TR/ST - All at Once (Official Audio) Dais Records 2024-07-09 | Order 'Performance' on limited vinyl and CD, and stream at: https://found.ee/PerformanceThe 4th full-length studio album by Robert Alfons aka TR/ST (fka Trust), 'Performance', sinks even further into the nasty synth-pop psychodrama that the project has pioneered and, finally, perfected across over a decade of evolution. Recorded in Los Angeles, the songs seethe with dread, lust, reckoning, and abandon, backlit by the light pollution of a thousand dead end city streets. Alfons co-produced the collection with versatile composer and producer Nightfeelings, achieving a thick, smoky balance of eerie synths, fog machine low end, and bruised, crooning voice.The title alludes to a friend’s offhand remark about Alfons' intrinsically performative nature. The opener, "Soon," swells to life with hymnal electronics before kicking through the dance floor with a huge new wave hook, spiked with caustic kiss-off lyrics ("Asleep I still say it aloud / Scared stiff it’s all around / We never did call it off, now our organs dried / Scared stiff to stone, you liar"). The music moves between beauty and bitterness, anthem and anguish, the sound of melancholia gone massive. On track after track, Alfons wields pop dynamics and brooding production wizardry like a weapon, spiraling through a roll call of singles – "All At Once," "The Shore," "Dark Day," "Boys of LA." Throughout, there’s a sense of emotional turmoil elevated to strange heights, stained by guilt and ghosts and the memory of those wronged and those still unforgiven.As a world unto itself, Performance is persuasive, immersive, and intoxicating, at the threshold of stirring and disturbing. Alfons’ voice is the anchor in the storm, singing a collage of impressions and confessions with a smeared, stream of consciousness logic. He’s both observer and instigator, performer and playwright, liberated by the stage and the night: "Now we see the rotten mind / It’s eye to eye and mysteries/ Sail your boat for shore / I sit by the window waiting for it."Written by Robert AlfonsProduced by Robert Alfons, Nightfeelings, Chicken/BurkeMixed by Chris CoadyMastered by Mike BozziDesigned by Collin FletcherPhotography by Robert AlfonsTR/ST:Instagram: https://found.ee/TRSTIGBandcamp: https://found.ee/TRSTbcWebsite: https://found.ee/TRSTwebsiteYouTube: https://found.ee/TRSTyoutubeFacebook: https://found.ee/TRSTFBDais Records:Instagram: https://found.ee/DaisRecordsIG Bandcamp: https://found.ee/DaisRecordsBCTwitter: https://found.ee/DaisRecordsTwFacebook: https://found.ee/DaisRecordsFBSubscribe: https://found.ee/DaisRecordsYTWebsite: https://found.ee/DaisRecords

trauma ray - Bishop (Official Audio) Dais Records 2024-08-13 | Pre-order trauma ray's debut album 'Chameleon' on limited Glow in the Dark, black vinyl and CD: https://found.ee/traumaray"I grew up in a pretty religious setting. Sin, guilt, and penance have always been themes that have stuck with me since a very young age. The fear of hell and fire was instilled in me when I was in my most malleable state and the lyrics to this song tie to that period of my life." - Uriinstagram.com/trauma.rayinstagram.com/daisrecordsSince first bonding over Slowdive at a Texas karaoke bar six years ago, musicians Uriel Avila and Jonathan Perez have grown trauma ray into Fort Worth’s foremost flag bearer of crushing shoegaze. A five-piece rounded out by bassist Darren Baun, drummer Nicholas Bobotas, and guitarist Coleman Pruitt, the band’s debut album, 'Chameleon,' captures their evolving sound at an apex of majestic devastation. A fusion of downer hooks, gauzy melancholia, and bulldozer riffs, the album heaves and crashes across 50 minutes of stacked amplifier alchemy. Lyrically the songs trace similarly lofty and brooding terrain; Avila says "The theme is death. And a chameleon, like death, can shape-shift in and out our lives in different forms."'Chameleon' opens with "Ember," dreamy and distant, alternately anthemic and apocalyptic, defeated and deafening. Lead single "Bishop" perfectly encapsulates trauma ray’s depth and dimension, ripping out of the gate with “the biggest, baddest, saddest wall of sound.” Lyrics about being burnt at the stake and "tossed in the flame" float above a stop-start assault of precision distortion, eventually expanding into a lush, heavy, sorrowful end coda. "Spectre" is a mysterious, introspective dirge, envisioned as a "mellow, slowcore, Duster-thing," all feeling and heavy fuzz chords (with no lead guitar). Avila wrote it, "to be a hymnal" from the perspective of someone who won't let go - a ghost, an ex, a shadow self.Although the album is rich with subtleties, graceful lulls, and "breaths of air," the band’s three guitar attack is its defining force, a power flexed to its peak on "Bardo." Perez’s intentions were blunt: "I wanted to write a riff that was hard as fuck." The result is alternately mean and eerie, veering between noisy one string bends and surging headbang, mapping a middle ground between Unwound and early-Deftones. One of trauma ray’s greatest gifts is their ability to make doomy, sledgehammer heaviness sound like an earworm, without production tricks or gimmicks: "Riff, verse, chorus, three guitar parts – that’s all you need." This quality is particularly apparent on the title track, a churning slab of amplifier worship, swirling chords, and heavenly, defeated vocals about not belonging, shape-shifting, and death ("A twisted face / Void of attention / An empty space / In your reflection")."U.S.D.D.O.S" closes the album, swaying across seven minutes of grey skied guitar and haunted voice, subtly thickening as it deepens. Feedback and shrapnel gradually begin raining down, like a satellite disintegrating in the atmosphere. Titled as an acronym after a poem by Chilean writer Roberto Bolaño that loosely translates to "a dream within a dream," the melody softens, smears, and then disappears, slowly swallowed by the gravity of eternal descent. 'Chameleon' is a masterpiece of craft, balance, melody, lyricism, and gravity, flexing a fresh vision of loud-quiet-loud architectures and the vertigo depths of blasted harmonics. From Slowdive to Nothing, to Hum and beyond, the band absorb and expand on their influences into a rare and dedicated alchemy. trauma ray's cinematic tempest is a gathering storm only just taking flight.trauma ray:traumaray.bandcamp.com/album/chameleonhttps://linktr.ee/traumaraytwitch.tv/trauma_raytwitter.com/trauma_rayDais Records:daisrecords.comhttps://linktr.ee/daisrecordsdaisrecords.bandcamp.comfacebook.com/daisrecords"Bishop" lyrics:Tossed in the flameAnother name to burnIt’s all the sameAshes to fill the urnTossed in the flameIt’s time to take your turnEmbrace the painEndure the fate you earnYou choke and searThe smoke will clearYou will be gone
Kite - Hum Hum (Official Audio) Dais Records 2024-08-09 | "Hum Hum" from Kite's 'VII', out now on 2xLP and CD: https://found.ee/KiteVIISince surfacing into the Scandinavian synth-pop scene 16 years ago, Nicklas Stenemo and Christian Hutchinson Berg aka Kite have steadily grown from local icons to a global phenomenon, yet until now they’ve never released a full-length studio album. 'VII' breaks the ice, collecting 14 of the duo’s deepest and most dynamic anthems into a stormy saga of immersive, apocalyptic emotion. Sourced from a series of seven 7-inch singles released over the past half-decade, the collection persuasively showcases Kite’s distinctly cinematic strain of Swedish darkwave in all its glory and desolation.Stenemo and Berg had both logged time in other bands before joining forces in the mid-aughts, although their unique chemistry became apparent immediately. After forming in Malmö, Sweden, they soon relocated to Stockholm, further refining their fusion of brooding synths, booming rhythm, and vocal theatrics over a string of celebrated, numbered EPs (named I through VI). Despite their rising profile, Kite then and now have largely refrained from publicity, allowing their music to speak for itself – which it clearly has, as Kite’s live performances have become the stuff of legend, prompting frequent festival invitations, international tours, and limited engagements on prestigious stages (recently at the Royal Swedish Opera, and Dalhalla, the former limestone quarry turned open air amphitheater, to name a few).VII offers a compendium of Kite’s potent recent discography, including collaborations with Blanck Mass, Anna von Hausswolff, and Henric de la Cour. From yearning dystopian pop ("Hand Out The Drugs," "Bowie ‘95"), to widescreen existential balladry ("Tranås/Stenslanda," "Glassy Eyes"), and sleek New Romantica ("Remember Me," "Teenage Bliss"), Kite’s wavelength is one of soaring heights and abysmal depths, anguish and ecstasy, pouring one’s burning, battered heart into the here and now. Their years of visceral commitment and artistic integrity have been hard fought and hard won; it bleeds between the words and melodies in one holy moment after another: "I switch my ways / To seize the day / To face my life / Not fade to gray."

Order on limited vinyl, CD and cassette: https://found.ee/GuidedTourWatch the video for "Mind's a Lie": youtube.com/watch?v=147BrDp-XuAinstagram.com/highvisinstagram.com/daisrecordsSince first forming in 2016, London’s High Vis have steadily polished their palette of progressive hardcore with shades of post-punk, Brit pop, neo-psychedelia, and even Madchester groove, mapping a middle ground between hooks and fury, melodies and mosh pits. Singer Graham Sayle describes their third album 'Guided Tour' as an axis of competing forces: “It’s trying to be a hopeful record, while also being incensed.” Rounded out by drummer Edward 'Ski' Harper, bassist Jack Muncaster, and guitarists Martin MacNamara and Rob Hammaren, the band’s deep roots in the UK and Irish DIY hardcore scenes have kept them grounded but growing, inspired equally by restlessness and righteous anger. As Sayle puts it, "Everyone’s scratching, everyone’s working all the time, and their idea of relaxing is just getting fucked and avoiding reality. This album is an escape from that."From its opening seconds of a cab door slamming, a car revving away, and a baggy rhythm swinging to life, 'Guided Tour' sounds like a band reaching for new heights, bristling with energy. Recorded across a few weeks at Holy Mountain Studios in London with producer Jonah Falco and engineer Stanley Gravett, the results feel dynamic and dialed-in, like anthems burned into sense memory through sweat and repetition. Harper cuts to the chase: "We had a clear idea going in, every moment got used. Maybe when we’re 60 we can sit around and get a drum sound right, but for now it’s about getting things done."The album’s 11 songs span the spectrum of contemporary guitar music, sharpened by experience, camaraderie, and societal frustrations. From swaggering street punk ("Drop Me Out," "Mob DLA") to jangling indie sneer ("Worth The Wait," "Deserve It") to heavy alt ("Feeling Bless," "Fill The Gap") to shoegazey spoken word ("Untethered"), the group’s chemistry transmutes any style to their unique intensity. Sayle champions this evolving fusion: "For years coming from hardcore, we had pretty clear boundaries – other scenes were separate worlds. Now things are getting more blended, drawing from different places."Nowhere is this sentiment flexed more boldly than on "Mind’s A Lie," a dance-punk anthem inspired by Harper's love of house, garage, and pirate radio. Stabs of sampled female vocals (by celebrated South London singer and DJ Ell Murphy) build into a razor wire rhythm of low-slung bass, tense drums, and sparkling guitar before Sayle’s staunch voice starts barking harsh truths ("Face to face with all I’ve known / I can’t call these thoughts my own"). After a sudden breakdown, the track regroups and takes off, cruising into the horizon in a haze of chiming guitars and Murphy’s ascendant voice, from the streets to somewhere beyond.High Vis:instagram.com/highvishighvisuk.comhighvis.bandcamp.comyoutube.com/@highvisukhttps://linktr.ee/highvisDais Records:instagram.com/daisrecordsdaisrecords.comdaisrecords.bandcamp.comyoutube.com/@DaisRecordsfacebook.com/daisrecordstwitter.com/daisrecords"Mind's a Lie" lyrics:Do you wanna giz a chance to try?Cross the line,Just to get by.Exhaust the fuel,We rinsed it dry.What is truth,When your mind’s a lie?Face to face,With all I’ve known,But I can’t call these thoughts my own.Redemption so far beyond me,Paranoid, alone and lonely.Do you wanna giz a chance to try?Cross the line,Just to get by.Exhaust the fuel,We rinsed it dry.What is truth,When your mind’s a lie?Face to face,With all I’ve known,But I can’t call these thoughts my own.Redemption so far beyond me,Paranoid, alone and lonely.Come on giz a chance to try.What is truth,When your mind’s a lie?

Cold Gawd - Gorgeous (Official Audio) Dais Records 2024-07-17 | Pre-order Cold Gawd's 'DROWN' on ultra limited vinyl from Dais, out August 30: https://found.ee/ColdGawdDrownSouthern California shoegaze squad Cold Gawd return to Dais for their second and most supreme suite yet of crushing downer bliss: 'I’ll Drown On This Earth.' From the defiant scream that kicks off opening cut "Gorgeous," the album rips in what singer and principal songwriter Matthew Wainwright describes as "go for it" mode: holding back nothing, wasting no time. Although the bulk of the songs were written in 2022, recording sessions weren’t booked until March of 2024, which allowed ample time to refine and distill the music’s hooks, heaviness, and haze. The result is a perfect storm of distortion and dream pop, cracked love songs cloaked in swooning walls of noise.Recorded at Paradise Recorders in Anaheim, California with Colin Knight (of post-punk unit Object of Affection), Wainwright tracked the strings while Cameron Fonacier handled drums. The process was efficient and effective, sharpened by years of performance. Anthemic headbangers like "Portland," "All My Life, My Heart Has Yearned For A Thing I Cannot Name," and "Malibu Beach House" sound as dynamic as they do dialed-in, soaked into the bones of the players. The lyrics came last, written by Wainwright a week before recording. Moods of surreality ("I can hear the blood in my fingers / nothing tunes out / the world’s too loud"), infatuation ("I will follow / everywhere you go / any way to feel / how you glow"), and melancholy ("God kept me around / for no good reason") flicker and fade within a fog of memory and reverb.As on 2022’s 'God Get Me The Fuck Out Of Here,' Cold Gawd's contemporary vision of shoegaze manifests intriguingly in outlier moments, like the hushed, whirlpool reverie of "Tappan," or the vaporous, slow-grind downtempo of "Nudism" (complete with regal piano outro).

Cold Gawd - All My Life, My Heart Has Yearned For A Thing I Cannot Name (Official Audio) Dais Records 2024-06-18 | Pre-order Cold Gawd's 'DROWN' on ultra limited vinyl from Dais, out August 30: https://found.ee/ColdGawdDrownSouthern California shoegaze squad Cold Gawd return to Dais for their second and most supreme suite yet of crushing downer bliss: 'I’ll Drown On This Earth.' From the defiant scream that kicks off opening cut "Gorgeous," the album rips in what singer and principal songwriter Matthew Wainwright describes as "go for it" mode: holding back nothing, wasting no time. Although the bulk of the songs were written in 2022, recording sessions weren’t booked until March of 2024, which allowed ample time to refine and distill the music’s hooks, heaviness, and haze. The result is a perfect storm of distortion and dream pop, cracked love songs cloaked in swooning walls of noise.Recorded at Paradise Recorders in Anaheim, California with Colin Knight (of post-punk unit Object of Affection), Wainwright tracked the strings while Cameron Fonacier handled drums. The process was efficient and effective, sharpened by years of performance. Anthemic headbangers like "Portland," "All My Life, My Heart Has Yearned For A Thing I Cannot Name," and "Malibu Beach House" sound as dynamic as they do dialed-in, soaked into the bones of the players. The lyrics came last, written by Wainwright a week before recording. Moods of surreality ("I can hear the blood in my fingers / nothing tunes out / the world’s too loud"), infatuation ("I will follow / everywhere you go / any way to feel / how you glow"), and melancholy ("God kept me around / for no good reason") flicker and fade within a fog of memory and reverb.As on 2022’s 'God Get Me The Fuck Out Of Here,' Cold Gawd's contemporary vision of shoegaze manifests intriguingly in outlier moments, like the hushed, whirlpool reverie of "Tappan," or the vaporous, slow-grind downtempo of "Nudism" (complete with regal piano outro). Theirs is a muse as vivid as it is varied, from Loveless, to Drake, post-hardcore and Beach House. Drown evocatively captures the expanding canon of Cold Gawd, dense with riffs and raptures, escape and revelation, channeled from stacked amps and hidden powers: "Give praise / to whatever / I got time for / hallelujah."Cold Gawd:Instagram https://found.ee/ColdGawdIGBandcamp https://found.ee/ColdGawdBCYouTube https://found.ee/ColdGawdYTWeb https://found.ee/ColdGawdWebDais Records:Instagram https://found.ee/DaisRecordsIG Bandcamp https://found.ee/DaisRecordsBCTwitter https://found.ee/DaisRecordsTwFacebook https://found.ee/DaisRecordsFBSubscribe https://found.ee/DaisRecordsYTWebsite https://found.ee/DaisRecords"All My Life" lyrics:can you kiss mein timeto let me feelit’ll pass byI’ll take youto that place in mindwill youcome inside?

Order on limited vinyl, CD and cassette: https://found.ee/GuidedTourinstagram.com/highvisinstagram.com/daisrecords"The years upon years of public service cuts have had a devastating human effect on communities in the UK. People are forced to justify their need for assistance, made to endure dehumanizing tests in order to monitor their eligibility for support for often lifelong disabilities. Marginalized communities are left to fend for themselves then vilified in targeted media smear campaigns. This is all happening in the shadow of ever increasing bonuses and salaries for the political and industrial elite and their friends. I have seen this in my own family. The stress and anxiety of people simply trying to find space in a world which increasingly feels designed against them is palpable. And through it all, I’ve seen the power of community action in the face of sustained neglect." - Graham Sayle"Mob DLA" precedes a string of festival performances around the globe this summer, including Glastonbury in the UK, Hurricane Festival in Germany, Hellfest in France, Louder Than Life in Kentucky, Aftershock in California, Mondra & Roll in Spain, and more.High Vis:instagram.com/highvishighvisuk.comhighvis.bandcamp.comyoutube.com/@highvisukhttps://linktr.ee/highvisDais Records:instagram.com/daisrecordsdaisrecords.comdaisrecords.bandcamp.comyoutube.com/@DaisRecordsfacebook.com/daisrecordstwitter.com/daisrecords"Mob DLA" lyrics:InconsequentialOut of sightAin't out my mindWatching as you suffocateBetrayed by lifeSomewhere in between our hope and fateNothing ever comes to those who waitI've seen enough to know for sureThe DSS back at your doorForced to beg, to fight, to prayA burden that you can’t escapeIs the price of life too much to bear?If you can’t see it, is it not there?They owe you more than a fucking livingWe owe you moreSomewhere in between our hope and fateNothing ever comes to those who waitOut of sightOut of my mindAloneAshamedAnd ostracizedOut of sightOut of mindSomewhere in between our hope and fateNothing ever comes to those who wait
Drew McDowall - In Wound and Water (Official Audio) Dais Records 2024-05-31 | Order 'A Thread Silvered and Trembling' on vinyl: https://found.ee/AThreadSilveredScottish experimental/electronic musician Drew McDowall’s lifelong interest in an elegiac solo bagpipe style called pibroch (ceòl mòr in Gaelic) has been an inspiration for much of his previous work (including Coil’s legendary Time Machines). This form, often traditionally used for laments and for tributes to the dead, fuses modal drones with flickering dissonance and plaintive melody evoking an ancient, solemn mood.His latest work, 'A Thread, Silvered and Trembling', both incorporates and transforms these elements via exploratory electronic processing, weaving an electro-acoustic tapestry of strings, shudders, voids, and voices, alternately disembodied and displaced. Co-produced with engineer Randall Dunn at Circular Ruin Studios in Brooklyn, the collection’s four pieces capture McDowall at his most elevated and elusive, in thrall to "the ineffable – that which refuses to be spoken."McDowall’s palette here is unusually eclectic, sourced from a dynamic orchestral ensemble arranged by Brent Arnold and comprised of cello, viola, violin, harp (Marilu Donovan of LEYA), and french horn. Ebbing between shrouded electronics and enigmatic, sometimes spectralist orchestration, the album moves with a seething, simmering energy, surging into elegant, uneasy crescendos. The first two pieces are inspired by a liberatory hijacking and inversion of a grim biblical story (and by a cryptic and strange UK simple syrup branding). Opener "Out of Strength Comes Sweetness" shivers with short echo and resonant pads, before shifting into the album’s centerpiece: the 14-minute saga "And Lions Will Sing with Joy." A murmuring electrical storm of keening strings and disorienting drones gradually grows darker and denser, until suddenly there’s a crack in the clouds, revealing mutated choral voices and sparkling harp. McDowall describes the track as "an incantation to help usher in a break, and a new beginning."The record’s latter half evokes a deep untamed animism shot through with spiraling radiance. "In Wound and Water" sways with harp, plucked strings and eerie cello undertows while lush layers of disorientated electronics hang in the dusk. There is no resolution, only a faint gradient of fragile dissipation, leading into the album’s harrowing and climactic closer, "A Dream of a Cartographic Membrane Dissolves." Processed voices (credited on the liner notes to "The Ghosts Who Refuse to Rest") contort, whisper, and gather as the rest of the ensemble sharpens, poising to strike. Then it does – grand, tragic stabs of strings and horns lashing the sky, storming heaven by force.The fallout is poetic and inevitable, raining embers into a dark sea. But the journey and catharsis of A Thread linger long after it goes silent. Like so much of McDowall’s multifaceted catalog, this is music of immanence and alchemy, attuned equally to the sacred and the profane, to the tile and the mosaic.

KITE - Glassy Eyes (Official Audio) Dais Records 2024-02-20 | Stream and order the 7" at: https://found.ee/LosingGlassyEyesSwedish synth-pop phenomenon Kite’s second 7 inch since signing with Dais in 2023 finds the duo of Nicklas Stenemo and Christian Hutchinson Berg swinging for new heights of romantic desolation and baroque grandeur. They describe the A Side, "Losing," as a "six-minute empty call for emotional response." Stately piano and anguished voice reverberate in a vaulted hall, before gradually building into a widescreen anthem of synths, drums, and soaring vocals decrying the steady deadening of life and love: "It’s deadly quiet in your old heart / Are you there? / I see dark skies on the rise / And daylight shows no remorse / And I realize it is my life / But It’s losing all meaning." Swedish dark music icons Anna von Hausswolff and Henric de la Cour join the chorus as the song cascades towards an ominous horizon.The B Side, "Glassy Eyes," showcases Kite’s mastery of somber, sweeping balladry. Hushed church organ elevates and anchors Stenemo’s devastated confessional, swaying between resilience and defeat. The band describes the song as a reckoning with "the privileged and existential anxiety of drifting through life dispassionately,” contrasted with “the yearning to connect profoundly with others and a desire for experiences that stir the soul before facing one’s final moments." Like a hymn, the emotion thickens as it deepens, approaching both darkness and divinity: "Deep as I go, nothing to find / Oh catatonia, I won’t cry / Nothing can grow, everything dies / Behind my glassy eyes."Kite:Instagram https://found.ee/KiteIGBandcamp https://found.ee/KiteBCYouTube https://found.ee/KiteYTSpotify https://found.ee/KiteSpotifyFacebook https://found.ee/KiteFBLinktree https://linktr.ee/kitehqDais Records:Instagram https://found.ee/DaisRecordsIGBandcamp https://found.ee/DaisRecordsBCTwitter https://found.ee/DaisRecordsTwWebsite https://found.ee/DaisRecordsFacebook https://found.ee/DaisRecordsFBSubscribe https://found.ee/DaisRecordsYT"Glassy Eyes" lyrics:Deep as I go, nothing to findOh catatonia, I won’t cryNothing can grow, everything diesBehind my glassy eyes Please cut my heart outIts was worn out years agoJust like my dress, torn and boringMonday morning, here we goBut I don’t cryDeep as I go, nothing to findOh catatonia, I won’t cryNothing can grow, everything diesBehind my glassy eyes

Coil - Bee Stings (Official Remastered Audio) Dais Records 2024-02-06 | Order 'Moon's Milk (In Four Phases)' at https://found.ee/MoonsMilkThe Dais Records "Moon's Milk" reissue is in collaboration with surviving Coil members and collaborators Drew McDowall, William Breeze, Thighpaulsandra and Steven Stapleton, with remastered audio by Josh Bonati.First compiled as a double CD in 2002, 'Moon’s Milk (in Four Phases)' is a suite of four EPs that Coil released seasonally via their in-house Eskaton imprint across 1998. The line-up for these sessions were John Balance, Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson, Drew McDowall, and William Breeze. Recorded primarily at their home studio in Chiswick, London on the eve of a permanent relocation to the small seaside town of Weston-Super- Mare, the collection has long loomed as a pivotal and pinnacle work in the group's discography, but has never been officially reissued, or repressed on vinyl. Time has only ripened its tapestry of regal strangeness.Arranged sequentially in tribute to the equinoxes and solstices, 'Moon's Milk' captures Coil at a revelatory crossroads, leaning deeper into improvisation, spontaneity, and sound design. "Moon's Milk or Under an Unquiet Skull" initiates the proceedings on Spring Equinox, a two-part netherworld organ séance woven from vocal drones, cathedral keys, seasick strings, and opiated undertow. From there, 'Summer Solstice' skews lighter but no less incantational, with Balance embracing his voice- as-instrument across lucid dream torch songs ("Bee Stings"), purgatorial spoken word ("Glowworms/Waveforms"), sultry chamber pieces ("Summer Substructures"), and falsetto ravings ("A Warning From The Sun (For Fritz)").'Autumn Equinox' exudes more of a pensive and twilit mood, from the Rose McDowall-sung folk ballad "Rosa Decidua" ("I hear your voice sing near to me / I've put away the poisoned chalice (for now) / And lie down amongst the flowerbeds") to hall-of-lords hallucination "The Auto- Asphyxiating Hierophant” to the liminal string-plucked classic "Amethyst Deceivers," featuring excellent alien guitar by Breeze layered with Balance’s oft-quoted couplet: "Pay your respects to the vultures / For they are your future."The album’s final chapter, 'Winter Solstice', is its most swooning, remote, and ceremonial. Opener "A White Rainbow" stirs strings, layered choral vocals, and shivering rhythm into an imploding burial hymn. "North" oscillates bleakly, a ghost in the machine murmuring opaque prophecy ("This black dog has no owner / This black dog has no odour"), while "Magnetic North" is its inverse, a guided meditation of gently flickering software and surreal chakra poetics ("Red rose filling the skull / Yellow cube in the lower pelvis / Silver moon crescent below the navel"). The suite fades to grey with a traditional English carol ("Christmas Is Now Drawing Near"), rendered like an executioner's song by Rose McDowall’s doomed, beautiful voice.The Dais box set includes the entirety of the rare 'Moon's Milk Bonus Disc' CD-R / 2019 Threshold Archives 'Copal' CD, which includes three collaborations with Thighpaulsandra. This material is as rich and intoxicating as the previous four phases, ranging from electro-acoustic singing bowl rituals ("Copal") to dissonant electronic recitations of visionary Angus MacLise poetry ("The Coppice Meat") to ominous classical melancholia ("Bankside"). Once again, Coil confirm the vastness of their confounding, infinite alchemy, explored and refined across decades of experimentation – both sonic and bodily. From post-industrial to post-everything, theirs is an art untethered, in the wilds of its own design.Dais Records:Instagram https://found.ee/DaisRecordsIGBandcamp https://found.ee/DaisRecordsBCTwitter https://found.ee/DaisRecordsTwWebsite https://found.ee/DaisRecordsFacebook https://found.ee/DaisRecordsFBSubscribe https://found.ee/DaisRecordsYT
TR/ST - Being Boring (feat. Jake Shears) (Official Audio) Dais Records 2024-01-26 | "Being Boring" from TR/ST's self-titled EP, out now: https://found.ee/TRSTEPTR/ST (fka Trust) is the musical alias of producer, singer, and performer Robert Alfons. Born in Winnipeg, Canada (but based in Los Angeles for the past decade), he has released a string of celebrated albums fusing swooning synth-pop, confessional darkwave, and anthemic emotion: 'TRST' (2012), 'Joyland' (2014), 'The Destroyer - Part One' (2019), and 'The Destroyer – Part Two' (2019). In late 2023, TR/ST joined the Dais Records roster, announcing the union with the release of the single “Robrash”, while hinting at more new music ahead.January 2024 sees the release of the new, minimally titled “TR/ST EP”, featuring four new tracks in addition to “Robrash” : the new dancefloor heater “Run” featuring Canadian hyperpop star Cecile Believe, a beautiful cover of the Pet Shop Boys classic 1990 anthem “Being Boring” featuring Jake Shears, the delicate and gauzy nearly-ambient composition “Evercall”, and an official release of the fan favorite “Slug”, previously only released to YouTube in 2015.Alfons confirms he is in the studio working on a new album, expanding their singular sound in ways both cinematic and surprising: “Bigger, better, beautiful, and buried in mud.”Written by Chris Lowe and Neil Tennent (Published by Sony/ATV Tunes LLC, Lyrics by Kobalt Publishing)Performed by TR/ST and Jake ShearsProduced by Robert Alfons and NightfeelingsJake's vocal engineer Carlos Mas at StrongroomMixed by Lars StalforsTR/ST:Instagram: https://found.ee/TRSTIGBandcamp: https://found.ee/TRSTbcWebsite: https://found.ee/TRSTwebsiteYouTube: https://found.ee/TRSTyoutubeFacebook: https://found.ee/TRSTFBDais Records:Instagram: https://found.ee/DaisRecordsIG Bandcamp: https://found.ee/DaisRecordsBCTwitter: https://found.ee/DaisRecordsTwFacebook: https://found.ee/DaisRecordsFBSubscribe: https://found.ee/DaisRecordsYTWebsite: https://found.ee/DaisRecords"Being Boring" lyrics:I came across a cache of old photosAnd invitations to teenage parties“Dress in white” one said with quotationsFrom someone’s wife, a famous writer in the nineteen-twentiesWhen you’re young you find inspiration In anyone who’s ever gone And opened up a closing doorShe said: “We were never feeling bored”Cause we were never being boringWe had too much time to find for ourselvesAnd we were never being boringWe dressed up and fought, then thought: “Make amends”And we were never holding back or worried that Time would come to an endWhen I went I left from the station With a haversack and some trepidationSomeone said: “If you’re not carefulYou’ll have nothing left and nothing to care for In the nineteen-seventies”But I sat back and looking forwardMy shoes were high and I had scoredI bolted through a closing doorI would never find myself being boredCause we were never being boringWe had too much time to find for ourselvesAnd we were never being boringWe dressed up and fought then thought: “Make amends”And we were never holding back or worried that Time would come to an endWe were always hoping that, looking backYou could always rely on a friendAnd now I sit with different facesIn rented rooms and foreign placesAll the people I was kissingSome and here and some are missing In the nineteen-ninetiesI never dreamt that I would get to beThe creature that I always meant to beBut I thought in spite of dreamsYou’d be sitting somewhere here with meCause we were never being boringWe had too much time to find for ourselvesAnd we were never being boringWe dressed up and fought then thought: “Make amends”And we were never holding back or worried that Time would come to an endWe were always hoping that, looking backYou could always rely on a friendAnd we were never being boringWe were never being boredAnd we were never being boringWe were never being bored
VR SEX - Real Doll Time (Official Audio) Dais Records 2024-01-17 | From VR SEX's third album, 'Hard Copy', pre-order at: https://found.ee/HardCopyFollowing 2022’s 'Rough Dimension', Noel Skum – aka Andrew Clinco of Drab Majesty – made the radical leap of expanding his psychedelic post-punk vehicle VR SEX into a fully collaborative five-piece band. To christen the new group’s camaraderie, they booked a block of studio time in Glassell Park, swapped skeletal iPhone demos, and “did that classic thing of a band making the exact record they want without any interference.”Working 12-hour days, they banged out the basics in a week, then tracked the rest over a month, fine-tuning it with flourishes, FX, and amplifier experiments. 'Hard Copy' is the result – 10 tracks of sneering psychedelic punk streaked with Chrome-damaged freak-outs and snotty power pop harmonies chronicling sex doll love affairs and glue-sniffing fatales.Mixed and Recorded by Mike Kriebel by guitarist Mike Kriebel – an accomplished engineer with dozens of credits across the punk, goth, and garage underground – the album is dense, rich, and spatial, spurred by Clinco’s muse of “reckless abandon.” Shadows of Chrome, Stickmen With Rayguns, Japanese psych, and loud- quiet-loud grunge anthems flicker here and there, but ultimately VR SEX’s mode is more sardonic and saturated, oscillating between ripped leather riffing and space echo meltdowns. Banning plug-ins was a mission statement, with most instruments tracked direct into the board, then guitars added via a daisy chain of amplifiers, panned and mixed and matched for maximum intoxication: “My goal is always to load up every take with as much sound as possible in one pass.”Lyrically, the record revisits the project’s perennial fascinations: twisted lust, cheap thrills, dirty money, doomed delinquents, and ruined romance amid the creeps and cracked dreamers of gritty city voids. The title refers to the uncanny valley between “facsimile and the real thing, and the illusion that one is better than the other – when both come with their own menu of delights and demonic pleasures.” Hard Copy embraces extremes and outliers, delusion and perversion, the conflicted dimensional depths lurking in every exploded heart: “I can be ugly / I can be strong / I can be proper / I can be wrong / I can be lovely / or I can be gone / the thing that will haunt you is still hanging on.”****LYRICS:No hope, thread the ropeIt’s not a funny jokeGot needs out of reachStriking out in the human leagueAnd that’s life in RenoGone hog wild, playing KenoIt’s not equal odds, you play the hand you’re dealtNever feel the love they feltNot an issue its a crimeYou can still fall in love It’s Real Doll Time, Real Doll TimeShe’s always livin’ in her primeFits like a rubber gloveIt’s Real Doll Time, Real Doll TimeYour plot appears to be shotYou’re plain and aim to be shot downNo hugs for the slugNow take the drugs or buy the time you wish that you could findNot an issue its a crimeYou can still fall in love It’s Real Doll Time, Real Doll TimeShe’s always livin’ in her primeFeels like a rubber gloveIt’s Real Doll Time, Real Doll TimeAnd suddenly the perfect dateNever have to hear you’re running lateThat kiss is so consistentManufactured, trouble fractured in an instantNot an issue its a crimeYou can still fall in love It’s Real Doll Time, Real Doll TimeShe’s always livin’ in her primeFits like a rubber gloveIt’s Real Doll Time, Real Doll TimeReal Doll Time*****VR SEX:Instagram https://found.ee/VRSEXIGFacebook https://found.ee/VRSEXFBBandcamp https://found.ee/VRSEXBCVR SEX at Dais https://found.ee/DaisVRSEXDais Records:Instagram https://found.ee/DaisRecordsIG Bandcamp https://found.ee/DaisRecordsBCTwitter https://found.ee/DaisRecordsTwFacebook https://found.ee/DaisRecordsFBSubscribe https://found.ee/DaisRecordsYTWebsite https://found.ee/DaisRecords

AURAGRAPH - New Standard (Official Audio) Dais Records 2023-11-17 | From AURAGRAPH's 'New Standard' - order on LP: https://found.ee/NewStandardinstagram.com/auragraph_______instagram.com/daisrecordsThe latest by Texan-turned-Angeleno progressive vaporwave producer Carlos Ramirez aka AURAGRAPH finds him shifting focus to the dance floor across eight chrome clockworks of cosmic acid house and liquid rave glide: New Standard. Inspired by lessons learned during a 5K mile American road trip tour in the summer 2022, he set to work in his Simi Valley Tuff Shed of synths and hardware, pursuing an explicitly DJ- friendly muse: “I realized I wanted to make a record where every track could go off in a live setting.”These cuts do just that, revved and rhythmic, peppered with slap bass, Madchester whistles, filtered acid, gated snares, baggy cowbell, and sample pack classics – record scratches, orchestral stabs, the “Yeah! Woo!” from Lynn Collins “Think (About It).” Ramirez describes the process as immediate and instinctual: “I’d turn on the MPC, pick a tempo, and just improv – it was incredibly fun.”From sleek freeway techno (“110 Cruising”) to arcade lurker acid (“Coast 2 Coast”) to big room bangers (“666 Ambience”), the tracks time-travel across the canon of club music, sifting tricks and styles to fashion fresh anthems of hypnagogic jack. It’s an album channeled as much as crafted, tapping into the decks of mythic warehouse infinities past and present, where the system rips all night and acid never dies.AURAGRAPH:instagram.com/auragraph_______ @AURAGRAPH auragraph.bandcamp.comhttps://linktr.ee/auragraphDais Records: instagram.com/daisrecordsdaisrecords.comdaisrecords.bandcamp.comfacebook.com/daisrecordstwitter.com/daisrecords

Although the compact disc dominated much of the 1990s, tapes never went away. Martin is adamant about the format’s enduring potency: “Cassettes aren’t nostalgic, they’re relevant. Making a mix tape for a friend or love interest is a talismanic offering. It’s a reaching out, a sharing of discovery. For Miller, too, cassette culture was seismic; he continues to see singular strengths in the limitations of older technologies: “Having a device solely dedicated to music may seem unique to a person today, but there’s also a purity in it. The ritual of hitting play. Feeling the hum of the machine. Flipping at the end of the side. Tapes changed everything for me.”Retrospekt co-founders Adam and Kori Fuerst share a similar ethos. Although they initially started the company refurbishing vintage cameras, it has since expanded into tape players, radios, headphones, typewriters, Game Boys and beyond. Their passion for physicality, aesthetics and direct connection mirrors that of Miller and Martin: “These vintage machines aren’t obsolete – they still provide pleasure and enjoyment,” says Adam. “More and more people today realize this, and they want to have an organic, intentional experience without their metadata being tracked by some corporation.”Dais in-house creative designer Nathaniel Young reimagined the CP-81’s standard presentation for both player and packaging.

Drew McDowall - Animals Will Sing (Official Audio) Dais Records 2023-10-30 | Order the CP-81 Cassette Player and DAIS223 Tape Compilation at: https://found.ee/DaisXRetrospektThe legacy and lineage of Dais Records dovetails naturally with the mission statement of vintage electronics innovator Retrospekt: “Reviving retro tech for a new generation.” The fruit of their first collaboration is a chic, white, rose-adorned, limited-edition release of Retrospekt’s CP-81 portable cassette player containing an exclusive 19-track compilation cassette of unreleased material from the label's roster: 'DAIS223 – A Compilation'.Dais co-founders Gibby Miller and Ryan Martin both came of age in the cassette era and remain champions of “the sacred nature of the analog object.” The medium’s customizable, affordable, and portable nature empowered generations of subcultures to document and disseminate their creations. Although the compact disc dominated much of the 1990s, tapes never went away. Martin is adamant about the format’s enduring potency: “Cassettes aren’t nostalgic, they’re relevant. Making a mix tape for a friend or love interest is a talismanic offering. It’s a reaching out, a sharing of discovery. For Miller, too, cassette culture was seismic; he continues to see singular strengths in the limitations of older technologies: “Having a device solely dedicated to music may seem unique to a person today, but there’s also a purity in it. The ritual of hitting play. Feeling the hum of the machine. Flipping at the end of the side. Tapes changed everything for me.”Retrospekt co-founders Adam and Kori Fuerst share a similar ethos. Although they initially started the company refurbishing vintage cameras, it has since expanded into tape players, radios, headphones, typewriters, Game Boys and beyond.

CoH - nereides (Official Audio) Dais Records 2023-10-20 | From CoH's 'Radiant Faults," out now: https://found.ee/RadiantFaultsIvan Pavlov aka CoH characterizes his latest solo work, 'Radiant Faults', as “the recording of a dialogue,” rather than a set of compositions. Crafted using a rare new synthesizer, the Silhouette Eins, Pavlov’s first encounter with the instrument across a long, late night session resulted in a continuous set of textures, patterns, and subliminal melodies. At some point during the process, he realized he was not alone: “It was as if something was speaking to me through the gear – the feeling was very intense. No matter how determined and specific I attempted to be, the results were something else. They felt like 'responses.’ This instantly reminded me of ELpH.”ELpH is the name coined by Coil for a “celestial entity” that emanates from electronic equipment at mysterious moments, altering the creative process in unforeseen ways. They devised the term during studio sessions back in 1994, during which sustained software accidents ultimately seemed possessed of supernatural intelligence, spawning its own mythos. As a longtime member of Coil’s inner circle, Pavlov is steeped in ELpH’s ideology and influence – and highly qualified to identify an encounter of his own. Radiant Faults offers a compelling addition to the ELpH canon, at the threshold of music and manifestation, embracing the “divine quality of error.”The Silhouette Eins is a unique instrument combining the 1920's concept of an "optical soundtrack" with a hardware synth interface to Pure Data: a visual programming language for producing interactive music, using real- time video signal in its synthesis of sound. Pavlov’s attempted manipulations were answered by indecipherable transmissions from some distant, unknowable place. Stark waveforms drone and bend against skeletal metronomes; murmured pulses flicker down empty corridors; high fluorescent tones gleam and glitch in zero gravity – the mood throughout is one of generative whispers, hidden sentience, and ghosts in the machinery. A post-human terrain of scaffolding, shadows, and semi-conscious circuitry, rippling with veiled energies.Authorship aside, Pavlov’s process is transformative: “What we perceive as an error or mistake could very well be a message coming through. And while we are not able to decipher the message, sometimes – just like from a crack in a surface, or a tear in fabric – a light unexpectedly seeps through.”CoH:Bandcamp https://found.ee/CoHbandcampWebsite https://found.ee/PostPopCoH on Dais https://found.ee/CoHdaisDais Records:Instagram https://found.ee/DaisRecordsIGBandcamp https://found.ee/DaisRecordsBCTwitter https://found.ee/DaisRecordsTwWebsite https://found.ee/DaisRecordsFacebook https://found.ee/DaisRecordsFBSubscribe https://found.ee/DaisRecordsYT

Tor Lundvall - Its Over Now (Official Animated Video) Dais Records 2023-10-11 | "It's Over Now" from Tor Lundvall's 'Last Light', order on vinyl: https://found.ee/LastLightArt and animation by Tor Lundvall, July-September 2023 : “The process of creating this animated video was very old school. It took about two months of continuous work to complete. I hand painted each individual frame with oils on small pieces of primed paper. After I photographed each frame, I'd rub down certain elements with a rag and work over other areas in order to create a sequence of movements. Nothing was pre-planned. No storyboard was used. The imagery flowed spontaneously and naturally, although I kept the lyrics in mind while I painted each sequence.” - Tor LundvallOriginally released as a hand-numbered CD on New Year’s Eve of 2004, 'Last Light' captures Tor Lundvall’s hushed songcraft at its most ghostly and grayscale, stripped bare like branches bracing for winter. Initially conceived as “a piano album with sparse electronics” (with the working title 'November'), Lundvall’s palette steadily expanded, incorporating synthesizer, samples, bass, metronomes, and his signature spectral vocals. A journal entry from the spring of 2002 proved formative to his evolving vision: “I remember watching the blueish-grey light shimmering outside and hearing distant sounds echoing far away, eventually sinking into silence and stillness.”The album’s 12 tracks are steeped in this sense of autumnal transience, of bearing witness to what fades. The music moves in whispered swells, between dirge, drift, and devotional. Synths chime like slow-tolling bells; percussion shuffles and shivers, icy and isolated; bass traces a low- lidded plod – it’s a mode both austere and seductive, lulling the listener into its landscapes of deepening dusk. Lyrically, Lundvall’s language skews observational and depressive (“through lace curtains / grey light falls / dark clouds gather / in my soul”), with each song like a gauzy glimpse into a different tableau framing winter’s descent: rust-colored leaves, frozen ponds, cold crescent moons.Lundvall has long considered 'Last Light' a “personal favorite” in his discography, and it’s easy to hear why. In texture, finesse, and pacing, it vividly evokes the rare mood of fragile, frosty pastoral noir depicted in his iconic oil paintings. His is an art of the half-seen and half-remembered, of fleeting figures, shapes and shadows, and gathering darkness. Of all that disappears, and the ghosts that never leave: “So I wait / as the years / slowly drain the magic and the light / and the girl / I never loved / haunts me through the dark roads of my life.”Tor Lundvall:Instagram https://found.ee/TorLundvallIGBandcamp https://found.ee/TorLundvallBCWebsite https://found.ee/TorLundvallWebDais artist's page https://found.ee/DaisTorLundvallMore from Tor Lundvall: https://found.ee/TorLundvallDais Records:Instagram https://found.ee/DaisRecordsIGBandcamp https://found.ee/DaisRecordsBCTwitter https://found.ee/DaisRecordsTwWebsite https://found.ee/DaisRecordsFacebook https://found.ee/DaisRecordsFBSubscribe https://found.ee/DaisRecordsYT"It's Over Now" lyrics:Daylight falls in your eyesAs the years pass you byDead and goneAll your dreams left behindCrippled love, wasted timeDead and gone

Kite - Remember Me (Official Audio) Dais Records 2023-08-18 | Kite's "Remember Me" from the 7" single: https://found.ee/DTTLASince founding Swedish synthpop duo KITE in 2008, singer Nicklas Stenemo and keyboardist Christian Hutchinson Berg’s brooding fusion of cinematic electronics and anthemic pop has steadily elevated into a spectacle of passion, atmosphere, and communion. Their debut double-A vinyl single for Dais Records, Don't take the light away / Remember me captures KITE at their most urgent, thrilling and apocalyptic."Don't take the light away" is a song about “the war between energies,” with singer Stenemo’s wounded croon leading a rising tide of stabbing strings, pulsing percussion, and looming bass orchestrated by keyboardist Hutchinson Berg, surging to a mass-chanted chorus both desperate and triumphant (“dance, let them dance into me / people versus people can’t see / hands should be holding hands”). "Remember me" was written following the band's 2017 US tour, capturing the intense feelings of burnout and exhaustion. "Remember me, Won't you remember me, Promise you'll remember me."Words only tell half of the story; smoke spills across the stage, and the melodies become a battle cry. Our worst fears eventually boil over, turning into hope and resilience. Like the best of KITE’s music, "Don't take the light away" and "Remember me" fuse theater and catharsis into anthems of universal yearning, born of “the struggle to keep a flickering candle lit in a very dark space.” Kite:Instagram https://found.ee/KiteIGBandcamp https://found.ee/KiteBCYouTube https://found.ee/KiteYTSpotify https://found.ee/KiteSpotifyFacebook https://found.ee/KiteFBLinktree https://linktr.ee/kitehqDais Records:Instagram https://found.ee/DaisRecordsIGBandcamp https://found.ee/DaisRecordsBCTwitter https://found.ee/DaisRecordsTwWebsite https://found.ee/DaisRecordsFacebook https://found.ee/DaisRecordsFBSubscribe https://found.ee/DaisRecordsYT"Remember me" lyrics:Remember me Will you remember meRemember meWon't you remember mePromise you'll remember meWanna…Want you to remember meRemember meRemember Remember won’t you member meWanna…Want you to remember mePromise you'll remember meWant you to remember meRemember Remember won’t you member meI'll see to that you’ll remember meRemember meWon't you remember meRemember meWon't you remember mePromise you remember meWant you to remember meRemember Remember won’t you member meIt’s true people die..

Drew McDowall - Opener (Official Audio) Dais Records 2023-07-07 | "Opener" from Drew McDowall's 'Lamina'. Buy on CD & Stream: https://found.ee/Lamina"Compiling Lamina was a process of excavation that felt more like psychoanalysis than sonic archaeology. I don’t usually listen back to music I create after it’s completed and released so this was a weirdly disorientating and strange process initially that became a window into my state of mind at the time these pieces were recorded. In the end the biggest problem going through the unreleased material was deciding what to leave out, at one point I had enough material for over 10 CD’s so the criteria then was to illustrate either my iterative process of composition or to include much older experiments that sound something wildly different to what I normally do but also somehow contain the seeds or traces of what I later did. One of the interesting things was the different versions of tracks from the 4 albums and finding all these different possibilities that end up being narrowed down to what made the cut for the final release." - DrewDrew McDowall:Instagram https://found.ee/DrewMcDowallIGBandcamp https://found.ee/DrewMcDowallBCArtist's page https://found.ee/DaisDrewMcDowall Linktree https://linktr.ee/drewmcdowallDais Records:Instagram https://found.ee/DaisRecordsIGBandcamp https://found.ee/DaisRecordsBCTwitter https://found.ee/DaisRecordsTwWebsite https://found.ee/DaisRecordsFacebook https://found.ee/DaisRecordsFBSubscribe https://found.ee/DaisRecordsYT

Written in the wake of 2019’s neo-EBM classic, 'Time To Kill', they sifted inspiration from hidden moments within their own arcana – childhood tapes, home movies, abandoned demos – asking themselves the question: “How can we make this grow?”Sampled snippets of voice, noise, synth, and field recordings flicker in the periphery of these 11 tracks, murmuring like nostalgias half-forgotten, or displaced memories. It’s music pulled between twin flames of truth and desire, romanticization and reality, catharsis and control, born of a bond sealed by years, dreams, and blood.Working with Telefon Tel Aviv co-founder Josh Eustis in Los Angeles, the brothers incorporated an expanded array of live instrumentation – piano, bass, saxophone, acoustic guitar – in addition to vintage Akai samplers, Moogs, and archaic hardware, giving the album an eclectic, unpredictable palette. Opener “Get It Right” showcases their impressive refinement: sleekly cold drum machinery builds to a swooning chorus of synths and piano, then suddenly slips into a dream sequence bridge of strummed guitar and echo-shrouded vocals, before surging back to the main melody. Throughout, the songs shift gears and moods in evocative ways, as if bending to fleeting thoughts or lengthening shadows. Simmering synth lament “Strike The Match” captures the Jarsons’ unique technique of co-crafted lyrics, accruing meaning as the world turns; though written long before, the track ended up being recorded the day Russia invaded Ukraine (“I fall asleep to the candlelight / things will be different but not tonight / it wouldn’t be like you to strike the match / over and over, I can’t understand”).A trio of intriguing instrumentals deepen the album’s scope, echoing the duo’s early experimental era as part of the influential Ascetic House collective. “Fortia,” “Hyena,” and “Deepcolorlights” drift in a prismatic gauze of whispered synths and oblique minutia, in the spirit of Boards of Canada at their most hushed and haunted. Elsewhere the record spins through a gallery of the band’s ongoing fascinations: Depeche Mode- esque declarations of dread and excess (“This Conversation”), brooding dance floor epiphanies (“Out Of Season”), smooth Thomas Dolby city skyline melancholias (“Never Ever”), lovesick looking glass ballads laced with Art Of Noise orchestral stabs (“On This Day”). A new age demands new waves, and Body Of Light belongs at the forefront of a resurgent generation fusing modern methods with the sounds of futures past. Singer Alex Jarson sees their muse clearly, at the axis of anguished transition, temporal collapse, and, just possibly, the brink of hope: “Time is dysphoric. The dream breaks down.
