Best Albums of 2014

Vanguard, dark, excessive, fun, bold, touching, innovative, game-changing…it’s time for us to announce our album of the year.

Best Tracks of 2014

2014 has been a year of outstanding releases. From first order, accomplished musicians to new coming talents, it’s time for us to unveil the best tracks of the year.

Barnt: Magazine 13

Barnt’s debut LP is not funny-sounding, it’s not barely cool or assuming any particular stance towards today’s music industry. No, this is nothing of that but most certainly, this album is a subtle game-changer and hopefully, a matrix opus.

Torn Hawk: Let’s Cry And Do Pushups At The Same Time

Using a technique he calls video mulch Wyatt blends found footage with cuts from popular films and scenes recorded by the artist himself. You could always sense an ironic approach in Wyatt’s visuals but his LP feels on the contrary – candid and emotional.

Top Tracks: November 2014

Before the year comes to an end, we’re up for a last round of our monthly top tracks selection.

Various: LL.M.001

Blending together the art of the shape and the replenishment of the matter, LL.M.001 assumes its position with sleek style and unquestionable taste.

Volte-Face

It seems that 2014 has been ‘the’ year in which everything that Casper Clark has worked for has been worth it. This mix is a summation of Volte-Face’s musical scope and integrity, offering up a hour and a half of experimental techno.

Tallesen: Stills Lit Through

Tallesen’s debut album ‘Stills Light Through’ is refreshing in that it doesn’t easily fall into the category of being either ‘light’ or ‘dark’, but neither is it sterile.

Eric Truffaz & Murcof: Being Human Being

Like Bilal’s paintings and drawings, the elegiac and mournful overtones of this record finds its influence and informants in the unsettling aspects of our own historical moment. And like Bilal’s art, it shapes these influences into something that speaks back to them, making for a very human response that is almost impossible not to connect with.

Tallesen

To celebrate the release of Tallesen’s new album “Stills Lit Through”, released this month on Oneohtrix Point Never’s Software Recording Company, we caught up with the producer and visual artist to discuss his relationship with both art forms and the twelve tracks that make up his debut “Stills Lit Through”.

Andy Stott: Faith in Strangers

As steely grey as its monochrome cover yet complimented with a lighter touch from Skidmore – “Faith in Strangers” is a bold and hugely satisfying move from an, as ever, progressive producer.

Top Tracks: October 2014

As the wintry weather begins to creep into our lives, here’s our second melting-pot of both heavy and delicate, sensuous yet hard-knocked sonic madness to warm up your hearts. Let’s celebrate October’s finest tracks!

Clark on his eponymous album

Clark talks about his 4 month long album writing process in a barn near Lincolnshire, acquiring re-edits from Marcel Dettmann and Pariah, working with Vincent Oliver on ‘Superscope’, incorporating contemporary dance into his live shows and how he thinks his music has progressed over the years.
