"'You Look So Serious' engages with Enya's 'Watermark' Album from 1988. Based on a copy of her album on cassette tape, Florian T M Zeisig reconstructs and remixes her album of 39:42 minutes. 'You Look So Serious' is the result of a painstaking process, cutting 'Watermark' into 426, four second long cassette tape loops. Loops were chosen, arranged and mixed together to re-compose the material in order to translate and reinterpret Enya's hyper-produced and widespread success."

Originally released on cassette by Cassauna in 2018.

What’s it like to be a frog? - a question posed by philosophizers and scienticians alike for nigh on millenia without any definitive progress or resolution to the issue. The sad truth is that Man, in his usual self absorbed way, has only ever attempted to apply his own logical tricks and turns of phrase to describe the totally nonhuman sensual experience of the frog. In his arrogance, Man has failed to even realise the futility of his venture, of superimposing himself onto its self. The frog’s rich experience is its own, and now for possibly the first time in human history Man may, if he allows himself to, glimpse the essence of the frog. But not through word, or through self referential descriptions and calculations; but through self-absolving experience - through the Frog of Earth.

Frog of Earth is the debut album by the Frog of Earth, and is available now to purchase via bandcamp in single disc 12" vinyl LP, and in all digital formats.

Worldwide distribution handled by Rubadub.

Frog of Earth - Settle For Less (Frog of Earth 12" LP OUT NOW)

Originally composed for livestreaming events during the ongoing lockdown of 2020, Felisha Ledesma presents two extended pieces as a debut album, “Sweet Hour”. Ledesma’s first full length release arrives after much experience in creating collaborative works with artists such as Isabella and Angelo Harmsworth, site-specific installations, and high-profile festival performances.

Both pieces were realized using a new software synthesizer, called “AMQR”, which Ledesma built for personal use in collaboration with Ess Mattisson. Contrary to many digitally-based compositions, a distinctly warm and organic palette pervades these recordings. An almost playful leisurely pace is employed, engaging the listener to listen deeper; the pieces gracefully evolve with special attention to subtle shifts in stereo field and sonic coloration.

The time-of-day titles illustrate the two distinct moods conveyed: "7:00 AM" integrates field recordings and a hardware modular synthesizer, taking the listener through a psycho-acoustic journey exploring various nooks and crannies of subdued auditory rivulets: perhaps a hidden woodland brook, a sunny glen, a crunchy gravel walkway. "2:00 AM" harkens to the memories of nightclubs, opening with a synthesized arpeggio which could lead into a dancefloor-ready stomper. But instead, Ledesma steps back, allowing the arpeggio to develop into an encompassing ASMR-like timbral massage. The two compositions are united in a slightly melancholic grasping for connection; are they unfolding or are they unraveling? Ledesma does not answer the question outright, but instead finds joy in superposition and sublimation - while creating a space for the listener to inhabit, to live in, and to re-connect.

Pilled Up on a Couple of Doves is the debut full-length by PDP III, who fell into alignment in December of 2018 amid a handful of immersive and improvisatory recording sessions held at Gary’s Electric Studio in Brooklyn, New York. The trio is a collaboration between composer/producer Britton Powell and two Berlin-based artists, the British composer/cellist Lucy Railton and the electronic artist Brian Leeds (Huerco S).

At the outset of these sessions Powell presented a series of compositional sketches anchored around multi-tracked electronics and acoustic percussion. These concepts were then used as the framework for collective improvisation, with the musicians working on instinct and layering as many as eight separate takes across a track. A portion of the record also reflects moments that are purely spontaneous – in-the-moment invention with Railton on electronics and cello and Powell and Leeds working on laptop computers.

The composition process involved little in the way of overt instruction, instead favoring discussion on more abstract notions of feel and energy. As a result, the final product was a bit surprising to all involved. “I don’t think the three of us had any idea how heavy and physical this thing was going to feel,” reflects Powell.

Subsequently reduced, edited, and collaged by Powell over the next two years, Pilled Up on a Couple of Doves presents a succession of alien moods. Gauzy textures are buoyed by extreme low end pressure. Serene industrial hum illuminates the rhythmic beating of waveforms. The sounds frequently evoke opposing emotions -- tenderness and anxiety, claustrophobia and transcendence.

The record culminates in 20-minute closer “49 Days,” where gradually unfurling textures for cello and electronics mirror the overtones of a ringing gong. It’s unsettling, but deeply meditative. A map of liminal space. Music to get lost to. “One thing that’s important in relation to my work with music is to access a place outside of physical space,” says Powell. “To pursue music as a tool to reach a place outside of physical existence.”

“There's something really simple, innocent, and timeless about working with acoustic percussion instruments,” explains Powell. “I think that they allow for a very true examination of sound. It feels vulnerable and really powerful at the same time.

Abbrumer is M. V. (Marseille, France), a producer of expertly drowsy lo-fi jams with that creamy dusting of Kosmiche ambient veering into graveyard darkness. 'Blanche' is funereal noodling recalling Moevot at their most tuneful. 'Melancholia' is prime outsider house, spacious oddworld feels with distant bass lines and archaic snares. 'Treve' snakes along at higher tempo, bringing a lithe electro bump amongst it's stranded synth flares. 'Alma' nods its head on a slow, fuzzy trip towards the gothic grandeur of 'Genèse' as the album fades out into sleep.
