Nissan Groove - Untitled Edit

For Careful #5 Glasgow based solo artist Cucina Povera offers an audio study of the practice of swimming and the socio-architectural dimensions of "the pool". Cucina maintains her minimalist approach to production combining field recordings of water with her own spoken words and sparse, baroque-style delicate synth. At "the pool" where “there’s no sense of rush or competition" Cucina aptly details the ritualistic pleasures she derives from swimming, observation and functionalist design surroundings with multi-dimensional sound work.

#5 Cucina Povera - The Spectrolite Pool

C90 tape only, out early June

Contrast, distance, romantic differences and polar energies intertwine on this mixtape, the first for both Laila and Purely Physical Teeny Tapes.

Beginning with a single flute the mix soundtracks a journey that continually retracts and expands in intensity.

Poignant modern classical meets twisted art-pop, aggressive post industrial and Cantonese spoken word, bubbly new age, erratic and personal home productions with dives into celestial synth.

M. Quake
'Fall In Love With Yourself'
Vocal/dub double A side 7" & digital
Mastered by Rupert Clervaux
Out on Valentine's Day 2020

Following Locks On Our Doors, Not On Our Hearts, a long form confessional for Blackest Ever Black, M. Quake returns to redirect relationship lament into alternate, shifting worlds for 'Fall in Love With Yourself' via Purely Physical.

Intentionally released on Valentines Day, we are treated first to an off the cuff philosophy on “how to love”. Side A uses a sample from an interview with Eartha Kitt, her voice sitting atop Quake’s stripped back, sticks ‘n’ stones production style which utilises background noise elements in the interview - birds chirping, dogs barking - with Eartha’s powerful attitude emphasised by an almost gospel-like dubbed out organ.

Side B, in classic instrumental dub style, acts almost as a demonstration or exhibition of this new found self love, giving us the fully fleshed out version that unveils all the sounds present in the A side and plays to all of the producer's strengths. What’s left of the vocal is echoed to smithereens, the sub bass line and resonant chords all harmoniously combining to create a surreal, Disneyland-like utopian setting.

Having previously held court in several secret circles including F ingers, Th Duo, Tarcar and - possibly - Kallista Kult, Quake’s influences are audible and there for the taking. With 'Fall in Love With Yourself' and its BEB predecessor, a significant solo narrative is beginning to take shape, shimmying out of the dark.
