ASTRID SONNE – GREAT DOUBT

Posted on 2024-04-15

Great Doubt is the third full length LP by Danish composer Astrid Sonne. Throughout her acclaimed discography, Astrid Sonne has carefully crafted different moods through electronic and acoustic instrumental endeavours. On Great Doubt, this skill is refined, now with the distinct addition of the composer’s vocal in front. The tone of each track is unmistakably Sonne’s, structured around contrasts through an impeccable sense of timing. Lyrics on the album are sparse, merely highlighting different scenes or emotional states of being, leaving the music to fill in the blanks. Yet they also form a pattern of ambiguity, consolidated through the album title, searching for answers through looking at how and what you are asking, questions for the world, questions of love.

CONTAINER – ERASER

Posted on 2024-04-15

Container returns to the Alter label for his latest LP entitled Yacker. Versed equally in the corrosive sonics of Rhode Island’s long treasured noise and punk scene and the propulsive rhythms of modern rave, Container once again situates his brand of techno somewhere between the harsh shrill of a basement show and the reverberant gleam of the club. Both searing pain and absurdist detached humour can be found within these harsh grooves.

FABIANA PALLADINO – IN THE FIRE

Posted on 2024-04-08

Having been an in demand songwriter and producer since 2011, Fabiana Palladino has the poise of a vanguard artist on her selftitled debut. Sleek, modernist synthpop balladry meets slick funk and R&B shuffles and silky feather soft harmonies, tapping into the Paul Institute oeuvre with a feature from Jai himself on the dazzling synths and sweet, slow limbering drum machines of ‘I Care’. Fresh air bursts in between syrupy guitar licks on ‘Can You Look In The Mirror?’, while expertly crafted layers fill the life affirming new wave grooves of ‘Shoulda’, complete with catchy riffs, cowbell hits, and insatiable pop earworms.
