Lebanon Hanover - The Last Thing

It is with great anticipation that we announce the release of LHs new Maxi Single titled “The last thing”. Luckily, Lebanon Hanover’s “Last thing” isn’t the last but the first impression of a full LP to follow later this year. Two beautifully melancholic tracks, allow us a glimpse into LHs private world of pure magic. Sonically the Single is capturing the vulnerability and at the same time the combustible energy of the duo. The enviroment remains morbidly romantic, while the distorted guitar reflects the sound of the distorted reality we live in.

Lebanon Hanover once again capture the spirit of our time, the loneliness, isolation, alienation and digital anxiety of the individual, offering us the comforting acknowledgement that there is still some deeply sensitive music out there. And that should be enough even if it would be the last thing remaining.

Murena Murena - Take Care of Me

And when I took off the visor, I realized that I had nothing in my hand. No straps and no reins that I’d believed on my hands all the way down the circuit. Although I had already realized during the journey that the image of the wheel arch did not correspond to reality, I had not dared to intervene. But then somebody else had to take control! Who?

King Midas wished he could turn everything into gold. Dionysus granted him this wish: Everything that Midas touched with his hands turned into gold, including food and drink – so he threatened to starve and die of thirst. He had become a king who could no longer even take care of himself.

Things become intangible. On his 3d album “Take Care Of Me”, Murena Murena does an about-turn: his new songs are silhouette vehicles in the reverse of all traffic formulas that strive for speed and progress. You can also do it with your back on the floor, you can also go backwards! In Murena Murena’s Augmented Reality Roll, language, rhythm and harmony always turn and expand in the opposite direction. The direction we / they came from.

If the idea of ​​a monoposto was to replace the front passenger with a rear-view mirror, and from then on to let the driver run the distance forwards and backwards in the driver’s eye, then you can also carry out a U-turn while sitting on a chair with eyes painted on the lids. A mandrill will quickly become the Sphinx. And a hawk moth sees just as much as a fire bug.

Dry sump lubrication in the box: camshafts driven by a spur gear cascade ensure additional turbulence of the helium mist in the crankcase through their rotary motion. Of course, that’s hard to believe. Gone, the wet sump lubrication of „Shame Over„! You, listener, now have to grab the ropes yourself and perform wave-like movements, pull the ropes and let them pop. If your eyes go black, you have both hands free again.

Hide - Interior Terror

HIDE are an electronic duo based in Chicago. The pair create dark and heavy sample-based compositions using a combination of self-sourced field recordings and various pop culture and media references. Their music is textured, minimal, and powerful, giving raw vulnerability an opportunity to unfurl. Their work is honest, confrontational, powerful and thought-provoking.

HIDE’s third album, Interior Terror further abandons traditional concepts of song structure in favor of splintered rhythms and fevered, immediate release. Expanding on previous themes of autonomy and empowerment, Interior Terror addresses and questions the corporeal and immaterial body in a physical and metaphysical sense. Turning to the dread inside, reflecting on the world around us, HIDE gives voice to the power of destruction as a catalyst for hope, and to the collective experiences of those who’ve come before us as a wellspring of our own power. Raw vocal delivery of mantra-like prose issued forth yields a raging, plaintive wail that lulls, mocks, questions, proclaims and decries. A dearth of collected field recordings give way to more fluid arrangements while retaining a scathing urgency. The result is minimal, spacious, and jarring; a distant knocking grown into the pulse of a hypnotic dirge, drones emerge from shards of decomposed sound, bending, seething their way through your body.
