Levrikon My favorite albums of 2024, #13.
Shackleton is such a good pairing with Holy Tongue, he adds a much-needed warmth to the post-punk trio's usual aloof chilliness. There's some of that still, but it's buoyed with jazz and world music to make an intoxicating whole. Favorite track: The Fruit of the Fall.

sirpippo wow, the bass is mesmerizing and perceptible inside the veins

Harrison Phinney I canâ€™t imagine a more exciting and well-matched collaboration than this. a transportive, actualized work, which synthesizes too many influences and ideas to rattle off. instead, listen! to listen is to believe ðŸ”„ to believe is to listen.

c o n j u r there will be no contenders. album of the year. Shackleton continuing his collaborative experiments with free dub (?) duo Holy Tongue. next level rhythms, dubbed out to the ends of the earth, full of all the magic you could ever sonically desire. Favorite track: The Fruit of the Fall.

Jason Boardman Interplanetary abstract dub vibrations! Favorite track: The Fruit of the Fall.

about

The Tumbling Psychic Joy of Now, a ritualistic and expanding collaborative album between Holy Tongue and Shackleton, will be released by AD 93 on the 23rd August 2024.

Holy Tongue are a trio composed of Valentina Magaletti, Al Wootton and Susumu Mukai. Accomplished musicians in their own right, they combined to create psychedelic, free-form, high energy, spiritual dub-dance music across a trilogy of critically acclaimed EPs and their debut album Deliverance and Spiritual Warfare. Their high energy live performances invoke the experimental dub of On-U-Sound, the frenetic rhythms of 23 Skidoo, Liquid Liquid and ESG, and the spiritual energy of free jazz.

The trioâ€™s dynamic collaboration extends in their meeting with Shackleton, one of the most original and critically lauded voices in electronic music. Shackleton has moved from the depths of the early 2000s dubstep underground to a diverse range of international collaborations and commissions over the last two decades. After honing his hypnotic beats on the cult UK record label Skull Disco, his unique rhythmic touch is now heard on some of the most adventurous and progressive projects that have emerged from the European dance scene in recent years. Shackletonâ€™s work explores conceptual and spiritual themes with an emotional depth beyond most artists working in European dance music today, and his visions of inner space, apocalypse and dread are more timely than ever before.

This record was conceived after Holy Tongue and Shackleton shared a festival line up in Sweden. Holy Tongue were initially keen to get Shackleton to remix one of their existing tracks but they soon decided to have a project together and work on some fresh new music, allowing Shackleton to do something more creative with it in the studio. Thus Holy Tongue recorded a collection of raw material in the studio and sent it to Shackleton. The result is far more than the sum of its parts. A psychedelic, ritualistic, dub trip, oscillating between the maximal and the minimal, the internal and the external, the micro and the macro, ecstasy and agony, all the tumbling psychic joy of now.
