Textur is proud to present the debut EP of Quiver. His EP Artificial Tranquility (TXT-07) commutes between emotional narratives and persistent patterns. The music aims to create a listening experience that invokes both eeriness and familiarity, placed somewhere in between organism and cynicism.

Creating a sonic meeting-space, in which organic and warm timbres from the pipe organ and other acoustic instruments intertwine with the cold and cynical properties of digital sound-design, the EP explores worlds and timbres that are essentially ‘in between’.

The photo-mosaic cover-art has been created by photographer Nicola Hein. Much like the music found on the EP, it has taken form as an abstract piece composed of contrasting yet recognisable pieces of textures and shredded materials.

The EP is the seventh release on Textur, a small non-profit label and music collective rooted in Copenhagen, with an ambition to create a platform for exposure, collaboration and community among artists outside the commercial music scene.

Timesaver is Xen Model’s third full length album and second release on the Causal Chain imprint. The 9-track LP stays true to the duo’s eccentric sound while delving into the introspective side of their productions. Club-focused head nodders “Pin Cycle”, “Face Forward”, and “Controller” accompany key tracks like “Arm’s Edge Reach” and “Grip Dial”, which channel the duo’s affinity for ambient music. “A Bright Star” spotlights a catchy guitar hook and features close collaborator 11ai. Xen Model’s signature play on halftime structure is engaged in bass-heavy cuts “Ripstream” and “Local Group”. The album comes to a close with a radio edit of their previously released track “Lurch”, which clusters the duo’s myriad styles and influences in an encapsulating statement of the Xen Model sound.

@mondoriviera is the moniker of Ravenna-based musician and visual artist Lorenzo Camera. Producing music at the crossroad between late-night z-series horror movie soundtracks, 2d modular synthesis digital soundscapes and new-school plunderphonics, after his debut “Il Tempio degli Uomini Granchio” on New Weird Italian label Riforma, and the folk-vaporwave soundtrack for videogame Nott Longa on Artetetra, Mondoriviera is back with 10 new tracks jumping from the golden era of glossy horror VHS to new millennium goblin muzak and sonic delusions.

At the threshold between early 2000s music videos nostalgia, childhood memories and digital drifts, the second album by Lorenzo Camera, aka mondoriviera, explores the sentimental impacts of contemporary archetypes in our imagery with the help of post-vaporwave sounds. [The life of] “Frenton Cantolay", a parody of 'Frampton Comes Alive', the 1976 pop record, is a sonic journey into a contemporary Olympus inhabited by spiritually-corrupted zombies. In this parallel world, zombie celebrities, only apparently outside the afflictions of life, live at the mercy of Fortune, praying to the graces of the Goddess who exists above all world's logic.

Yet every success reveals the arbitrariness of their path; Fortune brutally elevates people to heaven only to eat their heads alive, while the mass keeps working, alienated, just to sustain their futile concatenation of needs. A timeless hero, the zombie Frenton Cantolay attempts to rise from mere worker to superstar, chasing unattainable dreams without accepting that we are not the same in this Olympus.

Echoing pastiches of pastiches of theories and pieces of lost media, mondoriviera's album reflects on the afterlife of 2000s musical archetypes and at the same time tries to open up alternative futures. A glitching pornography of our mediatic times, the zombie is a character that questions our deepest desires and social constructs. Is there an alternative?

The scratchy, phantasmagoric sounds of Mondoriviera create a sense of alienation and possibility. After the psychedelia and Creepshow's imagery already present in Lorenzo's debut record 'Il Tempio degli Uomini Granchio', this album represents a further hallucination, a soundscape for an unrealised deranged metaphysical videoclip, a crooked ballad for a love yet to come.

@charles-verni reveals a sonic landscape of found sound and dislocated genre tropes on new album.

Embracing post-irony, ‘I Was Today Years Old’ makes a tongue-in-cheek nod to the ephemeral nature of internet culture. It’s a disorientating assemblage, transmuting contemporary styles into something more fleeting, more elusive.

Our premiere finds Verni time-stretching and weaving disintegrating textures around drill drums and smudged detritus.

‘I Was Today Years Old’ is out May 12th.

Following stellar tracks on Eastern Nurseries' 2022 compilation 'Wild Love to Grow' and 'Songs For Sirens' earlier this year, Mirror Organs' label debut "Sunless" sees the London-based producer deliver a strident selection of compositions that shimmer on new horizons of what contemporary ambient music can be.

Known for his previous work on his own imprint Steep Incline, Mirror Organs' second album sees the artist in a moment of transition. Sculpted granular harmonics and glitched-out drum programming encircle one another while spectral disembodied vocals cut through with an uncanny valley sensibility. Sonic blasts and ghostly drones offer dynamic richness throughout the album's opening oeuvre, while the tail-end of "Sunless" conjures an altogether headier atmosphere driven by its dancefloor aesthetic impulses. Cut-up breakbeats introduce a readiness to embrace a stroboscopic point of view, set against a glorious backdrop of youthful, post-rave nostalgia. Playful by design, 'Sunless' markedly bears influence from the UK's rich history of dance music innovation as much as it does from recent European ambient movements - a returnal moment driven by Pooley's first experiences with electronic music in the late '00s.
