UMFANG – Symbolic Use Of Light

Hessle Audio are excited to announce the release of the self-titled debut album by Pearson Sound, aka label co-head David Kennedy. Characteristically minimalist in approach, its nine tracks use a handful of elements to craft mesmerising, self-contained worlds, alive with motion and near-subliminal detail: from vast and inky landscapes, to electrifying rhythm tracks, where layers of percussion and bass tumble over one another like rocks in a landslide. Recorded between 2013-4, Pearson Sound documents a distinct phase of Kennedy's studio explorations. "I had a signal chain set up that I was really happy with, and I started sending my machines through the same processes" he says. Expanding upon the techniques underpinning his recent REM and Starburst 12"s, its tracks emerged swiftly through improvised jam sessions; some were captured in a minimum of takes, while others later took shape through extensive sculpting and post-processing. "A lot of it was made by feeding the the same sounds between two different pieces of equipment and they'd end up feeding back between each other and snowballing. On some tracks it's about harnessing that and taking it to the brink before it disintegrates, and some of them are about just letting it go full-blown out of control." The result is a record of striking contrasts: bold, stark and visceral, yet also subtle, harmonically complex and deceptively playful. While Pearson Sound's livewire percussive energy remains inextricably rooted in the club, this exploratory studio process has created Kennedy's most wide-ranging yet coherent body of work to date: a suite of thrillingly impulsive, expressive and open-ended music, untethered from restrictions of form.

Roza Roza - ---------

Mörk white finally launches to provide a small suboutlet for more off-Mörk sounds. Exploring rougher edges and surfaces as well as some more minimalistic and stripped back areas and a bit of sly electro.

No Moon opens up the series with 2x12"'s of vintage warmth & fire. Rollocking techno production and Alien vs Predator atmospheres & wails on Space Station kicks things off, rolling into the crunchy piano roller that is Unusual Light Curve - undulating chords & bass washed over pretty much the entire package.

The title track I Left My Dial In Pirovac is a two part epic split across each 12", the first a chippering 303 peppered with rickety drums and ghostly glacial pads. Part 2 is a heavy thundering roller for the deep in the night. Long epic rollouts and slowly evolving textures plus a little dab of acid to spice things up.

Everything Has A Return slays the heart with dusty, emotionally charged synths waving in the wind over blown-to-pieces depth charge kicks and hankering percussion and proto-acidic flecks. 

Lastly, Is It Vibey Is It Yolo rides us out with another hammering epic. Lolloping drum lunges scourge the soft, 80's beach soap opera softness. I swear this is a synth instrumental cover of Don Henley's The Boys of Summer. Someone help me out ye?

Claude Speeed returns to Planet Mu, two years after the 'Sun Czar Temple' EP, with his second album 'Infinity Ultra'. He describes the record he's been creating since he started making computer music as one "conceiving an interior territory: an abstract space to process the oppression, confusion and insanity of the contemporary age; and to formulate an honest emotional and artistic response - a psychic jumping off point into an uncertain future." 
 
'Infinity Ultra' takes inspiration from sleep paralysis, monumental artworks, children’s anime, abandoned places, ghostly rave pasts and terrifying silicon valley futures, and the limitless anger of the digital present.
 
These influences have been channelled into an impressionistic burst of varied creativity: Shimmering VSTs; monolithic noise; euphoric blocks of colourful sound; trance stabs and the citrus rush of hardcore; towering drones, and skynet math rock – all rendered against cold, sinister space and nostalgic synth melodies.
 
The album reveals the artist’s Scottish roots, viewed at a hazy distance from his Berlin home - a series of memories of Glasgow’s experimental psychedelic underground, its DIY rock scene and defiant club hedonism. These genre relationships are blurred and at times they contrast with audible brutality; the result is a hybrid, sculptured way of rendering music – minimal specifics, maximum emotions.

Infinity Ultra

Claude Speeed - Fifth Fortress (14th July)

‘White Punks on E’ is the taste of bike chains rubbing against black leather. Heavy cast iron forged across studs and hot-wired organs. The howls from blazed skull hordes jacked up to distortion engines broadcasting into neglected cellar units. 
It's shrill echoes from the parking lot carried along the financial district, overturning lobotomised business lunches, attache cases and $50 slick-backs. Nasty club rock fed through biohazard cassettes, doom arcades, sabres and scorpion tattoos - new blood to rock the neighbourhood and a pleasure to welcome Stratton into the fold.
