In 2016, we lost artist and musician Geneviève Castrée to pancreatic cancer. Though only 35-years-old at the time, the wildly-talented creator left behind a wealth of works in her wake.

KEXP's Janice Headley talks to Mount Eerie, Black Belt Eagle Scout, Karl Blau, and more artists featured on 'Ô: A Tribute Album to Ô Paon and Geneviève Castrée,' released earlier this year on vinyl.

Davey Harms - The Illegal Horns

GROWING - Zebulon 1/15/23 (excerpt)

Curse All Kings - Domestication

Gina is about the dread of leaving your room in an uncomfortable living situation. Planning trips to the kitchen/bathroom around roommate schedules to avoid interaction. Being stuck in bed and incredibly bored.

Spring Breeding - Gina Sleeps All Day

"Madam has got no soul left to sell, so she takes the keys from the Devil himself to begin her reign in hell."

KIM - Madam

A gathering of the elements, a gathering of spirits, a glimpse into the gathered dark. A faint sense of foreboding as something begins to stir in the uneasy calm. Sounds captured in the purgatoried hours when night disperses into the first flickers of dawn.

I knew George and Yvonne back in my student days in the early days of Zum. The enthusiasm, spirit, & openness behind Zum played a big part in those early days in galvanizing so many disparate people and musical worlds and also helped develop my own early awareness of a music community both around me and interconnected to a music scene at large in those days before I was making any music of my own in any public way. It’s a joy & pleasure for me personally to have had some of my own music released on the label so many years later and to be able to contribute to this compilation celebrating the 25th anniversary of Zum Audio.

Somnambulists - Gathering

"Big Black Cloak's" danceable melody is juxtaposed to its lyrics, illuminating the anxiety that arises from constant fear and anticipation of one's untimely death.

Baus - Big Black Cloak

Nihar has been a beloved figure in the Bay Area Music Scene for over a decade. He was a founder & DJ at the now legendary Surface Tension events which helped to solidify cold wave & dark industrial techno as a defining sound in San Francisco club culture. Left Hand Path, the label he started with Chris Zaldua in 2015 have released some of the most interesting & diverse projects to come out of the city, from the likes of Cube, C.L.A.W.S., Nackt, Russell E.L. Butler & Forests. 
Squirrels On Film is delighted & honored to unleash this collection of angular cybergoth soundscapes that showcase Nihar's acuity as an artist. Five-dimensional geometric rhythms & nocturnal panoramas evoking brutalist structures & primeval geology present an alternative reality for industrial techno. This collection has been mastered by San Francisco industrial O.G. Mark Pistal & presented with original art by Squirrel On Film resident artist Bert Bergen.

Velvet Sheep with Nick Hutchings | #63 020923

vivimos una vida
que nos rasmilla las rodillas
y caemos, y caemos
esperando que sonría
y caemos, y caemos
esperando que sonría

trato de convencerme 
y decirme
las distancias solo existen en tu mente

y no es cierto
porque conozco tu beso en mi frente
y no es cierto
porque te veo ahí, parada el corazón menos inerte

mis ojos cuidan de ti, de ti, de ti

mis ojos cuidan de ti, de ti, de ti
mi deseo
como deseo que estes aquí, aquí

mi deseo es que estes aquí

From the second album by SHIMMER, one of the most exciting bands playing in Brooklyn right now, and something of a super-group. With 2 members of Palberta, Simon Hanes of Tredici Bacci and ex- of Guerilla Toss, and Paco Cathcart aka The Cradle, one might expect SHIMMER's sound to be a bit of a hodge podge, but the opposite is actually true. SHIMMER has a laser-focused sound and vision, frantic and noisy, but equally precise and complex.

To be released by Decoherence on Nov.8, 2019
