Acid Mouth

Este álbum se despliega como un tejido sonoro que entrelaza lo espiritual con lo terrenal, invitando al oyente a un recorrido donde cada tema es una estación en un viaje contemplativo. La selección de piezas revela un equilibrio entre introspección, movimiento y pausa, articulando un relato que fluye con naturalidad pero que no teme a la fragmentación, como si el tiempo mismo se doblara en pequeñas escenas musicales.

El comienzo con **“oto no inori”** abre un espacio casi ritual. Su título, que evoca la idea de una “oración del sonido”, se traduce en una atmósfera meditativa y envolvente. Los timbres parecen flotar como mantras electrónicos, creando un paisaje en el que el oyente se sumerge lentamente. Es una introducción que prepara los sentidos, estableciendo un tono espiritual y etéreo.

En **“Residual Steps”** el foco se desplaza hacia el movimiento. Se perciben patrones rítmicos que sugieren pasos que quedan grabados en la memoria, huellas que no se desvanecen del todo. El tema combina repetición y variación, logrando un balance entre lo mecánico y lo humano, como si el avance se diera en círculos que dejan rastros.

La transición a **“Residual Transit”** intensifica esta idea de trayecto. Aquí los sonidos evocan desplazamientos continuos, un viaje en tránsito que nunca termina de llegar a destino. Las capas melódicas se cruzan como caminos superpuestos, reforzando la noción de desplazamiento físico y mental. Es una pieza que transmite movimiento, pero también cierta suspensión, como si viajáramos en un tren interminable.

**“Solitary Sequence”**, en este contexto, adquiere un carácter diferente al de su aparición en el otro álbum. Aquí se percibe como un punto de concentración: un patrón aislado que recuerda al pulso interior de la soledad. Su minimalismo aporta un contraste, un momento de recogimiento frente al dinamismo de los temas anteriores.

Con **“Static Harmony”** se abre un espacio más abstracto. La armonía parece suspendida en el aire, como si estuviera quieta y en movimiento al mismo tiempo. Es una exploración de la tensión entre estabilidad y transformación, un estado de contemplación donde la escucha se convierte en observación del detalle.

Finalmente, **“Velvet Interlude”** cierra el recorrido con suavidad y calidez. Como su nombre indica, funciona como un interludio aterciopelado que deja una sensación de caricia sonora, un epílogo que no busca un final rotundo, sino una disolución suave y elegante.

En conjunto, el álbum es una meditación sobre el viaje y la huella, sobre el tránsito y la pausa. Cada pieza ofrece un matiz distinto, pero juntas construyen un universo donde lo residual se convierte en memoria sonora, y lo estático en movimiento interior. Es una obra que invita a escuchar no solo con el oído, sino con la sensibilidad completa.

Chen Yi aims for a collective approach of art. As an isolated group of humans/numbers operating directly from a secret place in Chelmsford (UK), they developped a personnal and "bizarre" utilisation of guitars, machines, voices, distortion, giving as result an unconventional regroupment of compositions amongst a lot of lost/unreleased recordings. This is likely what got John Peel interested which leads to an inexplicable CBS contract. More couldn't be finalised, because CBS suddenly pulled out of the contract. "Due to their raw and alternative 'self-made' musical approach, they've been compared to the likes of Throbbing Gristle, Borghesia & Severed Heads or more underground names as Het Zweet, Biting Tongues..."

We are proud to present two new EPs from De Bons en Pierre, the duo of Beau Wanzer @bwanz & Maoupa Mazzocchetti @maoupa-mazzocchetti . Beau Wanzer spends the majority of his days sifting through paraffin embedded animal tissues and reading old issues of Fangoria, occasionally breaking his monotonous routine to record in various fits and bursts. As well as solo material, he is also in numerous projects including Streetwalker, Mutant Beat Dance, Civil Duty, and Corporate Park. Maoupa Mazzocchetti is the pseudonym of Florent Mazzocchetti, a French producer based in Brussels. His sonic vision is one which constantly straddles the line between wild experimentation and rhythmic compatibility, drawing influence from early concrète, 80's tape scene and Birmingham school techno. 
After working together on the ‘Crepes’ EP that we released in 2017, De Bons en Pierre reunited for a two day recording session in Brussels. The duo recorded 13 tracks that we’ve split across 2 EPs with 6 tracks on ‘EP No. 1’ and 7 tracks on ‘EP No. 2’. Beau says, “We hooked everything up and just pushed play. We didn’t really discuss much about the process….it was very ‘spur of the moment’.” The equipment set up included a Roland TR-808, TR-606, SH-101, CR-78, CR-8000, two Syncussions and effects. Each EP contains 25 minutes of dance floor perversions that tackle an array of rhythmic forms. Sludgy synths, serrated percussion and viscous distortion goops over leviathan rhythms. All songs are mastered by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. ‘EP No. 1’ is housed in a sewage green jacket featuring a monster mask duo and spiky motifs designed by Florent Mazzocchetti, and ‘EP No. 2’ is radioactive orange with a different pair of monster masks.

taken from Simon J Karis 'Piovve' NM039

Simon J Karis returns to Nice Music with Piovve, his first release for the label since 2017’s Madrugada. Following from recent releases for Altered States and Vienna Press, Piovve offers up six tracks demonstrating the development and deepening of Karis’ obliquely emotive approach to electronic murk. Floating on clouds of tape hiss in smeared VHS fidelity, Karis explores a range of formal approaches, from the burbling monophonic synth lines and spoken text of opener ‘Infinite July’ to the four-on-the-floor kickdrum and wistful music-box melodies of half-remembered rave closer ‘Shale Pardon’. In between we’re treated to the drumless motorik propulsion of ‘To Think of You’, which calls to mind Moebius and Beerbohm’s Double Cut in its woozy rhythmic insistence before the mood is hijacked by a distorted devotional vocal sample that abruptly reroutes proceedings from the morose to the ecstatic. The opposite path is travelled in ‘On Ardour’ where jittering synth pads toy with euphoria before descending into pensive gloom. Across these six miniatures – each of which concludes with an abrupt cut to silence – Karis mines a vein where sonic experimentation and emotional reflection meet, crafting something uneasy but ultimately celebratory. -Francis Plagne
