I suppose one day, this key of mine will be in use.
When the roots of the trees have grown over the ruins, of what used to be my city.
When the gunpowder in my chest will fade, as the time goes on.
Until then, I’ll let the dawn fall on.
And wait until I can call a this same old place a home.

Until that moment I’ll browse through the field of trees, with golden appels.
My dream of peaceful days are as sweet as persimmons.
My memory of Omas voice as vivid as the violets, she used to murmur quietly -
No man is free until the we accept kindness, until then we shall be wise and clever and more quiet than the mice, do take my word for it. I’ll save you the trouble and give some peace of mind.

Crying feels as bitter as holding sumac above my eyes,
I try my best to understand that emptiness is what welcomes me, but that does not feel right.
But I still believe that this old key of mine, will kiss a familiar door, at least one last time.

'Inalienable Lights of White Tomorrows' is the debut EP of Amen Records founder 'Hunt' (@hunttt), who began to explore how to express himself through soundscapes during the corona pandemic - a time of seclusion and isolation.

The record paints the story of a new beginning: a transition from feelings of uncertainty to one of a brighter future, while holding onto hope during the process. Each track can be seen as a snapshot of various stops on the road of emotional transformation Through the beginning and end of the recent lockdowns: while ever evolving noise and drone fills the background of melancholic guitar riffs in the first half of the EP, it steadily, but nonlinearly, transitions into bright, high-pitched lead synths, soothing melodies, and upbeat drum patterns.

'Inalienable Lights of White Tomorrows' is a blend of many musical styles and genres such as shoegaze, alternative rock, ambient/drone and electronica, and represents Amen Record's philosophy of collapsing the boundaries between those categories.

Epilogue

RougeHotel - RainDrifting

Holding the tension of opposites is a theme running throughout the work of Angelo Harmsworth, and the six pieces comprising Vent are certainly no exception. Inspired by the different and oftentimes clashing forces comprising our weather systems, the New Mexico-born but now Berlin-based musician and producer envisioned his “compositions as micro-ecologies,” wherein “powerful waves push off one another.” The patterns emerging from this captivating music represent some of Harmsworth’s most complex to date. Swells of foreboding frequencies and jarring maximalist textures may bear down on listeners, yet an undercurrent of bliss–so deeply submerged it borders on the subliminal–manages to infuse even the most tumultuous moments of Vent with a calming groundedness.


And also like the climate, especially in the age of the Anthropocene, this cassette unfolds in ways that are profoundly unpredictable. An artist known for his ability to span the divides separating underground noise, sound design, ambient and industrial, Harmsworth ensures that each successive piece makes a radical break from what preceded it. This quality becomes particularly apparent when contrasting sides. The nearly harsh-noise, distortion-charged moments punctuating Side A are nowhere to be found on Side B, which reveals moments of vast, spectral beauty that reflect his roots in the desert landscapes of the American Southwest.


Of course, this kind of sonic breadth only comes with experience, of which Harmsworth has plenty. Steadily recording and releasing experimental music since the early 2010s, he has worked with some of the sub-underground’s stand-out imprints, including Angoisse, Bathetic Records, Total Black, and Opal Tapes. Placed in the context of his impressive catalog, Vent can be seen as both a continuation of what came before and a bold new development.



Angelo Harmsworth is a musician & sound artist whose works tends to fluctuate between austerity and decadence. Currently based in Germany, he has been published by a network of experimental labels in addition to his own imprint, Lime Lodge.
