The moss-covered trees stretched high up into the sky; standing tall amidst the lingering fog that adorned the space with an air of magic and enchantment. Throughout the forest hidden pathways and charming wooden bridges meandered in different directions, bordered by plants and foliage in shades of vibrant green. Where they led was a mystery, you'd have to follow them in order to find out.

The Rain In The Trees marks Graintable's third meditative album for Ransom Note Records, following Herons and Universal Ash in 2018 and 2019 respectively. Impregnated with the sonic essence of the Pacific Northwest rainforests, the soothing ambient and drone sounds on his newest outing are entirely produced live via Graintable’s signature analog synth improvisations.

The title track is a blissful contemplation of the surrounding nature, recreating the introspection achieved when walking alone in the forest. Late-night sessions in the studio brought about unique ambient compositions, impregnated with the sonic essence of the Pacific Northwest - tracks of mind-boggling ambient, drone and synth that caress the listener’s ears like waves at the end of the Columbia River. These soothing sounds conjure up lonely places amid a vertiginous tempest, where the sampling of noise crescendos and softness of sounds come together to accompany the dream synths wrapped up in a cloud-like fleece.

Whilst his previous R$N release Universal Ash was a reflection on decay and loss, The Rain In The Trees is indeed like a phoenix rising from those same ashes. It touches on themes of rebirth and finding your way. Like new trees sprouting in the aftermath of a forest fire - which was often occurring in the Pacific Northwest during the recording of these soundscapes.

The title, 'The Rain In The Trees', is borrowed from a book of poems by W.S. Merwin. It’s saying ‘yes’ to creating art that’s deeply influenced by nature. Merwin was writing poetry inspired by the rainforest in Hawaii and similarly, here Graintable is making music that’s influenced by a different climatic region, the one of the rainforests in the Pacific Northwest.

When Isa Gordon sent the demo of this album to me, I knew I wanted to release it before I had got half way through it. I had previously released her super good Resili collaborative project, but I wasn’t quite prepared for how good this was going to be. Isa is patently a once-in-a-blue moon talen,t and I feel honoured to help get her unique, visionary sounds out into the world. This is next level programming & sound design but always with soul, and musicality. Sui generis.

Isa says:
“For you only came about in the lockdown winter in 2020. I started seeing a lot of beats and motifs that I’d been working on working together as a collection and spent a few months compiling, completing, mixing and weaving together the tracks into a coherent album. 

It was many nights tucked away entering the wormholes of making music and trying to honour the emotion contained in each song by expanding the sentiments within them into complete pieces, chasing down the journey in each one. 

It was a very personal, solitary exploration of how I interpret and compose instrumentals, with the rare global situation inhibiting outsider contact and influence. I include a mix of tempos, styles and freely combine digital and live instruments in order to serve whatever intention or feeling needs to be heard”. 

Isa is an  Ayrshire bred, Glasgow based producer and singer. 

Impressed upon by myriad styles; singing folk music since a youngster; playing guitar since a teen; 
producing electronic music thereafter. 

Now freely cherry-picking whatever sounds, instruments, words and methods serve the feeling. Exploring solitary beat-making as Isa Gordon, and singing and writing heartfelt lyrical ditties with her band Fantasy Land.

Released on vinyl (and digital) on 22/07/2022. Distributed by Kompakt.

"After drifting through the air filled with amazing company and heavy vibrations in eastern Germany, Lithuania and Czech Republic, Houschyar took a seat and worked on a new little selection of music for 432Hz Social Club. Despite all the love and colourful inspiration received during these past weeks, this show is a deeper dive into drowning post punk, mostly from the ape scene of the early 80s from Germany, Spain, Italy, France and Britain - an ironic and yet melancholic story of a never infamous guitar inferno. 
In the end there is a recording of the "habitat ensemble". A spontaneous project created in the swamps of the southern czech woods in the last days.
Take your time, smoke a cigarette, have a beer a bit earlier today and lay in the dirt with your fresh clothes while listening to this."
