the significant novelty of kyoka‘s first full length album »is (Is Superpowered)« is that she uses her own voice much more often than usual, in the form of short snippets as well as longer sung melodies. these elements are set and arranged as if they were an autonomous instrument, and sometimes they give the impression of being a babelesque language mix-up, or even a kind of cryptic message for the listener like found in the song »meander«.

the production process of the record was heavily supported by her label mates frank bretscheider and robert lippok, which is, in this way of forming a production team, a unique constellation in the history of raster-noton. whereas lippok focused on preserving the roughness and complexity of kyoka‘s compositions, bretschneider concentrated on refining them regarding their fluidity and focus. both tried to keep the vitality and hyperactivity of the initial tracks without losing their distinctive eccentricity.

although kyoka‘s sound is often kind of chaotic, it is by no means stressful but rather energizing and easy to enjoy. the only exception to this can be found in »piezo version vision«, the noticeably roughest track of the record. her particularly progressive style is best reflected by the song »re-pulsion«, a rolling groove combined with unusual clicks and snares and topped with crazy sounding voice fragments.

the album thus further deepens what was already initiated with her first ep »iSH«, released as part five of raster-noton‘s unun series. it presents a stylistically broader spectrum of kyoka‘s music but at the same time exhibits the fresh and positive, sometimes even childlike attitude she is already known for. this eventually renders »is (Is Superpowered)« a perfect extension of our label catalogue.

SILÉNT PHIL - HOLY SIX

On 5th June Subtext Recordings present ‘Kistvaen’  – the fourth solo studio LP by Roly Porter – which takes its name from a type of granite tomb found predominantly in Dartmoor, southwestern England. Scattered across the moorlands, the kistvaens were often found covered in a mound of earth and stone. They housed dead bodies, allowing them to lie facing the sun.

Premiere: Roly Porter 'burial'

Mice is back with his first album 0.01% after contributing Light EP and participating three compilation. The vibrating sound which like a gleaming metal shows the life cycle of a parasite . 

The whole album is divided into four chapter — a metempsychosis from fear to calm. Beginning with Warm 暖胃, the host's horror was continuously pushed by the fierce shattered beat and disturbed noise, and reached its peak in Upwelling 上涌. The parasite gradually entered the host's limbic system along with the exalted melody in Corrosion 腐蚀, secreting neurotransmitters to make the host fall into a false excitement. After the drop of the last note in Permeate 渗透, the host began to struggle with his own consciousness and slowly sink into the chaotic subconscious quagmire in Filter 过滤. From Sterillize 杀菌 to Break 突破, the host kept struggling unconsciously until death. The parasite broke out in Purification 净化 and greeted its own transformation — to a higher life form in peace. EndingStarted as the end of the album is not only the end of parasitism but also the beginning of new life.
