GOAT + HUMAN LANGUAGE – JÖRMUGANDR

To celebrate the one-year anniversary of their monumental release, the band handed over all the original stems to their good friend, the enigmatic producer ‘human language’, and gave him complete freedom to remix the album however he saw fit.

But let’s be clear right from the outset, this is no ordinary remix album – ‘human language’ was invited to inhabit inside of Goat’s sonic temple. With a copy of J Dilla’s Donuts in one hand he was encouraged to burn new incense into their music – reshaping the 8 tracks from the inside out.

HALIMA – ELEVEN ELEVEN

Halima’s debut album SWEET TOOTH is a bold declaration of power from an undeniable talent. Seductive, restless, and deeply assured, the record unspools like a night in motion. In the afterglow of her 2024 EP on drink sum wtr, praised by Clash Magazine, The Fader, BBC Radio, and others, the Brooklyn-based, UK/Nigerian musician solidifies her sound and expands it tenfold. If EXU was a spark, SWEET TOOTH is the full burn. Not so much genre-less as “genre-full”; the album spans a bright, lush world where club bangers meet deep ballads in a striking, fully-formed hybrid of honeyed Afro-pop and scorched R&B.

M. SAGE – TENDER / WADING

Tender / Wading finds Matthew Sage, aka M. Sage, in the foothills and pastures of Colorado, writing, recording, and returning to a patch of his homeland and identity, one act of sympathetic care informing the next. Constructed primarily on piano and clarinet, and then embellished with guitar, modular synthesizer, percussion, and field recordings captured around the perimeter of his home, the album is a sweeping, serene vision of vitality, radical softness, and the reassuring sense of coming home, even if home has changed.
