Okay Vivian - Remember [me]

All the proceeds of this compilation will be donated to MECA (MiddleEastChildren'sAlliance).

I suppose one day, this key of mine will be in use.
When the roots of the trees have grown over the ruins, of what used to be my city.
When the gunpowder in my chest will fade, as the time goes on.
Until then, I’ll let the dawn fall on.
And wait until I can call a this same old place a home.

Until that moment I’ll browse through the field of trees, with golden appels.
My dream of peaceful days are as sweet as persimmons.
My memory of Omas voice as vivid as the violets, she used to murmur quietly -
No man is free until the we accept kindness, until then we shall be wise and clever and more quiet than the mice, do take my word for it. I’ll save you the trouble and give some peace of mind.

Crying feels as bitter as holding sumac above my eyes,
I try my best to understand that emptiness is what welcomes me, but that does not feel right.
But I still believe that this old key of mine, will kiss a familiar door, at least one last time.

SIM CARD HØLDER is not a band. It is the hybrid child of Ian Bruner, Drone Operatør and Gajek. Its procreation date is hard to pin down, but it started 2020 with an Insta chat and one of Ian's piano improvisations recorded in his Colorado living room. From there the album grew in separated covid lockdown wombs at three different locations in Germany. Ian's shadowy instrumentation of light piano and heavily layered and long believed to be dead soundscapes were digested, replanted and grown-over by Drone Operatør's and Gajek's uncompromising and individual sense for song structures and sounds. When finally all body parts were assembled in early 2021 the baby was already fluent in different languages.

Sim Card Hølder grows slowly while meandering through dense and open fields. It switches from calm and dreamy moods to wild fractured outbursts without fragmenting into the arbitrary. A raw spiritual power keeps every part connected and in perfect motion. Each song is a portal into multiple universes that suck you in on thick piano carpets, sharp saxophone spikes and buzzing quadcopter wings, warming insect intestines, blasting raw drums and slow healing winds, screeching synth rhymes, dissonant orchestral tales and floating blue melodies. It’s a demanding ride but thoroughly deeply relaxing. The perfect soundtrack to rewind your mind.

Taken from Softie (@softieseason) new EP It Had Nothing To Do With Summer, out September 24, 2021, via Eastern Nurseries (@eastern-nurseries)

Pre-order: https://bit.ly/3ExT6dU

Debuting on Eastern Nurseries with “It Had Nothing To Do With Summer”, Helsinki-based producer Softie quietly hides his club wristband under see-through silk, engulfing himself in a heartwarming world of swirling textures, lovelorn melancholy and glassy harmonics.

First introduced via World Canvas earlier this year with his debut EP “Clouded Vision”, Softie builds on this framework of isolationist ambient works and icy techno ruminations with a sophomore release that offers a resounding statement of voice and vision, shining a light on his beloved scene’s emotive undertones.

“It Had Nothing To Do With Summer” overflows with a sense of fleeting ecstasy - gone but not forgotten - as hazy melodies bleed through cold swathes of shifting noise. Enshrined in a halo of optimism, Softie’s first full length album embodies post-rave ambivalence to life’s troubles - a sacrosanct moment of bliss tinged with the bittersweet realisation that reality comes at dawn.

Released by Eastern Nurseries

Premiere: Softie - City Whisper [Eastern Nurseries]

Deliquescent spheres orbiting in a void of golden shimmer
Opening one transfers you to a field of untouched lantanas and amaranths
Watching them makes you dream of a sun rising to its zenith
Tonight there was a fire, which burned like the last remaining stars

Mastered by Joni Juden
Cover art by Gabriel Boicel

Softie - Pond Eyes

A collection of fearless love songs, inspired by Spring and the pains and ecstasies of nesting season. A gallery of lovelorn electronic ballads in the name of heartache. "Wild Love To Grow" is Eastern Nurseries' longest and bravest release to date, as well as the first to be presented physically as a double cassette edition.

"When I was alive, I aimed to be a student not of longing but of light."

Softie - As We Sat On The Shore

Taken from SBKT048: 33EMYBW & Gooooose - Trans-Aeon Express

Artwork: Weirdcore
Design: Luke Griffiths
Mastering: Raphael Valensi
Release Date: 25th March 2022

In late 2020, in the midst of lock downs and worldwide uncertainty, London based visual artist Weirdcore presented his first solo exhibition, ‘Orient Flux’, at SKP-S in Beijing, supported by Kennedy London. Developed and produced remotely due to travel restrictions, the exhibition spanned 7 interconnecting audio-visual installations forming a ‘train station from the future’, with music and sound design by 33EMYBW and Gooooose. Initially arriving at the ‘Stellar Lounge’, passengers traversed through the ‘Oblique’ security checks, decompress and adjust their bodies for travel in the ‘Microcosmic’ zone, and pass through the ‘Infinity Gates’ and ‘Dimensional Horizon’ to finally board the ‘Trans-Aeon Express’, an illusory bullet train, to embark on a spatio-temporal journey through time.

‘Trans-Aeon Express’ by 33EMYBW and Gooooose is a continuation of this project, with music and sound design from the exhibition, as well as new tracks inspired by and sampling elements/ambience from the various installations. Released on a limited-edition LP, as well as digitally, the album features new artwork by Weirdcore, updating and evolving the original Orient Flux emblem, with graphic design and layout by Luke Griffiths.

Special thanks to Kennedy London and SKP-S Beijing.

Out now: https://displayseries.bandcamp.com/album/023-024-romance-relic-softie

DISPLAY’s latest split tape features two exciting artists from the Finnish ambient scene: Romance Relic and Softie.

On the A-Side we find a gripping cinematic piece from Romance Relic titled “Crystallized Night Jessamine”. Emblematic of the artist’s signature sound, the 18 minute track cycles through blurry and intimate scenes of delicate piano weighted by heavy synth drones. Like the soundtrack to a short film, the piece feels as though it tells a story in several parts, all connected by a distinctly contemplative tone.

Temperatures sink down to ice cold on the b-side where we find Softie experimenting with ambient laced techno and euphoric synth passages. One of the most club forward tracks to release on DISPLAY in some time, “Safe Haven (City Of Tears)” takes you on an emotional 20 minute journey capturing the feeling of a hazed out club’s most eyes-down moments. Feelings of meditation, euphoria, and weightlessness intertwine to paint a distinct and decisive statement from the artist.

Softie - Safe Haven (City Of Tears)

Flower Field

The latest release on Tobago Tracks sees Berlin-based producer
Alobhe deliver four blistering cuts of forward thinking club
music.

State Space encapsulates the paranoia and angst felt in an
increasingly polarised world, typified by feelings of helplessness.
The EP spans four sonically diverse pieces, opening with ‘State
Space Conversion’, which introduces Alobhe’s visceral and direct
aesthetic.

While ostensibly lo-fi, tracks such as ‘Numb’ and ‘Reload’ contain
elements of progressive experimentation that challenge the
perception of conventional lo-fi hardware based club music.
Numb’s nauseating warped sample over a solemn distorted
electric guitar dirge epitomises the lack of agency felt whilst
voyeuristically consuming the spectacle of the modern world.
These themes are continued in ‘Reload’, where out of sync drums
and lead loosely give the track shape, implode briefly, and then
reassert themselves, further adding to this sense of unease.
With an enigmatic online presence and little to go by outside of
her moniker, Alobhe has created a jarring fusion of electro, black
metal, techno and sample based experimentation.

State Space is available across all platforms the 10th of November.
