about

"Provides footholds like glimpses of truth, then snatches them away...Enjoy the experience of being dislodged."
A Closer Listen

Rising Taiwanese sonic and visual experimentalist SABIWA teams up with Italian duo Queimada and Nathan L. for the release of strange and beguiling new EP Sons of _, marrying disembodied field recordings and processed orchestral instrumentation with coruscating noise and half-forgotten Taiwanese folklore.

â€œWe wanted to achieve a unique sonic experience that gently pulls listeners into a calm, introspective realm of sound, visuals, and hidden stories,â€ write the trio. All based in mainland Europe, but bringing divergent and itinerant influences to the mix, SABIWA, Queimada, and Nathan L. each represent complementary elements to the deep and unpredictable elixir that makes up their collaborative debut Sons of _. The record is characterised by SABIWAâ€™s heavily processed singing voice fluttering and glitching in strange, coded languages within a heavenly but deserted CGI cathedral rendered from crashed software. Italian brothers Marco and Lorenzo Colocci (Queimada and Nathan L. respectively) are both well versed musicians, exposed to classical schools as well as the outerspheres of experimental music. Their contribution to Sons of _ can be felt in its no-input thumps, its crawling of mechanical insects, its devastating waves of crushing noise. Together, the trio push at sonic realities and temporal structure to form an indecipherable messaging. â€œA rediscovery of a new self, unrecognisable from its former shape,â€ they offer.

Key moment â€œNothing blue - ç„¡æ†‚ç„¡æ…®â€ feels culled from a dreamlike, alien mythology, fugged into disparate and divergent worlds as if the dust from a newly-collapsed Tower of Babel has still not settled. The track loops and swoons with raw distortion, James Bond fever dream strings, and SABIWAâ€™s mystifying vocal experimentation before introducing a lolloping rhythm of church bells and crackling, staticky snare. Next, â€œWhat is true is not true -ç„¡æ˜Žå¤§å¤¢â€ almost proceeds like a song. It has a recognisable rhythm - rare for Sons of _ - and a processed vocal loop maintains a riverine melodic flow. But throughout, its foundations splinter and shiver under the weight of malfunctioning modems screaming to escape. Later, â€œThe Root of Unwilled Existence - ç„¡è‡ªæ€§â€ breaks apart under its own weight. Clouds of noxious gas swallow whole its harmonic voicing as mischievous transversal pixies haunt a psychedelic, reverberant inner chamber.

Wow. My mate just sent me a link to Arreyed on the Battlefield after he caught just 30 seconds of it on the radio and managed to Shazam itâ€¦.pretty lucky considering how bad Shazam can be. But he sent me the Spotify link to listen and soon I was about 1 minute in I knew I was going to hunt this down for a physical release. Thank goodness I found it here as I love to buy through Bandcamp. What an amazing piece of music. I cannot wait for the record to arrive so I can listen to the whole album. Richard Tovey
