The second of #Transgressive10 giveaways is a rare beauty from The Antlers.

Originally released by our friends at Lefse Records for Record Store Day with Beach House, Spiritulized and more, this track was created using electromagnetic fluctuations in the magnetosphere as the Voyager probe travelled near Jupiter! 
This celestial body proved inspiration for a soundscape that is a beautiful companion to the likes of ‘Undersea’ by a band used to more direct lyrical engagements.
Over the course of their three fantastic records with Transgressive - The Antlers have proven one of the most important and influential of our acts. From breakthrough “Burst Apart” to this years indescribably beautiful ‘Familiars’, The Antlers create albums that you can live in and return to time and time again. And we’re so proud to release them.

JENNIE ABRAHAMSON - THE WAR (radio edit)

The Summoner comes 4 years since the last Kreng album Grimoire and 3 years since the massive retrospective box set Works for Abattoir Férme 2007-2011. A lot has happened in between, and this new recording can be seen as quite the departure from the aformentioned. 

His most personal album to date, The Summoner is based around the 5 stages of mourning and is made after a year of losing several close friends. Hard enough material to work on, he decided to add a 6th stage, entitled The Summoning to be able to arrive at the finalé, Acceptance. 

Conjuring up the spirit of György Ligeti, the first half of the album is made entirely of 12 string players being directed to play around, make noisey clusters and crescendoes, moving you between Denial, Anger, Bargaining and Depression. In fact, The Summoner is the first Kreng album NOT made by hordes of samples. Music to really dig deep in to. 

Following into the second part of the album, twists and turns are taken and it's hard to know where exactly you are. The Summoning's haunting organs and smoke-filled chambers lead you in to an earth- shaking wall of guitars, drums and bass courtesy of Belgian doom band Amenra. Leaving you in a state of shock, the album closes in an incredibly heartfelt and quiet way with the fittingly named Acceptance.

Old Fools
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[instrumental]

Old fools
Sat on their hands like 
dull tools
Particles blown by the gas
Fly by their faces as they pass
By the old fools

Old fools
Useless remainders, 
the old cogs
Adrift in the fog
Waiting for a peer
That will never come near

The sounds of the tunnel
The swiftly flowing funnel
Spilling like slop on the shoulders
of the old fools 
who will never be
any older

Could you believe only days from today
We will fight for the scraps where they lay
How terribly fair 
to be nowhere

[instrumental]

Old fools
We got here the same way
Stupidly nursing the same smears
Couldn't get out of our own way

Could you believe only days from today
We will fight for the scraps where they lay
How terribly fair 
to be nowhere

[instrumental]

Old fools (11a)

Keep Shelly in Athens - Dark Light

"Exercise #3 (Building)" is from the beautiful new CFCF release 'Exercises' out April 24th on Paper Bag Records.

For his new EP 'Exercises', out in April on Paper Bag Records, Montreal's CFCF shows a different side of his pallette with a series of subdued piano and synth based pieces. Pulling from influences like Philip Glass, Ryuichi Sakamoto and David Borden, among others, and using institutional architecture and 70s Canadiana as a framework, the EP has a distinctly 20th century feel. Opener "1 (Entry)" lures us in with a melancholy bed of synths, while standout "3 (Building)"'s rolling piano melodies build to a cathartic crescendo. The lone vocal piece, "5 (September)", is a cover of the opener to David Sylvian's 'Secrets of the Beehive' album, refitted with 2-step percussion and wintry pads. This is a change of pace for CFCF to be sure, but no less cinematic and evocative than his 2009 debut 'Continent', though where that record evoked long stretches of neon road and epic rainforests, 'Exercises' is all snowy walkways and long corridors, endless escalators ascending to desolate concrete plateaus. Each track feels like an exploration of lost memories, studies in nostalgia, exercises in spatial remembrance.
