Deep in outer space a multi-generational ship approaches a asteroid field. As the citizen's are all in stasis, there is no one to see the oncoming danger.

RUN IT BACK

Gonçalo Penas - Ego De Espinhos [SUB027]  
Release date: January 18, 2019 
Vinyl & digital pre-order: https://goncalopenas.bandcamp.com/album/ego-de-espinhos

Continuing Subtext’s exploratory electronics and devastating sonics is the expansive Ego De Espinhos, the debut full-length from twenty-two year old Porto, Portugal-based artist Gonçalo Penas.

Described by Penas as a series of “self-exorcisms,” Ego De Espinhos is the cathartic outcome of a highly introspective process. Shaped by opposing forces and instincts, the LP touches on themes that are at once intimate, yet omnipresent. Splendor confronts destruction; id confronts super-ego.

Created solely with digital instruments designed and built by the artist, Ego De Espinhos is the result of Penas’ improvisations.

Gonçalo Penas - Ego De Espinhos

Red Program

the brand new sky is falling (excerpt)

Floating by a landscape of decay on the river of death
As the smog vanishes from the morning to the gateway of the sun
Past mothers whisper the spells of love and the curse of knowledge
An immortal creature lies upon the mountain of flowers and fruit
When the ancient manuscript echoes through the hall of the temple
We will all dream about the myth of our afterlife

After launching his new label katharsis with a 30 track compilation trilogy featuring a big range of artists from all across the globe, jjjacob caries on with his own music by releasing the 6-track EP Mythos under his alternative moniker Basura on the label. The EP will be released on September 12th with premieres coming out on AQNB, Soul Feeder and Ma3azef the previous weeks.

With katharsis, jjjacob has set out to explore how we as humans find emotional cleansing in music, which was showcased thoroughly on the compilation trilogy by thematizing the affective value of the basic elements: The Flow of Water, The Burn of Fire and The Breath of Air. The fourth element of earth seems to be missing, but this is exactly what Mythos tries to deal with by submerging in the ancient mythologies of humans on earth.

On Mythos, Basura sends us on a range of spiritual journeys through the archaic stories of past civilizations. With heavy use of granular synthesis, odd time signatures and clusters of obscure samples, the EP takes us through landscapes of death, scriptures of mysticism and sagas of our souls. The grandiose melodies of jjjacob are to be found on some of the tracks, but as Basura he covers them in strange textures and murky drums. Dive into Basuras musical tales of sorcerous seeresses, prehistoric rituals and underworldly atmospheres.

Portugal, 2029 A.D.

"The Endeavour To Understand" rose from the ashes of the nuclear fire.

Consisting of sci-fi amalgam of post-internet Dracula sounds, 90’s Asian movie soundtracks, digital soundscapes and dreamy glitch, ultimately being an epic personal journey where each track is a chapter of a massive story.

The fate of humankind depends on this album. Your mission is to protect it.
