been hard to listen to this since we broke up

@gonima has been on the SVNSET WAVES radar for 6 years now, so it is a true, true honor to finally present his new EP, Strands, with you all. The EP features four gorgeously intricate new original tracks from the Montreal-based producer, each fizzling and dissolving into a mesmerizingly complex yet comforting world. I can only imagine that this is what a computer's daydreams might sound like.
In addition to the four original tracks, each song has a coinciding remix. From @heoliene's hypnotizingly clicky minimalism, to @brakence's super-textural glitch pop, @jimkimchi's vast hyper-IDM complexion, and Permutia's (@fltx & @m_y_s_e_l_f) goofy illbient banger this EP truly has something in it for all the glitch heads.
In addition to its digital release, a limited edition cassette will also accompany the release. Be sure to stream the album, support the artists, and pick up a tape. Huge thanks to gonima for making this absolute treasure of a release and being patient through the tedious process, all of the remixers, who gave their beautiful minds and perspectives on these tracks, Jesse Osborne-Lanthier for the perfect artwork, and all of the listeners who chose to make memories with these songs. Love you all!

Shadows (Brakence/Trabint)

just trust me (feat. VALENTINE, brakence, & kmoe)

search & destroy

i'm back

composition, instrumentation, production all by me and @brakence

[Verse 1]
brakence
It's oversaturated
Lock in adrenaline
I'm so detached and jaded
This shit'll spread me thin

Colliding With Mars
I'm unsteady
Bypassing a firewall
I think I'm running out of options
What I'd give to say I'm not involved
Whatever changes, I remain a target

brakence & Colliding With Mars
And they're telling me "boy, you just gotta let go"
But I just stick to the ceiling like mental velcro
Cause what I thought was an answer was just an echo
I did the deed but my spirit's still in the escrow

Colliding With Mars
El problema siempre es el dinero
Yo quiero sexo en exceso
I want to shed this
Constant, unvaried
Looping hell

[Chorus]
brakence & Colliding With Mars
Fucked up, no luck
I'm in a rut
Stuck, disgusted and I'm

[Verse 2]
Colliding With Mars
I never thought to try (go, go, go-go)
Something to kiss the sky (go, go, go-go)
I'm in a thought loop using dream logic
To solve a math equation in the dark
I'm in the dark
I can't find my way

brakence
You're not my enemy
And from my head to my heart
I just can't hold it back
In the cathedral, torn and imbibed
I'm begging for stretching hands
I had the faith you'll swim through the depths
And pull me from mud to land

Colliding With Mars
Requiem æternam dona ei
Domine, amén

[Chorus]
brakence & Colliding With Mars
Fucked up, no luck
I'm in a rut
Stuck, disgusted and I'm

So happy to bring you this absolutely invigorating track from our pal brakence. I was out skating when I was first sent this release and automatically fell in love, especially with firstego. It's such a seamless collage of different styles, unique textures, and gorgeous lyricism. The rest of the album is equally wonderful and if you still don't know about brakence, now's your chance.

brakence - firstego

i don’t know me outside this head
you reminded me of what I thought free meant
and so we made a friendship out of finding out who we are
and i’ve stopped trying since you told me i’m only what i want
that ain’t me

so could you call me over without the bitter hesitation to place your money where your mouth is
all my thoughts are clouded but i can still say i’m bout it soon as my head gon cave in
and if i had the chance to remake all my decisions well i wouldn’t take it
cos you got me fucked up but if i don’t use this as agency i’ll never change

breathe easy

but sincerely it’s my fault
been chasing the answer to what it is we want
and i ain’t found out yet
but i’ll wait for the right time
gotta few bad voices i might lie
so just tell me if you’ve had enough
i don’t want you stressed out
so i pray to god the best of me is showing when I’m with you
gotta a ways to go my eyes are open is that an issue
and i’m prone to show a lack of potent
it's like fuck my indecision I need to restore my focus
cos I’ve been wasted on myself i’ll just let you know
ain’t past mistakes that i made, i don’t let it go
i can’t forget anything need you to hold me over once again 

i take you everywhere with me
waiting for a day to arrive
cos i can think i’m on fire
every time you burn out my eyes

so call me over without the bitter hesitation to place your money where your mouth is
all my thoughts are clouded but i can still say i’m bout it soon as my head gon cave in
and if i had the chance to remake all my decisions well i wouldn’t take it
cos you got me fucked up but if i don’t use this as agency i’ll never change
