R000000M w/ Luna Woelle - 01/06/2022

Out now here: 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.

innerinnerlife - 'just a little more life with u' (TAR013)

DISPLAY’s latest split tape features two tracks by the artist innerinnerlife: one solo piece and one collaboration with the label’s founder, Kid Smpl.

The release begins with the minimal and earnest solo piece “The Green Ray.” Finding inspiration in film, the artist melds together warm floating pads, pointillist synths and solemn vocal edits as the track twist through three cinematic movements. All of this culminates in a heartfelt and emotional sound reminiscent of the artist’s previous work.

On the B-Side this sound begins to deconstruct itself with the collaborative track “Our Heart Knows A Way Out.” Here we find the collaborators Kid Smpl & innerinnerlife taking a similar sonic palette to “The Green Ray” and filtering it down to a delicate, spacious piece. Joyous strumming guitars and tranced-out synths are stretched out to meet the stillness of reverb-drench pianos and clipped-out vocal runs, with both of the artists’ sounds finding home in the stillness.

[TRUST XY.3] STENNY :: D.TIFFANY :: CLATTERBOX :: VC–118A [out november 2023]

NEVER SLEEP presents a lesson in the dangers of time travel and pisshead nationalism on SINKING SUBURB, the new EP from REAL LIES.

The small-town storytelling of Kevin Lee Kharas and Patrick King channels Stephen King via Paul Weller on their latest release, the EP a suburban revenge fantasy taking in family feuds, treacherous friends, funfair beatings, the long-defunct high-street poster shop Athena and the tendency for teenage Edens to curdle into dystopias behind your back.

All three tracks instantly conjure their own eerie, electronic atmospheres that shine and surge like the sun across motorway adjacent football pitches. We left some words below to the conquistadors themselves…

SINKING SUBURB is about a return to a childhood hometown that has been trapped in a bubble and eerily preserved behind a “time-resistant wall” as the world has changed around it. And the surreal events that take place upon that return. An Eden turned sinister. The air is bottle green.

In SHIRLEY ROAD I return to by hometown on the run from some unspecified crime and find my dad still asleep on the family sofa, as Cremonese-Atalanta plays on Channel 4’s ‘Football Italia’ show from the 1990s. The ominous sounds of a dial-up modem punctuate the static silence of one of the “lizard-brain English Sundays” that used to be a reliably sleepy and tedious end to every working week in the 90s. Until the internet tore life off its temporal hinges and made boredom a thing of the past. I hope to find sanctuary there but instead find a ‘sinking suburb’ that hunts me like prey because I’m an intruder from a different time, the walls beneath the classic posters from Athena high street shop “growing teeth” and chasing me across the strange landscape.

In SHADOWLANDS there’s a reminiscence of how we used to try to escape the listless boredom of our teenage hometown: in my mate Dan’s blood red 1.4 SR Nova. (It’s pure coincidence that it’s the same car Mike Skinner talks about in HAS IT COME TO THIS?) Dan was renowned for being the fastest, most dangerous driver in our hometown and we would get stoned and let him bomb us up and down country lanes. It was incredibly stupid but in the moment it was a kind of escape, at least until the engine stopped.

I REMEMBER HIGH STREETS is a suburban revenge fantasy in which the real reason for my return is revealed: I have come back to confront the traitor Simon Mahon, who I’m still convinced was getting off with my first girlfriend/first love when I was 15 years old. This is one of the “secrets” talk about in the new last verse – I have my own but I’ve been away from the town so long now that they no longer seem particularly significant or threatening. The town no longer has a hold over me – so while the town is no longer home to me, that has its advantages.

The whole EP is inspired by Jeff VanderMeer's Southern Reach trilogy, The Jam and memory loss.
