FLORAS is the new album from katharsis founder jjjacob, releasing on May 21st to mark the five-year anniversary of the label’s first output. A celebration shaped by time, patience, and transformation, FLORAS is an assemblage of seven tracks - each with its history. The oldest dates back to 2018; the newest bloomed only months ago. Initially intended for other projects or collaborations that never fully took root, these compositions have been reworked, reimagined, and refined - transformed by years of quiet attention. Stylistically, the release moves between the physical and the introspective - crushed drumbreaks, poignant basslines, grand synth melodies, and obscure granular vocals.

Each track is like an ancient, fluorescent flower rediscovered in a distant cave, alien in form yet deeply familiar. Cyclical in structure, they mirror the seasonal processes: emerging, flourishing, decaying, returning. There’s a strange botanical logic at play, as patterns and shapes reappear like genetic echoes, and even discarded stems sprout new life. Melodic ideas and textural procedures reverberate across tracks like shared ancestral material, connecting them like a hidden underground network. Some tracks still bear traces of feedback or collaboration that never fully materialized - ghost limbs and branches that helped shape the whole.

Built from ambient textures, hard-hitting percussion, and sonic details that reward deep listening, FLORAS is a meditation on growth, time, and potential. The release reflects not only a shift in jjjacob’s personal process, but also a new chapter for katharsis itself: after five years of near-monthly releases, the label now turns toward a slower rhythm - giving each release more space to breathe, settle, and take root before moving on.

☞ i’ve been talking with P. Wojtaszek* about this note for quite a while. P. Wojtaszek has been hesitant about me speaking on their behalf. P. Wojtaszek said they'd rather let the music speak for itself.
and i get that. i really do. so here’s a Fact:
this Album is an Epos.

i say that because i really want 'Trik 2​→​3'** to be a Story, and stories are the only certain thing we REALLY have. I'm not even being sentimental here. This is Science, Man.

* P. Wojtaszek (FKA Faxada) — a producer, a persona.
Their 2016 and 2019 albums, released via Darling Recordings, are my personal cult classics. Crispy sparkling, paranoidly dazzling, bubbly stretching, texturally textured, and most of all: sonically prophetic.

** Trik 2​→​3 — an album, an epos. Conceived between 2018 and 2025, later released by BFF Music.
The tension only growing, the narrative never looking back, the angelic noisiness transmitting comforting anxiety. With it's noisy, piling guitars, sweet indie crumbling drums, and innocently splayed-out vocals - It’s the kind of thing I'd swear ants made

Dark Tiefen Meditation

Flickering memories and faded feelings — “the same old story: tape 1” by instagram.com/ubilam is a liminal four-track EP filled with melancholic moments, like forgotten recordings from a dream you once lived.

@vanda100

m2u000 (staring into the light) is a 4 track collaboration ep between vånda and rosewither. Inspired by the aesthetics of home video, old documentaries, and fleeting moments of life, this EP explores themes of death, melancholic memory, and solitude.

We made this ep by exchanging various melody ideas on the internet. With vånda and I being across the world from each-other, we had no other choice but then to revert to the classic way of exchanging ideas on the internet.

The cover-art was made from a photo I took of a street light when I had the pleasure of visiting the Canary Islands some years back. There is something so fascinating to me about the idea of staring into a street light and having only the hum of the light to be your friend in that moment.

Throughout this project you will hear field recordings - all of these were taken by me throughout my time living between Texas and Minnesota. Some are softer like brown noise, some feature rain from tropical storms back in Austin - all pieces of home and a part of my soul.
