Every so often an artist comes along who pushes a medium right to the edges of its possibilities. Alan Currall is one such artist. His process driven modular synth is constructed in moments of true improvisation, so that once made, it cannot be repeated. This is synth that tells the story of its own creation. Every Alan Currall release on TONN Recordings is beautiful, surprising, and risk taking.
Monsieur Crane’s music has a rare electronic energy and powerful depth that strikes the heart with all the evocative scope of a cult cinematic soundtrack. From the first moment we heard the freshness and spontaneity of Monsieur Crane’s synth, TONN Recordings was hooked.
From his home city of Montréal, No brings us synth infused with lyricism mapped over the dark undercurrent of an intensively driving beat. From vocals suffused with a compelling nihilistic charge, No draws the listener into narratives with a somber core. This is synth unprocessed and raw edged, with an immediacy that goes straight to the heart of the matter.
From the Netherlands comes the irresistible sound of Grimdeluxe. His undeniably danceable beat and shimmering synth, form the perfect foundations for his sonorous vocal. Grimdeluxe’s lyrics tell us stories. His dream-like narratives, sometimes dark, often mysterious, are always delivered with a powerful sense of emotional connection to the listener.
The word cold gets used a lot when we speak about TONN Recordings’ synth, so it’s a rare thing to come across something in this music that evokes a warmer tone. But it’s that quality of warmth that has become the hallmark of Misfortunes’ sound. A synth that is rich, with a rhythmic undercurrent, always poised and poetic and a voice that is never more beautiful than in its native Greek. |
