g a b _ i  (@gab_ii) is a music producer, sound designer, and music technology enthusiast, based on Copenhague, Denmark.  

Comprising an enigmatic interplay, a carefully selected session flourishes within heavy bass, languid strings, textural ambience and avant garde cadence. 

Special thanks to Gabriel for the mix and a salute to everyone.

Artist: SG (Andrew Pekler) 
Title: For Lovers Only / Rain Suite  
Cat#: faitiche 33
Release: Oct 6th 2023
Format: LP/DL

SG is none other than Andrew Pekler returning to faitiche with an album of sentimental guitar escapism. For Lovers Only / Rain Suite features ten tracks made using only an electric guitar and a handful of effects pedals (plus some additional recordings of rain) and finds Pekler once again attempting to reconicile his tendencies towards kitsch, experimentation and minimalism.   What does Pekler's pseudonym SG stand for? Sentimental Guitar? Sound Gallery? Shy Guy? Sad Gnosis? Saudade Glamour? Soft Goth? We don't know, but we asked notorious Chicago romantic Sam Prekop for his take on the album – his reply:

It’s a wonder where the rivers go and far, how fast or slow. 

Just seconds to remember, who can forget,
when you are lost. 

I think to recount every step, in both hands, eyes open, the clouds unfold, one two three. 
Every other step, just as well.

Where the moss is soft, you know strong. How many hours, days?
I could have been careful, did I forget? 

Never mind. 
Waking up, in these arms, where the rivers go, slow. 
One two three, one two three.

Xpone 10 – Slowfoam

WL//WH is pleased to premiere the closing track, "Introspecteuf", of the forthcoming debut EP "La Lune Brille" via the French label, Human Disease Network, from Rennes-based producer and member of the ÖND collective, Lemon Schaden.

The 4-track EP delivers a heady and intricate hybrid of hypnotic downtempo club rhythms and emotive spacey atmospherics, built on stripped and glitchy techno, chilling Trip-Hop, and tweaked-out Electro with intoxicating resonant Bass tones and crunchy Breakbeat grooves.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
It's the story of a road, a never-ending path. The story of a night that grows longer and lasts longer. Along with her story, it goes through a before, an after, and a present moment.
In the beginning, there's the party, in the massive alchemy of a booming culture. A free and unbridled party, in a crossroads of sound, in unison. The rhythms, sometimes tribal, sometimes haunting, blend with a tormented melancholy. Closed in a box, open in a field, the aim is the same: to lose all its elements. Then time stops and space expands. Darkness reigns as the mind gradually ignites until it reaches explosion point. Consciousness vibrates as the body comes alive. The orchestra grows louder and louder until it reaches its peak. Finally, reality returns, a future that hurts. The clock starts ticking again, and the field of vision narrows. The temptation is strong to flee, to hang it all up. One last time, the eyes lift, the moon shines and then it's gone.

i overthink too much
i overthink too much
its just usually the thoughts
they’ve always came to life

but this time might be nice
this time might be alright
this time you could be the one
and not for a couple nights

maybe for life
but in my life, theres surprises
will you even like this

i overthink too much
i overthink too much
i overthink too much
i overthink too much

i overthink too much (ohhh, overthinking)
i overthink too much (oh, oh, oh, overthinking)
i overthink too much (oh, oh, oh, overthinking)
i overthink too much (oh, oh, oh, overthinking)

overthinking
