Detroit's own party rockin hard groove cowboy, 2Lanes, brings us the Sid Ranger Redux EP delivering a heavy mix of tribal and dub percussions layered with hypnotically eerie chants and sweeping synths. 2Lanes closes out the EP with a dear friend, Jonathan Aylward, and his expansive stand-up bass licks. The result is a mind-bending, smoked-out psychedelic experience for Psychic Relief’s second release.

In 2Lanes' word, "A record about vulnerability. Showing yourself to the world. Approaching your first creative ideas with a new perspective and skill. Trusting your instincts & freeing yourself of what holds you back. Time, love, & loss. The raw flame and the live wire. Swirling despair and howling desire. God and the Devil are fighting but when do you wing the sword? Nowadays we let the music speak for itself...."

“This mix was originally recorded as a pilot for a radio show that never happened, on a radio station that never happened. But was recorded right before my second stint of running a weekly late night show on 2ser with my friend Hani. All those episodes got deleted unfortunately so this is a tiny bit of the music we played on the show. A gravestone to a radio show you never knew existed.”

Putting a pigeon amongst the cats we are back with that good shit. An out of step, incidental artefact of peaceful sophistry: YS - Brutal Flower (2 x “12 LP). A no airs and graces piece of cool future-proof ambience. A modern ballad for brave young clubbers, local pubbers, slipstream warriors, and emotional doggers.

The distinctive aesthetic hallmarks of YS are all here: slabs of urban flavour from emotional interior; raw data straight from the interface. ‘Untethered’ and ‘Down’ are chopped-up cuts of searching R’n’B - jaded jams of lustful erasure. On the flipside, blunted desire lingers in ‘Fading
Memory’. Both hopeful and mourning: this is the lay of the land in Brutal Flowers sharing that rare strain of underground synesthesia best located in dark undercurrents of early Mo Wax.

The orchestral ambience of ‘Autumn OST’ is a potent stupor of end credit cinematics. Coming up for air. It feels young in an ancient sort of way: pure as first snow. And from here in the album unfolds with the patience, tranquility and the expansive poise of a work that is for now and always. Pulsating gently to assured ending with ‘Be Together’ - a flickering skyline, swarming with warm memories. In between there’s flashes of heartbreak reminiscent of Beltran's Ten Days of Blue and Blunt’s Stone Island (‘Look Up’ feels like a sort of spiritual successor to ‘Wake up’), that being said, when push comes to shove it only it ever flirts with its own reality.

An aesthetic reflection of a creative process that is delicate and restless. Created in the edges, where long distances, fast cities and global melancholia are wrought large. Burning the midnight oil Berlin-Singapore style: from real to reel. A sentimental exercise of modern faith by old
friends. With a nudge and a wink, Brutal Flowers is a (de)coded map of memories wavering with familiar intrigue. Patient listeners and the already initiated will be rewarded on re-visits - as playful & profound as you please, as deep as the heart.

The scathe that cuts is clean and deep. There are no sleight of hands to be found in this opus, only hearts are worn on the sleeve here.

A hill we’d gladly die on

pi pi pi premiere: YS - Pilgrimage (Pace Yourself)

The soundsystem music and low-end hitters that move from weirdo 2 weirdo with some 7'' dancehall business chucked in for good measure.
