City & i.o, 'Descendant Cross (with x/o)' (2021). Courtesy Éditions Appærent.

City & i.o are immensely proud to present Chaos is God Neighbour, the full-length follow-up to their 2019 record Spirit Volume. This new release finds the musicians digging into murkier depths than Spirit Volume, and features extensive contributions from collaborators Dis Fig, aka Felicia Chen, x/o, aka Veron Xio, and vvilms, aka Aaron Wharton.

Composed at a frenetic pace over several weeks in mid-2020, the claustrophobia is palpable. As the album progresses the tracks get both shorter and progressively more brutal, interrupted by brief moments of respite. Throat-shredding harsh vocals provide a high watermark in intensity, while the expansive performances of Dis Fig and x/o serve as vantage points over the morass, giving the listener something both beautiful and human to grasp. Careening from rich synth work, to distorted guitars in alternate tunings; from i.o’s virtuosic and unhinged drumming to slabs of harsh ambient noise, this is a genuinely ambitious and rewarding album.

The front and back cover artwork is courtesy of legendary Games Workshop illustrator John Blanche.

Chaos Is God Neighbour

City & i.o - Bleak Chain (feat. x/o)

Available on all platforms:
https://ampl.ink/redalert

Red Alert is the new single and music video from Vietnamese Canadian electronic producer, filmmaker, and visual artist x/o, a life-affirming tale of pattern discovery, symbolism and intuition. 

The accompanying video, an ode to the Hong Kong neon soaked romances of director Wong Kar Wai, sees x/o as the protagonist in an unfolding narrative of blurred symbolism and sublime chaos. Through saturated neon cityscape we descend into a fictionalised inner realm; a journey of self-discovery, duality and catharsis.

Melancholic vocals collide with a flurry of distorted drum breaks, sirens and synth stabs, a blur of sonic texture reflecting in shards of reverb soaked vocals. A liminal poem about listening to one’s inner voice & protection from harm.

The birds and the trees wailed  
Dancing together in a lost new world  
Three rows of teeth and six eyes
A wild illusion 
Guarding faith

小鸟悲泣 树木呜咽
大家一起在失落的新世界起舞
三排牙齿 六只眼睛
荒唐的幻想
将信仰守护
