Shanghai's @LaughingEars makes her @Decisionsrecords debut this February with 'Blue Dusk' EP. 

Previously Laughing Ears has released music via Beijing’s Ran Music and Hangzhou’s FunctionLab, and NTS stans may recognise her name following radio appearances on the cult East London station.

Sonically, Laughing Ears orbits around a kind of explorative, cyberpunk-ish universe as she draws from ambient, bass, footwork and noise. Here on 'Blue Dusk', she's "extending her praxis of psycho-sonic inquiry" (says the label) in order to "deep-dive [into] a crepuscular environment teeming with insectile percussion and thrumming sub bass, illuminated by brilliant searchlight melodies".

DECISIONS will release 'Blue Dusk' on February 21. Pre-order above and tune into EP cut 'A Tinge Of Hope' now.

Renewal+: ft. Kat Nzingha & opheliaxz ~ Radio Bonita ~ 8-8-20

Healing Frequencies, completed in March 2020, brings together in a single mix and a pseudo-therapeutic program a series of tracks composed by Qoso over the last two years, ranging from pyschædelic drone-dub miniatures escaped from the recent Morning Routine (The Trilogy Tapes, 2019) to uplifiting house micro-bangers in the vein of the Monica EP (In Paradisum, 2013), through downtempo "vibes" with sweet voices that seem to have escaped from the Mo'Wax / SourceLabs era.

When Qoso's music addresses the capacity of music to "take care of yourself", it is not to parody or denounce this pretense. Rather, he grasps it with a generosity and wonder that draws directly from the ambivalence of this therapeutic function - which resonates in the pre-chewed script of a woman whispering "I want you to take care of me" on a worn-out breakbeat, or a male voice who describes the powers of incense, with an almost disturbing hint of indifference, and against a backdrop of oceanic flanger sounds.

Healing Frequencies thus takes Qoso's music to new spaces, to the strange familiarity of a pseudo-civilization where multicolored leisure reigns. It is evocative of the landscapes of Andorra filmed by Virgil Vernier, where fountains look like holograms, of the corridors of sports halls where the house hits of the last decade resonate distorted, for flashy counters which sell supernatural perfumes.

You can llsten to Healing Frequencies to "boost your karma" or for the pleasure of seeing the spectacle of intimacy and psychobiological management recompose itself in the distorting mirror of an attractive and perverse soundtrack.

Healing Frequencies, complété en mars 2020, rassemble dans un même mix en forme de pseudo-programme thérapeutique une série de morceaux composés par Qoso sur les deux dernières années, qui vont de miniatures drone-dub pyschédéliques échappées de la confection du récent Morning Routine (The Trilogy Tapes, 2019) à des micro-bangers de house uplifiting dans la veine du maxi Monica (In Paradisum, 2013), en passant par des morceaux downtempo agrémentées de voix suaves qu’on croirait échappées de l’époque Mo’Wax / SourceLabs.

Si la musique de Qoso aborde la capacité de la musique à « se faire du bien », ce n’est pas pour la parodier ou la dénoncer. Elle s’en empare plutôt avec une générosité et un étonnement qu’elle tire directement de l’ambivalence de cette fonction thérapeutique – sensible dans le script pré-mâché d’une femme qui susurre « j’ai envie que tu t’occupes de moi » sur un breakbeat usé jusqu'à la corde, comme à une autre qui décrit, avec une nuance d’indifférence presque inquiétante sur fond de flangers océaniques, les pouvoirs de l’encens. 

Healing Frequencies tire ainsi la musique de Qoso vers de nouveaux espaces, vers l'étrange familiarité d’une pseudo-civilisation du loisir multicolore, proche des paysages de l’Andorre filmée par Virgil Vernier où les fontaines ressemblent à des hologrammes, des couloirs de salles de sport où les tubes house de la dernière décennie résonnent déformés, ou de comptoirs clinquants où seraient vendus des parfums supernaturels.

Ecoutez Healing Frequencies pour « booster votre karma », ou pour le plaisir qu’il y a à voir le monde de l’intimité-spectacle et du management psychobiologique se recomposer dans le miroir déformant d’une bande-son séduisante et perverse.
