HAAI – PURPLE JELLY DISC

Posted on 2022-05-09

The cascading hollowness of Japanese producer Mars89’s latest album ‘Visions’ for Bedouin Records evokes a hypnotising atmosphere that takes the listener on a cinematic journey through what is best described as a post-apocalyptic daydream. In its entirety, this album is a political act against capitalism and urban infrastructure as a whole, paying homage to those who endure the various ways in which capitalists and authoritarian governments attempt to infiltrate and control their lives, and all that surrounds them.

PIGBABY – PALINDROMES

Posted on 2022-05-09

Listening to the dissonant, hallucinogenic world of pigbaby feels like sinking deeper into the artist’s subconscious. His introspective bedroom folk draws together the most surreal of reference points – from from Sinead O’Connor playing the Virgin Mary in Irish film “The Butcher Boy”, to the online reality game Second Life, to random YouTube videos of people fighting – to imply a doomscrolling, daydreaming mind. Pieced together on a small keyboard during a period of intense isolation, pigbaby has formed a picture of digital chaos, longing, and loneliness on his debut EP Palindromes.

MODERAT – EASY PREY

Posted on 2022-05-02

Though depicting a cold world, narrated by the ghostly lamentations of digital voices, MORE D4TA is filled with warmth and life. Not only in its brief but relieving flourishes of humanity and natural soundscapes but in the way its synths move, reconfigure themselves, and adapt to their environment. Moderat display their unique ability to strike balance between the mathematical and instinctual hemispheres of music by creating rhythmically propelling tunes from robotic processes, coaxing out every little bit of deeply affecting emotion from all instruments and hardware they get their hands on.
