Wa?ste - No Break

The 38th release of katharsis and our final release of 2023 is the prodigious compilation "Embracing Darkness, Absorbing Light" featuring a vast array of artist beloved by the label. Throughout the grandiose line-up of the 36 tracks, the listener is absorbed by various differing interpretations of the theme outlined in the title of the album. Some of the invited artist went full into introverted progressions and meditative sounds, while others focused on aggressive rhythms or anthemic melodies. But even though the styles and techniques of the songs differ from each other, the artists seem to have some commonality in their sonic palettes that binds it all together in a mutual love for music as a healing force of nature <3

The 43rd release of katharsis is the album “Love Language” by the Danish artist icfam. It is evocative like a long makeout session, tongue action specifically. icfam celebrates the long journeys to daydreamy destinations on a record that is romantic and peaceful, yet at times highly energetic.

Through streamlined synthesis and arrangements, icfam produces a composite world of sound that carries a message of love and simplicity. Despite the meticulous care for sound design on this record, the use of intuitive sounds and phrases so simple, sometimes approaches a sort of mindlessness. Building conceptually on sinewaves as the only sound that really exists, the artist develops a nonfragmented illusion through obsession over the harmonic series and melodies within melodies.

Love Language is both reassuring and mystifying, like your favourite lullaby. As well as intoxicatingly painful like exquisite torture. icfam wants to express a special feeling one might get from going to the hospital. A cathartic feeling of being safe and held.

If you’ve fallen from above
You’re walking with your woes
If there’s nowhere to run
The happy hospital

Tears on my face, my angel
Love me for years and ages
Please grab my hand, my angel (angel)

Take me away, angel

Take me away, angel
Just take me away, angel
Take me away, angel

Lyrics:

scrambled frequency
neural impulse
unearthed

i know
i know
i know

breaking down outside
breaking my mind
breaking

i know i died again
can't run away
from what you say to me
take away my everyday
i can't even
help myself to make it better

breaking down outside (me it's taking)
breaking my mind (it's me it's breaking)
breaking (it's me it's taking)

i know i died again
can't run away
from what you say to me
take away my everyday
i can't even
help myself to make it better

i know (me it's taking)
i know (it's me it's breaking)
i know (it's me it's taking)

there’s a mending slipping in a bitter end
there's an ending waiting for things to begin
there's a mending slipping the end (i know)

i know
i know
i know

Nap nyugszik-Nap kel
