autumn air

floating above the rainforests floor, you know a mystical lake 2km away,  but you take your time, for the animals are treating you like one of their own.

As a bookend to Renaissance Man's Early Man EP reinterpretations Black Ocean is proud to present the M.E.S.H. Variations – two meditations on Hard Feeling that transform the original into two cinematic digital shisha lounge anthems. 

This is a retroactive soundtrack to Silk Road, both the trade route and the market place; trip-hop smoothed out on a Byzantine tip with a psy-feel appeal to it; global beats for global headz.

Lyrics by Ursula Andkjær Olsen:

THE COLOUR NOT OF LOVE

the colour of
not of love
the colour, not of
the colour of falling in
not of love 
of falling in
in

the colour of fall
the colour of 
green
green
falling in
jasmine

green seen in the dark
in the night 
fall with me in
the colour of green in the night
the colour of fall, of falling in love
is a leaf 

not of love
not of love
not of love
not of love
love
love

the colour of falling
the colour of falling
is love

YVES TUMOR — Serpent Music
Format: LP / Digital
Cat.No: PAN 73
Release Date: 23 September 2016

http://p-a-n.org/

The enigmatic Tennessee-raised, Turin-based Yves Tumor presents a poignant new album, recorded between Miami, Leipzig, Los Angeles and Berlin over the past three years. 

Evolved from a diverse and prolific creative history under an expansive plethora of covert aliases via various forward-thinking labels, 'Yves Tumor' emerges as his most personal and matured incarnation to date.

With involvement across various artistic outlets expanding to fashion such as a visceral live performance for LA's Hood By Air earlier this year, the global artist has built a distinctly bold personal aesthetic both musically and visually as a performer.

Painstakingly written from pieces developed upon since 2013, the new record, titled 'Serpent Music', was initially composed as a soul record - based around delicate and emotive songwriting in various forms. It was a highly difficult project to undertake on both a creative and personal level, weaving thematic links through paranoia, social anxiety, and missing loved ones. "The songs come from a much more emotional and very vulnerable place... They're very close to me and I've been cautious of how I would eventually present them to the world." he explains. 

The album spans sonically diverse and richly-textured pieces, formed from live, organic instruments, samples and various field recordings. Dreamlike lo-fi psychedelia sits alongside broken electronic experimentations, ambient compositions between abrasive noise offer insight into a haunting otherworld. From melodic choral vocals and soaring synths, to screeching guitar riffs, dramatic spoken word samples and live drumming, 'Serpent Music' evidently moves through a strange and intriguing personal journey.

The album is mastered and cut by Rashad Becker at D&M, featuring photography by Daniel Sannwald.
