Bungalovv - Glued Armor (ft. Efe Ce Ele)

Ferocity gives way for tenderness as @bungalovv becomes the latest @genomeshanghai inductee. 

Oozing gentle optimism, ‘Visited by Strangers’ takes a different approach from earlier work. Where records like ‘Donde Hubo Fuego’ established a direct, hard-edged style, this one shifts emphasis to introspection. It’s also a product of the pandemic; the remote nature of its various collaborations speaking to an elusive sense of community and belonging. 

Complete with auto-tuned vocals courtesy of Catnapp, our premiere finds sublime tension in a cinematic arrangement of field recording and synth.

'Visited by Strangers' is out March 31st on Genome 6.66Mbp.

Tzusing - 偶像包袱 (Idol Baggage) (PAN 123S2)

We’re thrilled to announce NAFF017, “To / Deep”, by Chicago trio Purelink 

“To / Deep” comprises four tracks, two of which –Maintain the Bliss and Head On A Swivel– were previously released as a digital-only EP in 2021. 

Here, Purelink return to form with an updated sound, adding crystalline angularity and dialed precision to their warm, enveloping style.  

Blissed break abstractions flutter and gasp like shifting light
through variegated glass. Rhythms arise within rhythms,
the breath resounds throughout.

“To / Deep” carries the uncanny feeling that home has changed, or that home is change.

@bungalovv

With Visited by Strangers, Pablo Betas returns to the melodic roots of his musical practice as Bungalovv. The release's introspective, even tender, sound marks a shift away from the aggression of his previous work, while retaining the cinematic flair and painterly texture that have become trademarks of the Argentinian musician's sound.

Composed during the pandemic, Visited by Strangers is nevertheless decidedly collegial, with four of its seven tracks being (remote) collaborations with other artists. Notably, it includes Bungalovv's first-ever tracks to feature guest vocalists, and the release is also strewn with field recordings sent from a friend who was under lockdown on an Argentinian peninsula.

These conditions mean that Visited by Strangers is charged with the tension between strangeness and familiarity, or intimacy and distance. As song titles such as "Sharing Spells" and "Last Videocall" suggest, the tracks here evoke a world where human connection is mediated in fragile and fleeting, yet beautiful, ways.
