Racine - Quelque Chose Tombe 
Cat. Nr: DN016
Format: LP / DL 
Release Date: 21 February 2020

Hidden in plain sight, grinning through worry, living in insecurity – modern society has returned to a day-by-day race for survival. To be vulnerable is the new normal; afraid, a bare minimum. Something was bound to emerge from the quiet throngs of the new precariat, and Racine is such a voice, setting to music those modern lives defined by uncertainty.

Quelque Chose Tombe (‘Something Falls’) is a set of compositions that confronts demons both inner and outer head-on. Created during a period of necessary unemployment somewhere in Montreal – caring for one’s health can take precedence over work – the music is both a grotesque dance of the goblins and the gentle opiatic breath of the protectors. It’s a harrowing reflection of the prevalent vampiric hypochondria forcing a generation into fatigue. 

The sounds crawling out of Racine speak with their own internal logic. Snippets of fractured tunes creak through perturbed post-digital soundscapes, blurred and fragmented along the way into haunting amorphous instrumentals. The two-part title track is multi-part sonic maze where raven-like pitch bent notes gather, a broken rave theme punctures its way through bass fog, and silence clefts the music in two, ushering in a coda of heartbroken ambience. As the album’s suite progresses, Racine shepherds mutant melodic themes in and out of earshot, like clear thoughts bringing temporary order to a state of emotional panic and withdrawal. A host of other sounds too – voices and birdsong, cybernetically deformed – populate Racine’s scarred productions. 

Emerging from Quelque Chose Tombe’s constant darkness however, is a latent sense of hope. Racine is turning modern vulnerability into a strength, creating a singular aesthetic to reflect and confront an uncomfortable present.

The first single 'Black Trench & Hood To Hide My Face' from APEAK's upcoming 'Grey Skies' EP.

APEAK - Grey Skies

"Nowhere can I find a blank canvas, all places are corrupted by my mere existence."

In the shadows of a bleak urban landscape, a towering and slender figure slithers just out of reach of streetlights. A face obscured by a balaclava, not to intimidate, but to camouflage. Both ahead and behind are stroboscopic moments of blissful inebriation and the inevitable fall from grace. Each night reminiscent of the last, of the next. Each night giving just enough to keep retracing steps, just enough to make up for all that cannot be recalled the next day.

‘Grey Skies’ sees Helsinki-based producer APEAK mesh his signature icy aesthetic with more techno influenced elements, presenting a club-ready escapade of elastic drums ricocheting in the midst of bellowing, hibernate synths and disembodied synthesised voices. The title tracks feature Franco-Serbian artist WTNS, whose serene vocals serve as a requiem for the city's monochrome atmosphere, while on the anthemic centrepiece, Stockholm-based vocalist Deadvoss avoids the dangers of “killer beams” with the aid of mind-altering substances.

The EP sees him continuing to work with Helsinki based photographer Samuli Vienola and features hand-drawn elements by Jonas Rönnberg (Varg2™).

To be released February 21st via Changeless.

Racine - Quelque Chose Tombe I

@bungalovv
Emotional material manifests itself in many different forms. Sometimes it flows like a river, rolls like a wave or pours like rain. The fluidity of emotional experience makes sense as our bodies are mostly made up of water – life's matter and matrix, mother and medium.

It is time to let go of your fear and doubts. You must learn to embrace the darkness of your soul, for it is a light beacon of hope for humanity. Your soul wants to show itself in its truest form, strength, perseverance, courage and determination of spirit. In this lifetime your soul needs to cleanse and open its feelings for katharsis. This current physical lifetime offers you a new leaf, to be able to learn to balance obsolete, distorted behaviors.

The Flow of Water
