The Body on I Shall Die Here / Earth Triumphant

"The execution of I Shall Die Here is so full-blooded, so committed to forcing your head underwater to the point of blackout, that it’s hard not to view this as a singular piece” Nick Neyland on The Body’s I Shall Die Here, expanded with Earth Triumphant and released on June 30, 2023.

Pierre Rousseau on Mémoire De Forme

“Musically, I am increasingly moved by the coexistence of soft and hard sound, low-fidelity and high-fidelity, compressed and uncompressed data; perhaps echoing a quest for balance, or an acceptance of the beauty of this tension, which seems inherent to life.” Pierre Rousseau on Mémoire De Forme, released June 30, 2203.

Dylan Moon on Song & Dance

“The galaxy brain idea behind these songs was to overlay the singer-songwriter form over breakbeats. It was fun figuring out all the production tropes of chopping a break. By putting them to songs, they’ve hopefully escaped any sub-genre confines.” Dylan Moon on Song & Dance, the fantastic, four song EP released June 16, 2023.

Rachika Nayar on fragments

"Ever since I was a kid, improvising guitar loops in my bedroom has been my deepest source of self-exploration and restoration. It’s a means to cleanse my space, to make a psychological architecture in my home where I can access my heart and cultivate some kind of internal movement in times of stasis.” Rachika Nayar on fragments, released as an expanded vinyl edition April 7, 2023.

M. Sage on Paradise Crick

"For years I tried to have a serious 'compositional practice' that was built on very intentional and conceptual idioms. I learned that this kind of creating was very unfulfilling for me, and so, I pivoted into what I call 'play, most of all.' Or just 'play music.’ I don’t try to write in the sense that I know what I am doing, I try to not think too much about what I am doing at all… I just play.” M. Sage on the process / play behind Paradise Crick, released May 26, 2023.
