xquisite releases is proud to present ‘Summer in Sexilia’ the new album by Cecilia @babiaudi

On the winding roads of escape, running away from the burning city's suffocation, in search of air, Cecilia drowns in the thick, elemental romance of Sexilia island.

The landscape oozes and recalls the radical desire of adolescent souls, a chaste and mystical resistance which flutters and strolls above through ditches, railroad edges, highway exits, stinking alleys owned by starving cats.

Sparse and sculptural breaths, the songs are drunk with melancholic infatuation.

“Summer in Sexilia” is a sensory encounter with the great despair in which the lover's courage takes shape once again, sublime, hanging on the memory of the shining stars.

In the hallucinated Summer of Sexilia, the ground trembles, the hands get dirty and the world craves for real tenderness and silent ecstasy.

Xquisite Releases present ‘hypocrite 21’ the new release by London based artist great area

through five tracks great area weaves a diary of intimacy, as much with the grey beauty of the city as with any human, time
spent travelling on buses and walking pavements, great area seems to offer these songs as companions.

to scream is a right of spring
pulsating and misshapen course
pulled by the moon
into the shape of a steaming cry
corroding sanity like we crave
to scream is a right of spring

xquisite releases is proud to present the new release by Sokora Violetov, ‘Q.’ @sobranie_kiss

through two sides Violetov places the listner into a shifting hallucination, sounds flourish and grow, ever more intricate, blooming and dying, only to become an uncompromising sonic brutality: distorting the klezmer tradition it into an unholy/uncertain terrain that offers only riddles while it holds your gaze.

Lee recounts an inner world in the liminal of distress and bliss.
Tales of obsession, rituals, and altered states. 

With features from Cold, Oxhy, and Bladee, voices are injected into the landscape, alternating between comforting support and manic lamentations. 

Along with distorted cellos from HforSpirit and additional production by Whitearmor, this journey is punctuated by those passing through it.

All songs produced and mixed by Felix Lee. 
Co-production on 'Wastelands' by Cold, on 'Perfume' by Oxhy and on 'Citadel' by Whitearmor and Oxhy.
Mastered by Beau Thomas at Ten Eight Seven, London.

the first single from ‘Birds & I’ a forthcoming album on xquisite releases

Mori Mori - Shadow Rain

@m0rimori

Through 11 tracks the listener is ushered through a liquid melting scene, beginning in collective hope and beauty that feels liquid and infectious, lusciously filled with synthetic, bliss filled harmonies.

that safety seems to come apart though as the musician takes us on a trip that inverts our surroundings at the midway mark, exposing the darkness and solitude our hope could only mask in its closing tracks, echoing the pain of observing this world in turmoil.

this tale of innocence lost is punctuated with a feature from thrilliam angels, complementing the artist’s ethereal voice with production from a secret other place.

an ep about giving in

oxhy - reprise

oxhy - if only you knew (feat. ECCO2K)

oxhy - and the just

5 tracks torn from a stained industrial fabric , this new offering is an unrelenting foray into abjection and the pleasure it can evoke.

Like the provocations of a previous age grew sentient and withdrew into introspection ‘blank cheque’ reeks of forgotten transgressions, echoing the promise of some lost liberation.

This time around the chords are even colder, the guitars are harsher and the lyrics offer even less solace from the world’s brutalities.

Economic unlivability permeate “blank cheque’s” lyrics, the mundane grind of city life is put on display but this voice behind the noise cant help but suggest a kind of romance, on tracks like ‘coat check’ the way it playfully coaxes you into its dance is palpable.

There is still a sick pleasure in the sound, stop gap has managed to twist grim brutality into a work that infects the mind and entices you towards obsession.
