READ OUR Q&A WITH BENT HERE: https://www.lazy-daze.com.au/#/45-bent/

Bent are Nail Tolliday and Simon Mills, two Nottingham based producers who have been pushing lush, emotive electronica since 1999. Just as comfortable crafting a slice of melancholy downtempo as they are laying down a summery dance floor cut, some of their classic sample-heavy productions include ‘Magic Love’, ‘Always’ and ‘Swollen’ (to name but a few).

In 2020 they released  their sixth studio album, Up In The Air, their first full length release since 2006. Brimming with eight beautifully melodic tracks, the LP proved the boys haven’t lost their touch. We’re over the moon to have them put together a mixtape for us. Hope you enjoy.

OpenLab Live Sessions: Chris Coco

Allowing yourself to find meaning or beauty in the mundane is an act of generosity, Whether it’s seeing a smiling face in an electrical outlet socket, or discerning cosmic design amidst the forest floor detritus, it comes from a place of kindness to yourself and senses – and openness to hidden spirit of the world. These tracks came together during a period of intense personal change for adaa, rooted in a fruitful reflection on the connections between spirit and body, “feeling my flesh so I can feel and understand my spirit,” as adaa puts it. The sense of a crossover and clash of multiple connected realities – on-screens, on-line, on-earth, off-world, after-life – unites adaa’s multifaceted productions.

Ostensibly an assemblage of found sounds. scribbled thoughts and poems from diaries, and musial snippets, the album's scattered production reflects adaa’s own many mirror worlds. Field recording sit behind most tracks, alongside VST synths, guitars, and a variety of voices, from adaa’s own mangled vox to EVP samples taken from YouTube (recorded sounds believed to be spirits or paranormal activity), all processed to varying degrees.

While the music was mostly produced either in adaa’s studio in Providence, Rhode Island, or in bed, the field recordings bring the outside world in. The result of walks in the woods, hum of roads and highways, hiss of beaches, warmth of walks with friends and past lovers “around the East Coast”. It sits behind tracks like ‘sight’ where a lilting piano lin bobs atop a pond of rustling and distant whistles. Is that birdsong? Or ghosts? Saccharine hyperpop arpeggiation crossfades sharply into noise guitar squall. Angelic demon voices yawn into a hefty crescendo. Pure drones duet with gales of undefinable field sounds.

“Sometimes I feel like a seed in frosted soil,” says adaa. “If i choose to be optimistic.” 






Composed, recorded, found and mixed mostly in and around "providence, rhode island" and the east coast of "america" by adaa in various moments between 2021 and 2024
