T4T LUV NRG presents the title track from Eris Drew's forthcoming debut album "Quivering In Time", weeks ahead of the full album's release on October 29, 2021. Mid-tempo breaks, throbbing bass and applied tremolos are the foundation for Eris's song about finding hope amidst chaos.

About the album... 
In 2020, after the release of Trans Love Vibration (NAIVE, 2018) and Transcendental Access Point (Interdimensional Transmissions, 2020), Eris moved from her hometown of Chicago to rural New Hampshire and recorded the nine beautiful songs featured here. Her first album feels something like her DJ sets, with stacked layers of vinyl samples and turntable manipulations serving as a fast-moving foundation for hand-played keyboard riffs, walls of percussion and sampled, scratched and strummed guitar tones. On each song for the album Eris expresses the anxiety and hope of her present. She wrote, recorded, and mixed the album as she stared into the forest through her studio window, collapsing present and past into future, her memories and body literally quivering in time.

The songs are cast with Eris’s experiences and intentions. The plucky progressive Loving Clav is in the form of an evocation (“good times come to me now....”), while the tracks Time to Move Close and Show U LUV express Eris’s longing for togetherness. The hardcore Pick ‘Em Up (“...and it might be a different story”) and organ-heavy Ride Free are funky odes to psychedelics, hard dancing and the subjectivity of real lived experience. The twinkling house of Howling Wind and the tempo-shifting bop of Sensation capture the mystery of the forest cabin where Eris spent most of the last 15 months. Two booming hip house dubs round out the album, Baby and Quivering in Time, each an itchy track about hope and personal resilience. As with her prior work, Eris’s approach to music making is unique and genre-dissolving. Ultimately, her special sound is a metaphor for her main message, which is that every person deserves to be themself.

Eris Drew - Quivering In Time

Untitled (Nov 21 #2)

All the world is turning exuberant, Annie (1982)-style somersaults at 'Tobias and Jube and the Something Hat Mystery', the ALL-NEW, ALL-AGES, ALL-COLOUR, ALL-NONSENSE comic caper by Patrick Alexander (available via stela.com). "Wow," the world says breathlessly at last. "Gosh."

And now... it's songs!

GALLOP UPON YOUR VERY EARS through a landscape of wonder and chuckles. Breathe airborne cartoon musical notes in through your actual nose holes. Scrub your filthy skin off in the clear, logorrheic brooks that twist through the forest beyond the horizon, where rainbows grow! Sit upon a mushroom and drink tea with the pixies. Now you are paralysed. The tea was poisoned. You will be a prisoner of the pixies forever, until the world you knew is long dead; dead with the sun and planets. You fool. You fool.

I don't know what genre any of these songs are.

Rainish Raining in the Rain

A quick bassy little tune with lots of Feline Power.

Cat Check 2018

My second full-length album, but the first I recorded and produced myself. It was quite a challenge but very fun to make!

Landscapes

This track is based on an old herding tune. They were usually played by women – on horn – for calling the cows home. This one was played by Anders Frisell in Mockfjärd, Dalarna, who probably had learned it from his mother or grandmother. The tune was documented for the archives in 1908 but is most likely much older.

Since herding tunes are generally rather short, I have composed an additional section to the melody. I play the melody on my EVI. All sounds except drums are from the Nord Modular G2, using patches I have programmed myself. All parts except a part of the lead melody (see above)are composed by me.

Vallåt på bockhorn (herding tune on buck horn)

Produced entirely in Korg Gadget 2
Had a little play with super saws ! ;-)

If You Think This Is Weird (sample set)

This is a cover of Mike Oldfield's arrangement of the traditional Christmas song. Why this version? Because the original is as boring as a dog's ass. Plus I wanted an excuse to learn the guitar solo :)
