Severin Black & Vanessa Bedoret 'First Passage' [AV007]

Since 2014, enviably prolific Bulgarian producer Evitceles has managed to build an impressive musical discography, which spreads over a multitude of electronic genres and is released across the world by labels like Opal Tapes, Yerevan Tapes, and Seagrave, among others. After his 2021 melancholic drifter "Naive Slumber", Evitceles returns to Amek for his new full-length "Accession".

His first solo vinyl appearance is a gripping and emotional listen from start to finish. Its emotional narrative feels touching and distant at the same time, its overall brooding tone is often disrupted by lighter ambient passages or melancholic synth work. Evitceles is constantly on the lookout for new always raw soundscapes, gritty and loud beats, and his intuitive approach to sampling, field recording, and vocal layering gives his music just the right amount of imperfections and organic elements to keep it personal and human. "Accession" consists of everything one would love about Evitceles' self-described underwater sound but also hints at multiple new directions and aesthetics the project might be headed to. Without a doubt, this record will remain a significant piece of the ever-growing Evitceles body of work.

EFAE012 Iron Sight - Gimmie/Quiet 7"

Guixine, pronounced gwisin, is a Korean folkloric ghost that haunts the living world out of spite. On the debut album by Guixine for Psychic Liberation, Woodland Fantasies, Guixine haunts through fifteen tracks of pressurized techno with deceptively complex minimalist gestures. Woodland Fantasies is rooted in a scene of narrative dichotomy for Guixine, wherein the forest exists as a “resting place for aspirations” while also the setting for an eroto-charged male getaway. Throbbing psychedelia pulsates through the album, soundtracking Guixine’s hedonistically inclined character, K. K embarks on layers of sexual viscerality in the tactile and relational, transcending the material sexual escapades of the group sex meet-ups in the forest environment towards a chemically vesseled psycho-spiritual realm. Negotiating K’s anti-climactic post sex purge with nymphs and forest characters, the emptying out of K elicits a portal of stripping away the inner burdens. K’s catharsis is only an entry point to their fevered experience, as K holds clutches a gay pornography magazine in the back of a van they enter  deeper and more difficult to ascertain “void”. We, the listeners, are left on a cliffhanger around K’s fate.
On Woodland Fantasies, Guixine gives you a long-form meditation on pointed rhythm efficacy through pressurized clicks and boiling bass curves. Composed entirely using the FM 8 VST, the longform release feels something like a peak Raster-Noton album, or Sigha’s “Purification Loops” through a Mika Vainio lens. Recorded during what the anonymously guarded Guixine recalls as their “worst depression of January 2022”, the album accentuates a winter isolationist sonic makeup, yet cleverly mixed for a louder and more sociable potential. Guixine’s anecdotal woodland fantasy sets a tone for a headier listener's evening nature stroll towards a night of unprecedented indulgences and potential. Full pressure and full volume applied, the walk towards the titillating unknown is enveloped by Guixine’s psycho-psychedelic-eroto journey.

Preview of KH029: Zaliva-D - Immorality
Release date: 8th June 2020

Beijing-based duo Zaliva-D returns with a second installment on Knekelhuis. After last year’s great EP, released on Shanghai label SVBKVLT, Zaliva-D unleashes a new record in these unreal pandemic times. At its core is a concept of data’s capacity to overcome any boundary, whether that’s physical, digital or mental. 
The material at hand, created after the second European tour, pushes heavily through walls, with bombastically accentuated kicks. Blended with joyous, psychedelic songwriting, it is a testament to the power of music to unite despite involuntary confinement.

Immorality

Zaliva-D - Immorality [EP preview]

Saint Abdullah // “In God’s Image” // 2xCD on Psychic Liberation // 
Release date: August 21, 2020

Saint Abdullah, composed of Tehran-born brothers Mohammad and Mehdi, have fine-tuned their vision of conceptual, blown-out dub and free jazz with “In God’s Image,” an ambitious twenty-song double CD on Psychic Liberation. The opus by the two Iranians living in New York, is full of mourning and rage, but these affects only scratch the surface of the work’s emotional and formal heterogeneity. 

Like the image gracing its cover—a tiny, dusty peykan, its roof fitted with an image of Ruhollah Khomeini and cone speakers—Saint Abdullah uses DIY minimalism to deliver maximal messaging. On “Problem,” distorted percussion, Shia oration, and a sample of the late Nipsy Hussle meld into a cathartic club burner, while the rhythms and lifted string arpeggiations on “Potion for sorrow” induce hazy cinematics, the duo’s attempt at Persian stoner boom bap. 

Elsewhere are instances of improvised jamming, melancholic twinkling, and pensive restraint. The powerfully eclectic statement by Saint Abdullah includes appearances by saxophonist Travis Laplante, who blows a spiralling noir line over feedbacking cacophony. On another track, Moor Mother delivers a poetic lashing on Western imperialists who rain missiles on hospitals, grieves the bodies piling up as capital gets sucked from the Earth. 

The sample work on “In God’s Image” draws heavily from Iranian documentaries, and includes the brothers’ field recordings from Tehran and New York. Heretical combinations collide senses of antiquity and contemporaneity, resisting the many orientalist reads on Iranian culture and politics. In this struggle, Saint Abdullah conveys many emotional registers, from exhausted depression to righteous indignation. 

Among many things, the image of Khomeini on the cover, which often scandalizes American audiences, represents the overthrow of a 2,500-year-long monarchy. All forms of dehumanization receive the sonic snakebite of Saint Abdullah, and “In God’s Image” resuscitates the revolutionary potential of music that pulls from the traditions of oppressed peoples in both the East and West. 

Psychic Liberation, in operation since 2018, is an experimental music label started in Brooklyn, New York, currently based in The Hague, Netherlands. The label is distributed in North America by Fantastique, and in EU/UK by Boomkat.

PLIB007 - SAINT ABDULLAH - A7. Abadan Don [S. ENGLISH EDIT]

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new video from Evitceles. Following acclaimed releases for electronic powerhouses as Opal Tapes, Yerevan Tapes, Seagrave or Sofia-based Amek Collective among others, Bulgarian producer Etien Slavchev presents Нелюбов (Sound + Matter). Roughly translating in English as 'Nonloveʼ itʼs exactly what youʼll get from the record. Нелюбов is mostly occupying the lower ends of both the frequency and the emotional specters of Evitcelesʼ music. 

Today we present the video for “Weak Eyes”, one of our favorite tracks on the album and a slow burning, rhythmic work of haunting atmospheres with a trip-hop vibe. The whole album is an incredible work of genre bending tracks and shows the diverse range of Evitceles. 

Нелюбов is out September 25th and you can pick it up on now on Bandcamp.
