Lifted - 2
Format: LP / Digital
Label: PAN
Cat.No. PAN 85
Release Date: 07 June 2019

PAN welcomes back the Lifted ensemble for a second cross-continental adventure off the grid, simply titled Lifted 2.

Lifted’s latest release expands on the expression of improvised fusion that brought about the spectrum of styles explored on their 2015 debut album for PAN. Expansion is a key theme to Lifted 2, primarily in the musicians involved; Lifted is now a core group of Future Times boss Max D, Matt Papich aka Co La, Jeremy Hyman and Motion Graphics. Expansion also relates to musical ideas Lifted explore and the studio techniques executed.

Whereas the way they approached the idea of improvisation on Lifted 1 was framed in jazz terms, the seven-tracks on this second LP step even further into the vivid unknown. Zero boundaries for the exploratory impulse. “On this record we went a lot deeper into our kind of studio technique,” Lifted say. “We tried to cultivate the sound using the studio as a primary tool, almost a member of the group in a way.”

As with the debut Lifted LP, listening to Lifted 2 is an open invitation to experience the worldwide creative framework surrounding these artists. The collaborators for each track, whether present in the studio or online, show what a fluid and freeform exercise Lifted can be.

Max D’s international crew of Future Timers play deft roles throughout Lifted 2. Jordan GCZ and Dawit Eklund both return for ‘Lifting’ alongside 1432r’s Sami, NYC’s Will DiMaggio and Sao Paulo’s Repetentes 2008. Beatrice Dillon and Bass Clef, two highly-decorated artists from the UK underground, make telling contributions which mark the latest in a long line of celebrated creative collaborations for the pair. Further input comes via Aya, vocalist and bassist for crucial Japanese experimentalists OOIOO, and Martin Kasey, a friend of Papich with a background in Baltimore theatre, summoned for Lifted duty to provide some striking saxophone blasts.

How do all these collaborations manifest on Lifted 2? It’s a sort of inverse process full of blind takes with the results more bruised than polished. “The song stays fluid until the end. We pile the ideas really high and then decimate them,” Lifted say. “We delete until the songs are crystallizing; lay a grid of silences to organize the tracks. The breathing spaces become definitive.”

These seven tracks adroitly weave through mood and vibe, demanding heads lock in with an initial blast of whip sharp percussive hits and contemporary no-wave blowouts before letting off steam with soothing ambient synthesis. “Black Pepper” acts as the album centerpiece, an unhinged mangle of SH101 basslines, freeform flute & saxophone and multiple percussive sources brought to order by Papich’s studio dubs. “Rose 31” edges closest to the kind of jazz fusion that inspired the project from the off, Lifted utilising the various classic instruments deployed by the greats of the game. Closer “Near Future” smartly foregrounds Motion Graphics’ stunning piano talents, gradually stripping away all other elements until all that is left are his swirling notes.

The album is mastered by Rashad Becker, featuring photography by Traianos Pakioufakis and artwork by Johannes Schnatmann & Bill Kouligas.

Laurel Halo - Crush

I had heard amazing things about Lyra's music and performance from my trusted friend BLEID who played on the same festival as her a couple years back - i memorized the name and was so happy to find that we would both attend the SHAPE platform gathering in Prague, where many artists from everywhere, including Peach, Oceanic, avsluta, patten and many more got together to attend workshops and lectures. Meeting Lyra was great, i was instantly struck by her humanity, a way of communicating that was so calm and kind and also her pondered reflections on all these different subjects. aside from a participant as a selected SHAPE artist, she was also a lecturer and the three-day event, and experiencing her talk about childhood in rural america, her myriad music influences and her inventive approach to manipulating sounds and particularly her voice left me in awe. her new album fountain really translates all these beautiful impressions i got, with her voice and carved sonics in juxtapositions all working together to create pieces where the percussion might be a vocal, for example, and so on - where a sense of fluidity and lack of fixed rules is key (my fav feeling if you know me).
i think of out time together in Prague often and how her intent and studious, graceful spirit in music inspired me, so i wanted to somehow make a link with what we do at naive, and asked her if she was willing to explore her practice in the mix format for us, which she did accept to my great happiness - and the result is so completting and exciting! collages of speech and music, new fiona (yess), ariana's into you remixed, and plenty of exploratory synth and drum work. i can feel the care that was put into this, and i feel so honoured to have lyra on the naivetape series. dive into this ever-changing tunnel of colourful explosion and thank her later <3
ps - lyra is a twin and the incredible baby pic is with her twin. about it she said something so cute and meaningful i couldn't not quote:  i really like the first one with one of us with the hand in the others mouth because it expresses a strange and cute intimacy of two souls who grew in the same womb together

LEYA -- "Wave (Actress Remix)"

Never Sleep 03 comes from Canada's finest Seekrsinternational.
Who Fyah Shot!? is a 7min long opus with propulsive melody, drum-less amplification and sonic wizardry. A compelling ode to the synergy of ragga, experimental and rave. Taking structures aimed at the dance floor and transporting them to inhabit the in-between spaces in our consciousness and psyche.

Seekers International - Who Fyah Shot?!  [NSR003]

f011 - bela

Yours, emerges from the shadows as 333 Boyz’s first release since their EP Pink Freak (Creamcake, 2015). A rare fruit, the duo’s album nods (and headbangs) to a curious range of musical influences through heavy sampling and live instrumentation. Yours, unapologetically attempts to fit the mould of a "conventional” album, while at the same time allowing for naive weirdness.
