Subverting compositional and design tropes each step of the way, the Zonra project has maintained a striking consistency in its escape from the norms of conventional electronic music. Straddled somewhere between the dance-centric sound of contemporary bass music producers and the aural experimentation developed by IDM pioneers, Jackson Hale achieves a stable balance between groove and intrigue with each subsequent release, moving that needle closer to either end whenever the need arises. In time-tested fashion, his latest LP is a work of beauty from every angle, and as such, The Rust is incredibly excited to premiere Time Is A Tool as our 61st label release.

Previous Zonra records have featured an amalgam of shredded synthesis, mean breakdowns, and carefully threaded melodic elements. Unsurprisingly, Hale flipped the script entirely for Time Is A Tool; The LP’s opening moments involve smooth harmonies egressing into smooth cadence, and that relationship carries on throughout each track. Choice waves of tension and release, told through the intentional splaying of tones and textures into glitched-out symphonies, creates a permeable catharsis within each fold of the record, slowly churning the listener towards the album’s zenith. Opting for slow, caressing tempos and chord phrases reminiscent of serene lullabies, the traditional throaty bass lines and hyper-compressed downbeats are put out to pasture in favor of a record filled to the brim with particularly intentional and resoundingly magical moments of introspection and rest. For those keen on finding their next sonic journey amidst a crowd with a dancefloor focus, Time Is A Tool is assuredly the album you’ve been searching for.

See-Through Time

An altered perspective to the painting

Celestial Sphere

A mesmerizing journey through the boundless heavens—a sonic interpretation of the ancient concept that envisions the stars as part of a grand, cosmic tapestry. The track opens with ambient layers that stretch endlessly, evoking the vast, mysterious expanse of space. Glitchy nuances ripple through the soundscape, like distant signals from forgotten galaxies, while delicate piano notes cascade like stardust, connecting the listener to something fragile and profound. Twinkling tones and strange, otherworldly sounds emerge, conjuring the awe of gazing at the infinite sky. As the song progresses, it draws you deeper into its celestial rhythm, a poignant reminder of humanity’s small yet meaningful place in the universe.
