Flora Yin Wong & Sebastien Roux
October 17, 2024
Flora Yin Wong outdoes herself on her latest side for GRM, sonically replicating the trigrams that surround traditional pakua mirrors by juxtaposing disorienting, reverb-drenched tones, voices and concrète scrapes with dissociated rhythms and ghostly bell sounds. Sébastian Roux handles the flip, painting a teeming natural landscape with algorithmically controlled sine tones.
Watkins Group
October 17, 2024
Watkins Group is a new project from one half of infamous Crust House vagrants Watkins & Almodovar, taking inspiration from the landscapes, myths and legends of ancient Scottish & Celtic culture. The title of this debut album on the newborn Frequency Consortium label, Beanntan a’ Bhròin (Mountains of Sorrow), might already give an indication as to where we’re headed here; evoking Nan Shepard’s meditations on the Cairngorms at their most isolationist & uncompromising as much as it does the creatures that occupy the crags, gullies & glens of old Caledonia. Watkins Group dive deep into fx-drenched grot and expansive somnambulant driftworks over six tracks, as spacious as they claustrophobic, recalling the works of Deathprod, early-90s Lustmord and at times even the stark soundtracks of Mica Levi. credits
