Listening to the Italian composer and modular synth virtuoso has felt like traveling at light-speed and slow-motion all at once since 2017’s breakthrough double-album Patterns Of Consciousness. 2019’s acclaimed Ecstatic Computation pushed even further with the lead single “Fantas”, where a haunting melody hurtling towards its supernova climax felt like witnessing the life and death of a burning star. Far beyond any new age trope or modern synth trend, her music stands alone in its ecstatic intensity and cataclysmic emotional impact. Marking the debut album on her new label light-years, Barbieri now delivers her most profound work yet — a journey through inner-space as vast as a universe and as intimate as a heartbeat.

Whereas previous releases were constructed on lengthy tours, capturing only snapshots of continually evolving works, Spirit Exit represents the producer’s first album fully written and recorded in her home studio amidst Milan’s two-month pandemic lockdown in 2020. It was during this extended isolation she found inspiration\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efrom female philosophers, mystics and poets spread across time, but united in their strength at cultivating vast internal worlds. St. Teresa D’Avila’s foundational 16th century mystical text The Interior Castle, philosopher Rosi Braidotti’s posthuman theories and the metaphysical poetry of Emily Dickinson act as thematic anchors throughout Spirit Exit, imbuing a life and death gravity into the composer’s most perception-altering music to date.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMore than any release before it, Spirit Exit crystallizes Barbieri’s densely layered, blindingly bright synth arrangements while introducing stunning new elements that feel as if they’ve always belonged. Strings and guitar flawlessly thread into the composer’s web of modular patches, while her revelatory singing voice often cuts right through them. Melodies remain Barbieri’s great passion and obsession — she thinks of them as knots she’s trying to untangle, existential metaphors formed through tensely spiraling arpeggios — and on Spirit Exit they grow as large as planets before cracking into atoms. Parts of one song can haunt another. The synth progression unraveling through “Knot Of Spirit” is reborn on “Broken Melody”, an explosive peak with vocals that flash like a lightning storm. The sweeping “At Your Gamut” perfects the producer’s dramatic, slow-burning openers, but in her first ever use of sampling, it later gets crushed, accelerated and unrecognizably transformed into the ghostly hook surging through “Terminal Clock” — an otherworldly sound rushing across what feels like the artist’s first track for a dancefloor.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCaterina Barbieri’s music has always transported listeners, its perpetual movement achieved through complexities that needn’t be solved, but simply felt. Spirit Exit articulates that endless ascension — destination unknown, resolution always just out of reach — with a newfound humanity. It’s the result of a one-of-a-kind artist deeply reflecting on what music means to them, only to return with an even greater understanding of what it can be. As the album closes on “The Landscape Listens” — a song that approaches death with all the gentle grace of Brian Eno’s “An Ending (Ascent)” — it brings to mind the full line of Emily Dickinson’s poem “There’s a certain slant of light”. “When it comes — the landscape listens \/ Shadows — hold their breath.” Spirit Exit is a special kind of seance, an album so otherworldly and inexplicably moving it leaves even its ghosts in a stunned silence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Light Years","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43920488202504,"sku":"","price":23.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/4581\/9656\/products\/a0860446015_10.jpg?v=1672936863"},{"product_id":"pharmakon-abandon-black-white-and-orange-stardust-vinyl-edition","title":"Pharmakon - Abandon (Black, White and Orange Stardust Vinyl Edition)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMargaret Chardiet was born and raised in New York City.

The pair are iconoclastic musicians who have carved singular paths for decades, plying their trades in experimental, metal and rock and pursuing countless collaborations in many disciplines. Though Turner may be best-known for his work in the bands Isis and SUMAC, he’s also known as an artist, graphic designer and label head. Mueller’s collaborations run similarly far and wide: with Justin Vernon in Volcano Choir, with Pele, Collections of Colonies of Bees and Mind Over Mirrors, not to mention leadership of the acclaimed project Death Blues, and the patient solo percussion explorations -- like last year’s Family Secret, also released on American Dreams -- that have become his hallmark as of late.

I woke up wanting to recreate that, and somehow I think we did.” Recreating it started at Turner’s House of Low Culture studio, reprising their past effort’s collaborations with recording engineer Matt Bayles (Keiji Haino + SUMAC, Mono) and mixing\/mastering engineer James Plotkin (Merzbow, Jack Rose). “Once we were in the room recording,” says Mueller, “it all felt much more real, for better or worse.

It’s illustrative of how quickly their approaches turn on a dime, ping-ponging between registers, seeming to lead the other astray. Mueller, ever demure, says, “I felt a collaboration in this way would reveal something interesting beyond setting up a standard drum kit and jamming.” No doubt. Over its towering ten-minute runtime, “An Underestimated Climb” descends into a choral tailspin: at one point, Mueller’s clattering bass drum sounds like a military drumbeat to truancy; just as suddenly, he emphasizes spare, high, metallic pitches, toggling between the two. Meanwhile, Turner’s guitars evoke swarms of bees. As “Lokum” progresses, Mueller’s insistent rattling, like scraping dregs of ice cream from a glass dish, yields to Turner’s sea of feedback, building to a chord in the last few seconds. A lone chordal squirm acts as a last gasp. When the music does resolve, it feints, parries, steps in quicksand, removes itself by force. When, on closing track “Hatched,” Mueller builds percussion in a marching gallop that by now seems trademark, Turner’s guitars squirm, swirl, rattle: flies in the ear of Mueller’s buffalo. Only in the last minute does Turner’s playing suggest a parallel to Mueller’s, by which time each musician has built such consistent sonic architecture that the song’s disintegration, in the last minute, comes at great surprise.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"American Dreams Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44183547347208,"sku":"","price":22.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/4581\/9656\/products\/a2755126262_10.jpg?v=1676725492"},{"product_id":"attila-csihar-void-ov-voices-baalbek-deluxe-gatefold-on-black-vinyl-with-16-page-12x12-booklet","title":"Attila Csihar - Void Ov Voices : Baalbek (Deluxe Gatefold on Black Vinyl with 16 Page 12\"x12\" Booklet)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e This is the first ever solo album from the legendary cult singer Attila Csihar, known for his work in Mayhem, SUNN O))), Plasma Pool and Tormentor. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFor this album Attila travelled to the Monolith of Baalbek archaeological site in Lebanon and conducted two sessions.

Side Two features three superb violin  tudes, each distinguished by Moss’ distinctively amplified violin timbres and her unique ear for the tropes of various folk traditions, interspersed with the plaintive but stately vocal song “Enduring Oceans”, and closing with “Opened Ending”, her mesmerizing contribution to Constellation’s Corona Borealis Longform Singles Series from 2020, previously released only as a digital track and short film by indie legend Jem Cohen (Fugazi’s Instrument documentary, Benjamin Smoke, Museum Hours).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003eGalaxy Heart is cosmic music of dark matter and interstellar dust, of gravitational waves and celestial grit that connect messy terrestrial life—with its human, animal, natural suffering and beauty—to chaotic and unruly universal forces.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDeluxe 180gram vinyl edition pressed at Optimal (Germany) in jacket and artworked inner printed with UV matte varnished inks.

Her minimalist and compositional finesse combine with densely layered atmospheric instrumentation and dreamlike vocals to create music rich with both delicacy and intensity. The Sunday Times hailed her early solo recordings as “a revelation.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter the release of two critically acclaimed EPs, Woods spent 2017 writing and recording songs on an eight-track in an abandoned flat she was living in at the time. Layering piano, synth, tape machine, field recordings, vocals, drone, unadorned beats, and old string instruments, these songs culminate in her debut solo LP Colt. Straddling the acoustic and electronic worlds, Colt is an intensely personal journey through grief, abandonment, and mutating love. Woods navigates this journey with a lyrical potency that cuts through stark piano, sensuous synth work, and textural acoustics. Somewhere between Marissa Nadler, Grouper and Julee Cruise, these songs evoke both the anguish of their content and the ecstasy of their craft.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe power at the heart of Colt is a siren’s song, at once mysterious, dark and beautiful, pulling you in. Opening song “Inhaler” is a conceptual cry for oxygen, illustrating the desolation felt in the absence of a lost lover, but the song’s velvet\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efluidity feels like a long, enveloping exhale. “Jesus Said” is an entrancing expression of abandonment and catharsis, seeking absolution where none can be found. Percussion is sparse and intentional throughout the record, and “Jesus Said” is one of few songs with prominent beats. When the beat finally breaks the tension of the longing introduction, it creates an intoxicating kaleidoscope of rhythm and improvised piano. Written and recorded at home in Dublin, Colt was mixed by and co-produced with James Kelly (WIFE, Altar of Plagues) in Berlin in the winter of 2017. The dynamics of the production serve to temper layers of instruments, giving the compositions breathing room to match their pacing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrowing up in an artistic household on Dublin’s Northside, Woods studied film and literature, dropping in and out of fine art school. In 2014, she returned to music to record in whatever free space was available in and around the city. A singular vision and tenacious creativity has seen Woods cross multi-disciplinary thresholds, exploring visual and performance art alike. In 2017, she was chosen as Dublin Fringe Festival's “Wild Card” artist after writing a theatre piece from sound design. Whilst earlier in the year she was asked to compose original scores for horror film as part of the Irish Film Institute's season celebrating the cinema of the Weimar Republic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Colt was created as a way to process and make sense of the everyday,” Woods imparts. “As a means to speak with inner voices, explore aloneness, and understand the complexities of desire. As a vehicle for imaginative flight, as a quest for resilience and connectivity to the outside world, as a medium through which to journey into the present, to temper the mind and inhabit the body.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003ca\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sacred Bones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44287372919048,"sku":"","price":23.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/4581\/9656\/products\/a2679926846_10.jpg?v=1678370248"},{"product_id":"hilary-woods-birthmarks-limited-edition-on-dark-red-vinyl","title":"Hilary Woods - Birthmarks (Limited Edition on Dark Red Vinyl)","description":"\u003cspan\u003eHilary Woods’ Birthmarks has been a labor of intensity and intuition, written over the course of two years.

The new collaboration between Marissa Nadler and Stephen Brodsky (Cave In, Mutoid Man), is a sprawling and expansive exercise in contrasts. It is the sound of the war between the brutal and the ethereal, the dark and the light, the past and the present, and the real and imagined. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrodsky met Nadler for the first time in 2014 at Brooklyn’s Saint Vitus Bar when he came to see her play on her July tour, and they quickly became friends. Both of them had been wanting to explore songwriting that didn’t fit into their existing projects, and they soon became energized by the prospect of working together. One of the first ideas they discussed was a horror movie soundtrack, and while Droneflower isn’t that, it is a richly cinematic album. It’s easy to imagine much of the record set to images, though it wasn’t composed that way.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe first song that came together was “Dead West,” based around a beautiful acoustic guitar piece Brodsky wrote while living on Spy Pond, just outside of Nadler’s home base in Boston. By the time they started working on the song earnest, Brodsky had moved to Brooklyn. Nadler added lyrics and vocal melodies remotely, and even from a distance it was obvious there was real kismet in the collaboration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll the songs on Droneflower were recorded in home studios\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e, and they throb with the frisson of that intimate environment. For much of the recording process, Brodsky would stop by the ramshackle studio that Nadler set up in Boston whenever he was in town visiting family. Songs like “For the Sun” were written on the spot there, lyrics and all. The lush ambient pieces “Space Ghost I” and “Space Ghost II” began as Brodsky piano compositions and were later fleshed out by additional instrumentation and Nadler’s inimitable vocals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNadler and Brodsky also recorded two cover songs for the album — the epic Guns n’ Roses power ballad “Estranged” and Morphine’s beguiling “In Spite of Me.” Since childhood, Nadler had been transfixed by the “Estranged” video where Axl Rose swam with dolphins, and she and Brodsky breathe new life into the song here. Their take on “In Spite of Me” is invigorated by a guest appearance from Morphine saxophonist Dana Colley, who ironically didn’t play on the original recording but is indispensable on Nadler and Brodsky’s version.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Sacred Bones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44291864690952,"sku":"","price":26.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/4581\/9656\/products\/a0575450462_10.jpg?v=1678459281"},{"product_id":"follakzoid-i-double-black-vinyl","title":"Föllakzoid - I (Double Black Vinyl)","description":"\u003cspan\u003eThe long-awaited fourth full-length by Föllakzoid isn’t merely a recalibration for the band.

The resulting debut album, A Wave From A Shore, exhibits both artists’ sonic identities binding into a new entity distinct from either’s solitary palettes. The remote nature of this collaboration is notable: only audio downloads and periodic text messages were exchanged over the record’s 4-month development. While the record breathes with a sense of yearning easily identified with life in their respective cities, it also conveys a unique resonance between these artist’s distinct musical approaches.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA visual artist whose work includes album covers for Thrice and Deftones in addition to video bumps for Adult Swim, Christopher Royal King has been quietly and steadily releasing deeply exploratory, cassette-baked vignettes as Symbol for the last decade amid his migration from central Texas to Los Angeles. King spent his teenage years cutting his teeth on heavy metal and punk before gravitating, quickly and perhaps unexpectedly, toward experimental\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ecomposers like Philip Glass and Terry Riley. This unlikely seesaw of influences led directly to King forming the post-rock pillar This Will Destroy You. Similar to his former band’s output, King’s so meanderings impart a mood of buoyancy and contemplation while hinting at darker, more shadowy hues beneath the glimmer, making his music stand apart from the glut of New Age droners and modular-synth influencers who opiate the modern music landscape for better or worse. Where the genre at large is sometimes guilty of being the spiritual equivalent of a topical balm, King’s aesthetic is more like a rigorous therapy session that is as healing as it is confronting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHimself an expert in the interplay of levity and gravity, Christopher Tignor first crossed paths with King in the mid 2000s, lending string arrangements to This Will Destroy You releases, and sometimes touring as a live member of the group. Before, during, and since those collaborations, Tignor has mounted an impressive discography under his own name and with his groups Slow Six, and Wires Under Tension, all while completing Princeton’s PhD program for music composition, and NYU’s Masters of computer science program. He put the full power of his dual studies to use, arriving at the illusionist-like meld of sound design and physical performance that his current-day solo efforts portray. Explaining his recording and performing methods (which are one and the same) Tignor explains, “I banned backing tracks, click tracks, and even live looping - anything that would enforce a strict grid. All sounds originate from me kicking a drum, playing the violin, or various natural percussion sources. I built software that lets me do all this. This offers an unprecedented amount of control over this music’s elastic sense of time.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKing’s own music follows parallel rivulets of happenstance, with an array of analog gadgets in perpetual dialogue as he omnipotently guides and documents the chatter. Tignor’s lucid string work frames King’s impressionism, sharpening the focus while being softened by the textural overgrowth. “Atria” begins with a breathing vocal synth that forms the piece’s spinal column, while strings flesh out around it layer by layer, the discernment of each becoming less and less possible over time. “Dynasty” drifts down from the rafters on tape-recorded angel song, like a tranquil passage of some late night public access church service stumbled upon while channel-surfing during a bout of insomnia. Tignor’s strings arrive politely at the edges, slowly bleeding into the center until every corner is occupied by orchestral ecstasy. Appropriately, A Wave From A Shore’s title track puts-forward the most soaring, elegiac moment of the album. Violin trills converse with one another in mourning, patiently rolling across the aural tide for the track’s first few minutes. By its final quarter a bass line appears, adding weight to an already heavy composition while enshrouding its electronic elements in a Terrence Malick-esque mix of grandeur and tragedy. But it’s the album’s closer “Impossible Color” that seems to most accurately depict the Disassembler creative dynamic, and hint at what the partnership might become. The track plays like a mini-album unto itself, exploring several moods, paces, and timbres throughout its nearly nine minute runtime. King’s humanized synthesis again gives a springboard to complexifying instrumentation from Tignor, but this time the violin commences in a brushing, urgent fashion, and King’s backdrop disappears soon after. Fluttering harmonies multiply, falling in and out of cohesion as polyrhythms take shape. After an extended passage, the tone shifts from jubilant, and almost regal, to fascinated, bewildered, and awe-struck. King’s flourishes return as a persistently chiming electric gamelan that locks to Tignor’s violin to forge a triumphant final moment for the duo’s flagship album.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKing and Tignor respectively embody abstraction and definition, intuition and lucidity, working in complete symbiosis to mutually enliven one another as artists. On A Wave From A Shore, they do their part to rescue ambient music from being vapid anaesthesia, offering instead a profound, often ravaging emotional experience for listeners who wish to be moved and not just lulled. Where the events of the past few years have understandably increased the demand for escapist art and entertainment, Disassembler proposes what might be a healthier alternative, inviting listeners to face emotions head on, and thereby rediscover the inherent richness of being alive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Western Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44336218243336,"sku":"","price":16.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/4581\/9656\/products\/a4106235984_10.jpg?v=1679486914"},{"product_id":"lee-ranaldo-raul-refree-names-of-north-end-woman-black-vinyl-poster","title":"Lee Ranaldo \u0026 Raül Refree - Names of North End Woman (Black Vinyl + Poster)","description":"\u003cp\u003eRanaldo and Refree worked together Ranaldo’s last solo album,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eElectric Trim\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(Mute, 2017), and soon after the pair returned to the studio to record the follow up they realised that\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eNames of North End Women\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewould become what Ranaldo describes as\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e“the beginning of a new partnership, a new configuration’”.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor one of the greatest guitarists, ranked by both Rolling Stone and Spin, of his generation (Ranaldo co-founded Sonic Youth in 1981) and an artist reinventing traditional flamenco guitar (Refree’s album with Rosalía continues to grow internationally), this is an album that features tracks with little or no guitar.

The limited-edition LP sequences selections from her two rarities collections, *Collected Pieces I* (2017) and *Collected Pieces II* (2020), bringing archive highlights and fan favorites to vinyl and CD for the first time. Lattimore has described the process of arranging these releases as akin to “opening a box filled with memories,” and here that box continues to populate, accessible for both the artist and fans. Evocative material separated by years, framed as a portrait of an instrumental storyteller who rarely pauses, recording and often sharing music as soon as it strikes her. Seemingly in constant forward motion for the last five years since her Ghostly debut, Lattimore glances back for a breath, inviting new chances to live in these fleeting moments and emotions; all the beauty, sorrow, sunshine, and darkness housed within.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA familiar harp sequence opens the set, making its first vinyl appearance is “Wawa By The Ocean,” Lattimore’s ode to her favorite convenience store, Wawa #700 in Ship Bottom, New Jersey\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e. “Twelve summers of solo trips to Ship Bottom and it hasn't really changed. I'll always visit it in my dreams,” Lattimore said upon its initial release, and surely that beachside landmark still appears each time this delightful pattern unfolds, hoagies and all. Next is a newer single, “We Wave From Our Boats,” which she improvised after walking her neighborhood during the early days of lockdown in 2020, and shared on her Bandcamp. “I would just wave at neighbors I didn't know in a gesture of solidarity and it reminded me of how you’re compelled to wave at people on the other boat when you’re on a boat yourself, or on a bridge or something. The pull to wave feels very innate and natural.” The heart of the track is a somber loop, over top which Lattimore’s synth notes ruminate, each a gentle shimmer of optimism in the most anxious and absurd of days.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlso recorded in 2020, “What The Living Do” is inspired by Marie Howe’s poem of the same name, which reflects on loss through an appreciation for the mundane messiness of being human. The echoed, slow-marching track has a distant feel to it, as if the listener is outside of it, watching life play out as a film. “Princess Nicotine (1909)” scores actual footage, a dream sequence Lattimore imagined for J. Stuart Blackton’s surreal silent film *(link:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca rel=\"nofollow ugc\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_UvG5ItVzxc\u0026amp;feature=youtu.be\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\"\u003ewww.youtube.com\/watch?v=_UvG5ItVzxc\u0026amp;feature=youtu.be\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003etext: Princess Nicotine; or, the Smoke Fairy)*. She adopted the same approach for “Polly of the Circus,” explaining it was the name of one of the old silent films discovered in permafrost in the Yukon [featured in the documentary *Dawson City: Frozen Time*], “the only copy that survived and it kind of warped in the aging process.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Mary, You Were Wrong” mirrors an author’s bout with a broken heart. “It’s about how you have to keep on going even if you make some mistakes,” she says. The bittersweet refrain cycles throughout, a little brighter every time, slowly, like the way time tends to heal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA trove of pieces are collected here, most recorded in the moment, just Lattimore and her Lyon and Healy Concert Grand Harp, contact mics, and pedals. There’s the one about the late Twin Peaks actress Margaret Lanterman (“We Just Found Out She Died”), the American astronaut’s homecoming (“For Scott Kelly, Returned To Earth”), the joke about the cannibal’s wife (“The Warm Shoulder”), the Charlie Chaplin-like character who lost their glasses (“Be My Four Eyes”), and the high school kids driving their shiny cars in a parking lot (“Your Glossy Camry”). Like her most affecting work, these songs showcase Lattimore’s gifts as an observer, able to shape her craft around emotional frequencies and scenes. Her power as a musician is rooted in how she sees the world: in vivid detail, profoundly empathic, with deep gratitude for nature and nuance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Ghostly International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44339811975432,"sku":"","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/4581\/9656\/products\/a1426076154_10.jpg?v=1679576550"},{"product_id":"merzbow-hexa-achromatic-black-vinyl","title":"Merzbow + Hexa - Achromatic (Black Vinyl)","description":"\u003cspan\u003eThe esoteric noise duo known as HEXA is the sonic union of Xiu Xiu’s focal point Jamie Stewart and sonic provocateur Lawrence English.

Shatter is a simmering, slow-burn noir odyssey inspired by the Greek myth of Echo and Narcissus, traversing subtle shades of sleepwalker dub, metallic lament, broken beats, and erotic negative space.
