fmvee joins Queeste with who do u love?, an EP of fractious songs recorded over a tumultuous four-month period in Los Angeles. Having debuted in 2018 with a set of club contortions touching on jungle and 2-step, the US artist returns with a work of intense self-reflection. Lived experiences are transmuted into an amorphous bricolage of pummelling kicks, synthetic textures, and diaristic details, what they describe as an act of “remembrance.”

Working and living in LA, the “grind” alongside “aspirational partying,” and the confrontation of depression during an intense relationship, informs the EP on levels both sonic and thematic. The slippery rhythm and melodic stabs of ‘the way you see yourself’ embodies a state of flux, also recalling the early experiments of the LA beat scene. Distant jazz drumming fills its peaceful coda before ‘everythingUneverKnewUwanted’ introduces an echo lifted directly from the artist’s life: a trickling courtyard fountain. This first phase of the release finds resolution with ‘thewayothersseeyou,’ a conceptual mirror to its start, and one which carries a notable shift in tone; gleaming percussion has given way to ominous synths.

Despite the EP’s personal nature, collaboration is crucial. ‘Seed Perfuming (LoLo v665)’ is an fmvee original transformed into a cascading breakbeat by New York producer and engineer Loric Sih AKA LoLo, an ecstatic yet familiar form nestled amidst otherwise bruising encounters. ‘sobbing’ follows, a digital-age ballad of original lyrics exploring dependency: emotional, physical, and otherwise. It’s a poignant conclusion to an appropriately hallucinogenic collection, an intoxicating chemistry of love and loneliness conjured through a fine balance of bass, percussion, discord, and harmony.

On behalf of fmvee, a percentage of all profits will be donated to Baltimore Harm Reduction Coalition, a community-based organisation that mobilises community members for the health, dignity, and safety of people targeted by the war on drugs and anti sex-worker policies.
