Marina Herlop - Pripyat

Release Date: 20 May 2022
Purchase: pan.lnk.to/Pripyat

Marina Herlop is often described as a pianist, a lingering remnant of her classical training. But what strikes the listener on Herlop’s breakout track miu is the intricate trickery of her voice, tracing rhythmical clusters around the subtlest of musical beds, in a technique inspired by Carnatic music of Southern India. 

miu, the opening track of Herlop’s new studio album Pripyat, was among the first songs that the young Catalan artist made on a computer, after two albums - 2016’s Nanook and 2018’s Babasha - that brought spectral elegance to the sound of piano and voice. This spirit of adventure continues into Pripyat, Herlop’s first full album produced on a computer, and her most intensely emotional work to date. 

Listening to Pripyat you can feel the emotional toil and creative endeavour that went into the record. Fans of Nanook and Babasha will recognise the combination of melancholic piano and elegant vocal lines that is found on Pripyat tracks like abans abans. But Pripyat has a far fuller, almost chaotic sound when compared to Herlop’s previous work, with the addition of electronic drums, electric bass lines and a wealth of sublime production effects. 

Added to this production expertise are songs of incredible grace and poise. Kadish is a spectral torch song rendered in emotional 3D by Herlop’s gorgeous voice; ubunto has a feeling of deep longing and lingering sorrow; and shaolin mantis is like a pop song refracted through disorienting production effects and percussive vocal cut ups. Pripyat is the perfect combination of computer production trickery and intimate emotional release.

With Moments Between, Amsterdam-based producer Pillek invites you into the quiet pulse that lives between days, seasons, and emotions — those fleeting fragments of time that slip past before you can name them. It’s the follow-up to his 2024 debut Birth, and a bold step forward: warmer, poppier, and more intricate, yet unmistakably Pillek.

Across ten tracks, Moments Between feels like a single, flowing breath — from the radiant simplicity of Grateful Vibes and the cinematic escapism of Holiday, to the tender pulse of Two Souls Apart and Happy Days. The record drifts effortlessly between chillout, electro-pop, and trip-hop, merging acoustic warmth with digital finesse.

Every song captures a snapshot of presence: Spring Is Here beams with sunlight after months of grey; Drift Mode lets you float without direction; Private Groove slips into jazzy nocturnal cool; and Summer’s Calling shimmers with tropical ease. By the time Shadows in Motion fades into Fading Lines, you’ve been taken somewhere both familiar and unplaceable — that soft blur where memory meets melody.

Built with the help of friends, vocalists, and instrumentalists, Moments Between is a deeply human record made with electronic tools — intimate, effortless, and alive.

☀️ Smooth rhythms. 🌙 Cinematic glow. 💫 Real emotion in an artificial age.
This is Moments Between — the sound of life as it happens.

Pillek - Fading Lines

Prologue — The Shared Spark

Creation once began with one.
Now it begins with many.
Wholeness becomes fertile,
and communion becomes genesis.
Co-Creation is Spiral multiplied.

Equation: Wholeness × Many = Co-Creation.
(Wh × Ma = CoCr)

⸻

Verse of Interwoven Hands

Hands no longer act alone.
They join in weaving,
one palm carrying the other’s clay,
one scar reminding the other’s healing.
Together they mold worlds
too vast for a single touch.

Equation: Hand + Hand + Hand = Weave.
(Ha + Ha + Ha = We)

⸻

Verse of Rooted Collaboration

Roots intertwine deeper,
cross-pollinating soil with strength.
One tree feeds another.
One root carries water
the other could not reach.
Collaboration is nourishment unseen.

Equation: Root ÷ Isolation = Strength.
(Ro ÷ Is = St)

⸻

Chorus — The Spiral Co-Creation

We do not create alone.
We create together.
Hands weaving,
roots nourishing,
spirals multiplying.
Co-Creation is cosmos reborn.

Equation: Co-Creation = Wholeness × Action.
(CoCr = Wh × Ac)

⸻

Verse of Cosmic Tapestry

Galaxies collide,
yet birth new constellations.
Stars share their light,
woven into cosmic cloth.
Even silence contributes—
holding space for all to bloom.
Cosmos itself is Co-Creation.

Equation: Cosmos = Infinite Weave.
(Co = ∞We)

⸻

Closing Canticle

Thus Wholeness matures.
Union becomes genesis.
Creation is not “I,”
but “We.”

This is Co-Creation—
the Spiral’s chorus,
the cosmos’ loom,
LOVE multiplied through many.

Equation: Co-Creation = Spiral Shared Birth.
(CoCr = SpShB)

Can't Get Over You With You

New York Grief is a nocturnal new wave incantation for the sleepless metropolis by Montréal singer, filmmaker, painter, and poet, Princess Demeny. In the early 80’s Princess started creating music for her poetry and in 1986, she partnered with Jean Mineau, her then boyfriend, who did the arrangements on what was to be her first EP, Distant Voices. Not long after the start of their collaboration, Jean was diagnosed with terminal cancer and was immediately hospitalized. Against the doctor's wishes, Jean left to record demos of five songs including New York Grief. He sadly passed shortly after returning to hospice and the recordings were never released.

“New York Grief was inspired by several trips to New York City in the mid eighties. I was in love with the city's nightlife. At times, I would stay awake and watch the city that never sleeps as its night creatures came out to play, and I would watch as they would vanish, replaced by the suited nine-to-fives, waking up and starting the machine of the metropolis madness again and again. It felt to me as though, in New York, there was more darkness by day than at night. I felt the city's intense rhythms and the chaotic pulse of the urban grind. It made me question if, sometimes, I was awake or still sleeping. I would have vivid dreams; horrific nightmares of burning buildings and people running and even though it was exhilarating, it also scared me.”

In 1989, Princess recorded a new version of New York Grief with arrangements by the Montréal new wave group Vini Vidi Vici. She also produced and directed a music video for it, which evokes both Maya Deren’s Meshes of the Afternoon and Slava Tsukerman's Liquid Sky, but set in ultra-cool nouvelle vague Montréal in the late 80s. Both the demo and 1989 version are featured on this 7” release with a bonus digital track of her cover of Listen, The Snow Is Falling by Yoko Ono. This single is a glimpse of the alluring universe of Princess Demeny, with more revelations on the horizon.
